The Toyota Highlander offers a new turbocharged engine this year, or a hybrid for better fuel economy. The Honda Pilot is gas-only, with a more modest interior. The Ford Explorer doesn’t match up on interior quality, but it offers hybrid and performance engine options. The Kia Telluride has one of the segment’s most upscale interiors and stylish exteriors. A 12.3-inch infotainment screen and navigation are now standard for the full lineup. With improved off-road capabilities, new X-Line and X-Pro trims are available on midrange and top SXP trims, all with standard all-wheel drive. The four base trims offer front-wheel drive with pricing from $35,690 to $45,490, but you can add all-wheel drive for $2,000. The Telluride comes in 10 trims, which can make it a bit confusing to figure out which one is best for you. There’s also plenty of room for cargo, the ability to tow, and enhanced off-road capabilities this year for more adventurous families. Standard features are extensive, from infotainment to safety, making the Telluride a good value, especially for families on a budget. The roomy and comfortable interior, with high-quality materials throughout, offers an upscale experience at an affordable price. Still in its first generation, the Kia Telluride is a stylish three-row SUV that seats up to eight people.
