Columbus OH - 2020 Kia Telluride's Overview

Many driver-assist safety features are standard in the 2020 Telluride, and it gets plenty of power and towing capacity from its base engine. One vehicle that the Telluride competes with is the 2020 Nissan Pathfinder. But the Pathfinder ranks #10 in its class while the Telluride takes the top spot. The Pathfinder falls short of the Telluride in a number of key ways, including below-average cargo capacity, less interior space, and a bumpy ride quality.

When it comes to interior design and quality, it is hard to surpass what the 2020 Telluride offers. Starting with the base level, you'll find plenty of luxury, comfort, and amenities. The base trim level comes packed with plenty of features for an entry-level model, including five USB charging ports, simulated leather upholstery, split-folding seats in the second and third rows, a USB input cable, and a six-speaker sound system that includes satellite radio. Simulated leather seats offer comfortable seating, while selectable drive modes and adaptive cruise control enhance the car's performance. Rear parking sensors facilitate reversing. Standard infotainment includes an eight-inch display screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A sunroof, heated front seats, and captain's chairs are added on the second trim, while the top trims get a 10.3-inch touchscreen display and a 10-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.

Performance - 2020 Kia Telluride dealer

One area where the 2020 Telluride excels is power and performance. All trim levels of the 2020 Telluride have the same engine, which is a gasoline-powered engine with six cylinders. This capable engine produces up to 291 HP and 262 LB-FT of torque. The 3.8L engine is coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission for optimal performance and smooth gear shifting. Front-wheel drive is the standard drivetrain with the Telluride, although you can choose all-wheel drive as your choice of drivetrain instead. The 2020 Nissan Pathfinder, on the other hand, offers less power all around. The Pathfinder has the same engine across the board, which is a 3.5L with six cylinders. The maximum power produced by the Pathfinder falls short of what the Telluride offers, with a maximum output of just 284 HP and 259 LB-FT of torque. Front-wheel drive is the standard drivetrain on this model.

Head-turning style is another notable offering of the Kia Telluride. The Telluride is designed to impress from front to back with a number of stylish components. The base trim is equipped with 18-inch wheels, while the second trim level and up get larger 20-inch wheels. Automatic headlights are standard components on the base trim, too. Moving up to the second trim adds larger 20-inch wheels and roof rails. All-around LED tail lights are standard on the third trim level, which also gets acoustic glass for its front doors and a hands-free liftgate. Topping the line is the Telluride SX, which includes all the features above along with LED head lights and fog lights. Automatic high beams, which are also standard, enhance the car's visibility while giving it a stylish front end. The Nissan Pathfinder carries over largely unchanged from the previous model year. A panoramic sunroof isn't available for most trims on the Pathfinder, and the largest wheels you can order are 18-inch wheels, which are only available through a package for select trim levels.
