The only real downside, besides its general scarcity, it that it's merely OK to drive, with an engine that's nothing special in terms of fuel economy and acceleration. Kia also provides loads of equipment, user-friendly infotainment features, well-executed safety tech and above-average fuel economy.

It also provides more cargo space than most, including its mechanically related Hyundai Palisade sibling (speaking of which, if you can't find a Telluride, trying turning next to a Palisade or at least Kia's smaller Sorento three-row SUV). First and foremost, it is supremely practical, providing space in all three rows for full-size adults or teenagers - that's not a given in its segment. In other words, no matter how much we recommend the 2022 Telluride, you may not be able to find or afford one.Īll of that said, the 2022 Kia Telluride is indeed our top-recommended three-row family SUV. Demand was already through the roof before pandemic-related shortages compounded things, resulting in customers either finding no Tellurides available to purchase or gigantic dealer markups driving prices up far beyond the not-insignificant MSRP. Who would've thunk that one of the hottest cars on the market would be a three-row family crossover from Kia, of all brands? Yet, that's exactly what the 2022 Kia Telluride is.
