2020 Kia Telluride Reviews

My telluride is the top of the line model it has captain chairs first two rows with a bench for the third row it is quiet dependable reliable and has every feature that should be on every car. Lane assist blind spot warning forward collision rear collision it lets you know to check your back seat if something is left there the SUV was built with dependability and comfort in mind. It has heated seats cooled seats heated steering wheel a panoramic sunroof. But most of all it is crafted with you in mind high quality materials and many safety features plus a world class warranty.

We purchased a new Telluride in May 2020. After 4,500 miles the transmission failed. It was replaced under Kia warranty. One month after new transmission installed, it began revving and refusing to accelerate. We also experienced problems with the heat and cooling system not working. After 2 attempts to fix transmission, it is still revving high and is very hesitant to accelerate jerking and occasionally we get an error and we are forced to pull off the side of the road and restart vehicle. It’s a nice vehicle overall, but I am very disappointed in having 2 transmissions fail within 6 months of ownership. I love the looks, features and posh interior, but do not trust this vehicle for reliability and will be replacing it ASAP. Hopefully mine is the exception.

I have always been a Toyota owner. I was looking for a third row option vehicle with captains seats that wouldn't completely break the bank. I test drove many vehicles before deciding on the telluride. The options for the price are unmatched. It is fantastic on gas mileage for being a larger SUV. I love the raised screen because it allows me to see the navigation better. I do wish it had a larger storage space in the back without having to put the third row down.

The Kia telluride is one of the best cars that I have ever gotten. The Kia is really smooth when you drive and it is really comfortable. It is extremely spacious and it provides a lot of features that most cars do not. There are about 6 different plugins all throughout the car making is really convenient. The backseat passengers can change the ac settings to fit their needs. There are about 5 different options of driving modes including sport mode, economic, snow, regular, etc.

Is a really nice car but lacks some of the little things that I used to get in my luxury Acura. It has a great style and has tons of room for multiple people. Has leather, 2nd row captains seats and fully fold down third row. The third row is very spacious and a large size adult has no problem fitting. The little things that it is missing are items like a garage door opener, seat memory, etc. The infotainment system is nice and the heated and cooled seats are awesome.

It is very comfortable and is easy to use with a good screen. It fits my family very comfortably! I love the colors of it and all the features operate very smooth. This includes features such as seat recliners, air conditioning, sound/music, heating, and Bluetooth phone connection. This car is great for family vacation because it has a lot of room for luggage in the trunk while also having enough seating for an entire family. It is also a very good looking car. Love it!

Absolutely love the Kia telluride. The ride is incredibly smooth. The safety features are phenomenal. When you turn the car off, it tells you to check the backseat so you do not forget any kids! Also the steering wheel will vibrate and shake if someone or something is behind the car. The seats are amazingly comfortable! It has a huge screen in the front that looks so sleek and nice. I had never owned a Kia, but I will definitely go back for another telluride down the road.

I recently purchased my first ever Kia. We purchased the 2020 Kia telluride. I had been leasing a ford escape for the past six plus years. I was in need of a larger vehicle to accommodate my two small children who were in car seats. With my current vehicle I was not able to sit in the backseat with my children. The Kia telluride was much more spacious and was able to fit my two car seats and myself in the second row. I also wanted to have a third row to be able to bring along other family members and to have lots of storage. I absolutely love my vehicle there's a few things that I wish I had but because I got the base model the options I wanted were not available. I miss having the power seats and the power tailgate and I miss having the climate control. Everything else so far I have loved about the vehicle I love how spacious it is my kids have plenty of room in the backseat and any adult who wants to ride in the second row or in the third row has plenty of leg room there's tons of room for storage. The car drives very smooth and blocks lots of the road noise out. I have had a couple issues with the android auto but it could possibly be just my connecting cord and not the actual port itself. The cruise control options are very nice and if anybody cuts you off the car automatically slows itself it does warn you when there is a possible collision. The taller doors make it much easier to put your children in without bumping their head on the door frame trying to get them into their seat. I would definitely purchase my vehicle again but I would upgrade so that I could have all of the features that I said I missed.

