When you picture the perfect family vehicle, what are some things that come to mind? Spaciousness, no doubt, as any family-friendly SUV needs ample room for inevitable backseat shenanigans. An array of high-tech features and other amenities is probably high on the list. And of course, no family car is worth investing in unless it comes with top safety marks.
The 2024 Kia Telluride checks off all those boxes and then some. So, it should come as no surprise that it’s been named the Best Family Car of 2024 by Cars.com.
Here at Savage Kia, we’re proud to be Reading’s home for these trailblazing SUVs, available in a variety of trims and ready to be driven off our lot. Read on for more info about the new Telluride: the premium SUV with mainstream appeal.
All In the Family
The Telluride, a midsize crossover SUV with three-row seating, debuted in 2019. It’s the largest vehicle Kia has ever produced in the United States. The Telluride’s name derives from an old gold mining town in Colorado, evoking the SUV’s adventurous spirit. But whether you take the Telluride off-road or exclusively use it for soccer practice, the Telluride was designed with families in mind.
“The Kia Telluride is an ideal family vehicle with a focus on value,” said Jenni Newman, editor-in-chief at Cars.com. “Its three rows, spaciousness and safety features provide families with an excellent option to hit the road in – and it’s easily our Best Family Car of 2024.”
In addition to the Telluride’s win, the Kia Seltos was named a finalist for Cars.com’s Best Car of 2024 title, and the Sorento was nominated for Best SUV of 2024.
A New Way to Ride in 2024
It should have been impossible for the 2024 Telluride to top the 2023 model’s extensive redesign. Yet the latest Telluride comes with a series of enhancements that helped elevate the reliable midsize SUV into an award winner.
Upgraded styling gives the Telluride a look that’s both fresh and rugged. Amber daylight running lights are included for the first time. Its returning, naturally aspirated V-6 engine ensures a smooth ride for the whole family, and it’s now capable of handling up to 5,500 pounds of towing.
A sense of luxury defines the refined three-row cabin, capable of seating seven or eight passengers. You’ll find an abundance of storage capacity throughout the interior, in addition to the SUV’s many features. A 12.3-inch touchscreen offers Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, in-dash navigation, and onboard Wi-Fi. A 10-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system and wireless smartphone charging are also included.
Safety First
All the aesthetic upgrades in the world wouldn’t make a difference if the Telluride wasn’t also a leader in safety. The 2024 Kia Telluride comes standard with Kia’s DriveWise driving and parking assistance technologies, including:
- Highway Driving Assist 2
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (with Stop & Go)
- Auto Emergency Braking Technology (with Junction Crossing Detection)
- Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-Reverse
