2021 Kia Telluride vs 2020 Kia Telluride - Denver Area
2021 Kia Telluride Overview
Are you in the market for a large crossover that seats up to seven or even eight? Look no further than the Telluride, which is an all-new nameplate from Kia that has earned heaps of critical praise. The 2020 Kia Telluride is not only large and comfortable but loaded with technologies and amenities-all at a bargain price relative to the class at large. Hot on the heels of this breakthrough success is the 2021 Kia Telluride, which has recently arrived at Arapahoe Kia, your local Kia dealer serving Denver Littleton Aurora Centennial Lakewood. Join us as we determine how these two models measure up across a range of categories in our 2021 Kia Telluride vs 2020 Kia Telluride near Denver comparison.
Exterior - Kia Dealer serving Denver CO
The biggest change for the 2021 Kia Telluride when it comes to the exterior is the Nightfall appearance package, which is available at our location with either the Telluride EX or SX-the two top trims. It adds a blacked-out aesthetic that goes far beyond just a special coat of black paint-Ebony Black. In fact, you can get the Nightfall package with several color options that are not black at all- Black Copper, Dark Moss, Everlasting Silver, Gravity Gray, Sangria, Snow White Pearl and Wolf Gray-and they all really pop due to the contrast. Nightfall adds a distinctive black grille, special headlamps and foglamps, gloss black roof rails, a wide range of other black accents and unique 20-inch black wheels.
Interior - 2021 Kia Telluride near Denver CO
The interior is much the same as it was with the 2020 Kia Telluride. It can seat either seven or eight depending on whether you want a second-row bench or captain's chairs. The overall passenger volume exceeds 157 cubic feet. Legroom is 41.4, 42.4 and 31.4 inches in the first, second and third row, respectively. The third row legroom is particularly notable since that is huge for a vehicle classified as a crossover and means that you can actually accommodate adult passengers back there. Cargo space is also impressive with a dedicate area that gives you 21 cubic feet, and when you need more room, you can fold the third row for 46 cubes or both rear rows for 87 cubes.
Kia Telluride Mechanical specs
As with the 2020 Kia Telluride, all 2021 Telluride models available at our location serving Denver Littleton Aurora Centennial Lakewood have a 3.8-liter V6 under the hood. This engine makes 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet, and Kia marries it to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard across the lineup, and all-wheel drive is optional at all trim levels. The Nightfall option is only available with all-wheel drive. The Telluride can tow up to 5,000 pounds with proper equipment. A trailer-tow option is available, and a change for this model year is that it now comes with a seven-pin wiring harness as opposed to a four-pin wiring harness.
