2021 Kia Telluride

Kia Telluride rolls into the 2021 model year with minor enhancements and a special appearance package, the Nightfall Edition, with stealth-black elements that give the midsize SUV a more aggressive yet sophisticated character.

The Nightfall Edition is offered in eight eye-catching exterior colors; Snow White Pearl, Everlasting Silver, Gravity Gray, Ebony Black, Sangria, Black Copper and Dark Moss -- plus Wolf Gray, a newly introduced exterior hue exclusive to the Nightfall Edition.

For 2021, upgrades include: Towing trailer harness upgraded from 4 Pin to 7 Pin; Remote engine start button added to the remote key fob; and LED headlamps included in the EX Premium Package.

The Telluride provides comfortable seating for up to eight, a powerful V6, available active on-demand all-wheel drive, and an inspiring view of the road.

Telluride features the 3.8L V6 engine producing 291 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 262 lb.-ft. of torque at 5,200 rpm; 8-speed automatic transmission; Four-wheel independent suspension; Strong, stiff, and torsionally rigid body structure due to the monocoque shell that is composed of 59.4 percent advanced high-strength steel; and Self-leveling rear suspension.

Choice of four drive modes -- Smart, Eco, Sport and Comfort -- each using different settings for powertrain, drivetrain, and steering effort mapping to provide the desired driving experience. In addition to the four regular drive modes, in vehicles equipped with AWD, drivers can select from two different modes, "Snow" and "AWD Lock", for specific driving conditions.
