This is a mid-size SUV, but it looks
bigger and bolder and reminds me of
a Range Rover. It is more than good
looking. It is stately both inside and out.
The quality/price ratio is phenomenal,
particularly when you consider it is made
in West Point, Georgia. It is no wonder
that Kia is recognized as one of the 100
Best Global Brands. You really can’t
appreciate this vehicle without driving
it, and then riding in it while someone
else drives, so you can experience the
comfort that this car delivers while still
being able to tow 5,000 pounds. This
is bound to become one of the most
sought after vehicles for sale this year.
It answers the questions a family might
have about an all-purpose vehicle with
an overwhelming refrain of “yes.” Safety,
comfort, style and performance are all
provided in the Telluride, and even I
could lower and raise the back two rows
so that I could go from hauling people
to hauling gear. 9
