Kia Telluride LX
The Kia Telluride LX is a 7-seat family-focused choice that leans into reliability, safety, and space for large families and road trips. Strong 277 hp performance and a 603-liter trunk help on long hauls, while its 10.6 combined consumption and size are less ideal for dense city use.
