Best Three-Row Midsize SUV: 2023 Kia Telluride

Another Kia-Hyundai selection in the three-row midsize SUV category, though this win is not much of a surprise given the number of trophies the Telluride has taken home since its introduction a few short years ago (in 2020, to be exact). Growing pains? What growing pains?

What KBB liked:

  •  Very upscale interior
  •  Well-equipped in terms of standard safety systems and other tech
  •  Value for the money
  •  The model is shaping up to be resale value champ
  •  Room for everyone inside
  •  Styling updates, while retaining its popular exterior look
  •  X-Line and X-Pro trims widen the range
