Kia presents the new generation of the Telluride, a three-row SUV that renews its proposal while maintaining its family essence. With a redesigned exterior and a more spacious interior, the biggest novelty is under the hood. It abandons the V6 for a 2.5L turbo four-cylinder engine and a hybrid version, seeking a balance between performance and efficiency.
The technical bet: efficiency without losing capacity 🛠️
The 2.5L turbo gasoline engine, although with fewer horsepower than the previous V6, offers more torque. The hybrid version, with 329 hp, surpasses the power of the previous block and marks a highlight in consumption, reaching up to 35 mpg combined. This change responds to the demand for more efficient powertrains in large segments, without compromising road responsiveness or the refined driving that characterizes the model.
Goodbye to the gas station, your second home ⛽
With the new hybrid, the relationship with the service station changes. It will no longer be that familiar place where you greet the employee by name. The 35 mpg combined means that, finally, you can use the tank for what it is: a fuel container, not a decorative accessory you visit every three days. It's a step toward independence, although the vehicle's size will continue to make finding parking your favorite extreme sport.
