The Telluride is the family SUV that feels like it's punched above its class.
Luxurious cabin materials · Composed highway ride
Cramped third row for adults · No hybrid variant yet
The 2026 Kia Telluride continues to set a high bar in the three-row SUV segment. It boasts a spacious and refined interior that would make any road trip feel like a first-class journey. The cabin is thoughtfully designed, with upscale materials that make it feel more luxurious than its price tag suggests. We were pleasantly surprised by its driving manners; it's composed and confident, whether you're cruising down the highway or navigating through twisty backroads. However, that third row might feel more like a penalty box for adults, so keep that in mind if you're planning to regularly fill all seats. If you're seeking a comfortable, tech-savvy vehicle for family adventures, the Telluride should be at the top of your list.
Our pick: EX ($43,505)
vs. 2026 Volkswagen Atlas: The Telluride edges out the Atlas with its more luxurious interior and better value.