I love the telluride. Besides being a great looking SUV, I love its safety features, like the lane assist. The different driving modes (comfort, smart, sport...) Also enhance the driving experience. I particularly love the one that lets you step off the gas in stop and go traffic conditions. The interior is very comfortable and the apple car system is super convenient to connect your iPhone to the screen and use navigation apps or play your music or use your phone to make calls or text with your voice while driving.

I love the color of the vehicle. I do think that some of the things on the vehicle are made cheap. I have had a couple of issues with the back of the seats coming off, the felt. However, Kia did fix the problem. The handle to shut the trunk has popped off a few times but it goes right back on. Although, it being a new car it is kind of frustrating. Other than that I do not really have any complaints about the car. I love the way it drives and all the bells and whistles.

No!!!! We now have a little over 10,000 miles on it and just this morning encountered the second major event with the vehicle. The motor decided to vibrate badly, oddly, and the check engine light came on. I left it on because I had no other choice. I turned the heat on to warm the vehicle for my son and I so I could put him on the bus for school. Upon moving the vehicle it was sluggish, jerky even. Just before parking it, it stuttered and almost died. We also experienced the Malfunctioning collision warning System. It was not just a light going off. It locked and slid my brakes automatically with no danger in sight. This is in addition to the seat belt recall and windshield cracking that the manufacturer has made the public aware of. It makes me furious to think that the collision system is something they use as a selling point in commercials and it about got me and my children killed.

Performance on this vehicle is absolutely amazing. It drives so smoothly. It has a sport mode, comfort mode, smart mode, eco mode all of which are extremely useful. The interior is gorgeous. The car is luxurious and is definitely the most bang for your buck. You get so much out of this car. It is an awesome family car that is so practical and makes your life so much easier. We get so many compliments. The only issue we have had so far is sometime the fan for the ac and heat will not blow hard and we haven’t been able to figure out why it comes and goes.

This car is roomy, comfortable, easy to drive, and well made. This is not the first Kia I have owned and feel as though I would continue to buy Kia's in the future. The biggest thing for me is the convenience of being able to plug my phone in and use it to call, text, and navigate where I am going. Additionally, the telluride offers many additional features (such as smart drive and changes to the performance) that allow me to choose how I utilize the vehicle. Additionally, it has great safety ratings which is important to me when considering the vehicle I drive - especially because I have a family.

The seating in the vehicle is very comfortable! Another thing I like about the vehicle is that I'drives very smoothly. One of the things that get frustrating at times, the vehicle will brake hard if there is a car in front of you while cruise control is initiated. Some of the vehicles are a pretty far distance where you wouldn't otherwise brake. Other than that the car is amazing. I like the buttons that allow the seats to slide up manually without having to push the seat up and slide for third row passengers. I also love the space in the vehicle. I am a taller guy and I can sit in the third row without any problems!

The telluride has many features. I travel often and this SUV drives like a dream. It has a luxury feel like a Mercedes without the hefty price tag. It has the uvo app which allows you to start your vehicle without being in it, so you can cool it down on those hot days, or warm it up on those colder days. It has the hands free capabilities of talking on the phone via Bluetooth and will even read to you a text message, which is a cool feature. It has a moonroof with the panoramic view. It has three rows which is beneficial when family is visiting and we all fit comfortably. It has an intercom feature so you can speak to someone in the third row without yelling across the vehicle. It has many driving options like, sport, comfort and smart, to name a few, which basically assists you when driving, it will steer for you. Of course you shouldn't take your hands off the wheel, but it is a nice feature. I am truly happy with this beautiful SUV and I would definitely recommend this purchase. You will not be disappointed.

I love my Kia telluride! It is the perfect size, not too big and not too small. It is roomy and comfy and has a very luxurious look to it. I have had it for about 3 months and haven’t noticed any problems yet! It runs great and drives nice and smooth. The safety features are great. I was worried about gas since it is bigger than any car I have had but the mpg is more so I spend about the same on gas. The one thing that I wish was better is the clarity of the back up camera.

