2020 KIA Telluride

As they say in the media world...”Breaking News”.  Recently the new Kia

Telluride went head to head with 24 other SUV's in Motor Trend's stiff yearly competition for its 2020 SUV of the Year Award. The Telluride brought back the trophy.  Congrats Kia. 

Motor Trend commented: “It just does everything right.  It's quiet, comfortable, smooth, stylish and affordable.”  You will nod your head in agreement when you visit the friendly folks at Van Griffith KIA located at 4301 Hwy 377 E in Granbury, Texas or by calling the dealership at 817.573.0400 and take a Kia Telluride for a spin.  Easy as that. 

You will also feel you are getting something with premium equipment and features without paying the premium price.  The all new Kia flagship Telluride has risen to the top of the 3-row midsized SUV's in a very short time.  This is the result of the refined fun driving experiences, user friendly controls, huge passenger/cargo area, gobs of standard safety features, styling and more.  Also, the Telluride can be rough road ready while having a softer refined side when taking your “better half” someplace nice on date night.  This American made Telluride is Kia's first large and powerful 3-row crossover and will comfortably seat 7 or 8 passengers. 

The excitement starts with its new powertrain under the muscular hood in the form of a feisty 3.8-liter V6 that punches out over 290 ponies and 262 lb-ft of asphalt/dirt grabbing torque in two wheel or all-wheel drive. This powerful six is perfectly mated with a smooth shifting 8-speed automatic.  You will also appreciate Kia's latest multi-media user friendly infotainment system to keep you and yours entertained and in touch with the rest of the world.  There are USB ports for everyone seated to keep the electronic stuff charged.

The wide and comfortable seats fit most body styles and the second row accommodations are very generous which slide forward at a touch of a button to allow guests into the third row.  As mentioned, the new Telluride has a slew of standard safety features that include the highly popular automatic braking with pedestrian detection to keep you away from collision shops or emergency rooms.  Thank you Kia.  You will also enjoy the quiet riding experience with its new suspension system that soaks up rough pavement. 

On top of all this, the new 2020 Kia Telluride is a “head turner” with its smooth lines, aggressive looking grille molded in a wide and assertive stance that sets it apart from the rest of the herd.  The Telluride is as affordable as you can get one for under 33k.  Now couldn't be a better time to  put it on Santa's list as you have been good all year long and a Telluride would look super dressed up with a big red bow parked in your driveway.
