2026 Kia Telluride review

Kia Telluride: the family hauler that doesn't feel like one. Illustrative review

7.4/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Kia Telluride is a reasonable choice if the price is right. Well-organized infotainment; easy to see out of and park. Touch-only climate controls on some trims and price climbs fast with options, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $38,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Would buy again

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.