The car drives really well. The ride is smooth and the cruise control with lane assistance is one of my favorite features. It seats 6 comfortably and the passengers have a ton of leg space. Gas mileage is good and the car has good pick up. I like the 'snow' feature, living in the northeast, it comes in very handy. The driver interface is easy to use. I love the navigation, it is much more clear than my last car's was. I really like the 'carplay' feature that shows my phone and allows me to use my phones apps easily. It also allows me to use 'siri' when I would like to. Another benefit is the ability to use the navigation on my phone if I do not want to use the cars navigation. The car is sporty and fun and I enjoy offering to drive if we need to go anywhere.

At this time with the vehicle being so new it does not have any current problems. We did recently have to take it in for a rear main seal leak that the dealership took care of almost immediately. I went from a 2015 suburban to the Kia telluride. The transition wasn't the easiest but the third row seat option was a life saver. Gas mileage and comfort are far superior to vehicles that cost double what we purchased our telluride for. I do highly recommend the Kia telluride for families that are looking from comfort convenience. It has all the bells and whistles that you could ever need and then some. The moon roof is one of my favorite features.

Luxurious without the hefty price tag of competitors vehicles. The 10 yr/100,000 mile warranty is by far one of the best warranties you can find on the market. I own the 2020 Kia telluride sx in pearl white with black wheels. The stylish exterior catches the eye and the interior is luxury at its finest. There is plenty of room for passengers with the third row seating, allowing for 7, and ample room for each passenger to have their own space. The captains chairs and ability to charge devices from anywhere in the vehicle is such a convenience. In addition to the comfort of the interior, the led headlamps and taillights, 20-inch wheels, chrome body trim, memory seats, second-row privacy window shades, and heated and ventilated seats are just a few of my favorite things about the telluride. Not to mention this vehicle is all-wheel drive. I cannot tell you how many compliments I have received on my vehicle and strangers asking to look inside. I give this vehicle a solid 5 stars.

I love the room that the SUV offers. The handling on this vehicle is amazing even if it is large. I enjoyed the smooth ride whether I am on the freeway or on the surface streets. I also enjoy the fact that I can put all of my football gear or sports gear no matter what I plan on using that day. My family loves the spacious middle and back rows and we also have an entertainment system in the back so the kids can watch movies. Long rides in my SUV are such more enjoyable now than before. I really like the Bluetooth hands-free feature when I am driving on the freeway. This way I can keep my attention on the road and not on my phone calls or text messages. This vehicle safety features are simply amazing it has numerous airbags and frost warning as well I love my Kia.

I waited 7 months to get the telluride but I think it was well worth the wait. I haven't had any problems with it this far. There performance is exceptional - there's a sport, eco and comfort mode on the vehicle. Even when you use sport mode, I feel like it does not significantly impact the miles per gallon. I upgraded and had the additional interior mood lighting added in the cup holders, which was well worth the additional cost. The leather seats are heated and cooled and are very comfortable. I love the heads up display for the app and navigation. It really give it that sleek high-end look.

Boiling down the many issues to single one of would be the app. Simply put it is horrible. The remote start feature takes very long to connect and then once connected it takes a long time to actually the vehicle. The display will read that it is updating vehicle information before it will attempt to initiate starting. Why do they update on the users time? Next you may get a message that says they cannot perform the the feature now TRY AGAIN LATER. Just what components to see her attempting to warm up the vehicle for their family. Called Kia direct and got no help. Very poor response.

I have had my telluride for a year now. The uvo link messed up about three months in and I have no desire to get it fixed as it would send random notifications and make the alarms on the car go off at 3am. Also the uvo link seems to run down the battery because my battery died one day. Other than the uvo link I really like the safety features on the car. I used to not wear a seat belt all the time now I do because it will not shut up with the singing. Also, every time I get out of the car it reminds me to check rear seats because of the weight of my child's car seat. If I lock the doors and leave my child the alarm sounds. There is font and back end collision monitors and the breaks will be applied by itself if you back up and a car is coming or if a car is breaking or turning in front of you.
