By making those changes, the aerodynamic efficiency has also improved, with the Telluride dropping its drag coefficient down to 0.30.Up front, vertical headlights frame a bold high-gloss grille, while flush door handles and chiseled fender accents refine the profile. It's one of the best looking models in the class, if not the class leader, and this new model only reinforces that.Inside, the cabin gets a sanctuary-like treatment. The stretched wheelbase unlocks class-leading second-row legroom and easier third-row access.Comfort takes a major leap with available front relaxation seats featuring power leg rests, a massaging driver seat, power climate-controlled second-row captain's chairs, and even heated third-row outboard seats. Thicker door glass and expanded sound insulation ensure the ride stays quiet and refined.#4: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)At number four: advanced safety and driver assistance. Kia targeted an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating by reinforcing the body structure and fitting 10 standard airbags, including a new front-row center airbag designed to prevent occupant impact during a side collision.AdvertisementAdvertisementStandard features now include Hands-on Detection, Lane Following Assist 2, an In-Cabin Camera, and both forward and reverse parking sensors.On the highway, available Highway Driving Assist 2 combines distance control, lane centering, and automated lane-change assistance. You also get a Blind-Spot View Monitor, Safe Exit Assist, and a radar-based Rear Occupant Alert system that can send a push notification directly to your smartphone if an occupant is detected in the rear seats.

Combining a turbo four-cylinder with an electric motor and a 1.65-kilowatt-hour battery, it pumps out 329 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque.AdvertisementAdvertisementFor a long time, the Toyota Highlander's hybrid was a main reason to buy that model. This new development gives buyers yet another reason to opt for the Kia.On the EX Front Wheel Drive trim, it earns an EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined and offers up to 637 miles of total driving range. Hybrid models also feature Stay Mode, allowing you to run the cabin climate control, lighting, and infotainment on battery power for up to an hour with the gas engine turned off.The standard engine is a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making 274 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque-adding nearly 50 pound-feet of pulling power over the outgoing V6.It pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and hauls up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
