Every penny felt defensible from the Telluride’s cockpit. Our top-of-the-line tester begs $46,860 from your wallet. Its interior quality matches the midsize luxury SUVs from Japan (and most of the Germans), and betters them all when price is factored. The Telluride is a three-row, unibody SUV that will cause Lexus shoppers fits.

More specifically, I want to talk about the machine that conveyed me, my wife, and our cat and across the country safely: the 2020 Kia Telluride. You can read all about that trip and its myriad foibles in the June, 2020 issue of Road & Track (which should have arrived in your mailbox by now). The trip was a real white-knuckler, tinged with the urgency and paranoia only a pandemic could bring. The four-day drive spanned the continent, from Brooklyn, New York to Washington state’s far-flung farm country, with more than 45 hours of wheels-on-pavement drive time. At the exact moment I wheeled the 2020 Telluride into my in-laws’ Eastern Washington driveway, the trip odometer read 2858.4 miles.
