A Quebec family loading up for a July drive to the cottage knows the real test isn’t the destination. It’s the four or five hours in between. Kids get restless, adults get stiff, and a flat bench seat in the second row doesn’t help either one. The 2027 Kia Carnival’s available VIP Lounge second row is built around that exact stretch of highway. What Is the VIP Lounge Second Row? On the...
The 2021 Kia Telluride is revolutionizing the SUV market with a design that stands out of the pack and technologies that make it a bolder and more advanced option than its rivals. The Kia Telluride provides plenty of power and torque, along with advanced safety systems that protect occupants at all times.
Here, we compare the 2021 Kia Telluride with the 2021 Honda Pilot.
The 2021 Kia Telluride is more powerful
Power is important, especially in a three-row SUV. Whether you’re transporting a full load of passengers or towing a boat or an ATV, the Kia Telluride provides plenty of juice under the right pedal for any situation.
It is powered by a 3.8-litre V6 engine that outputs 291 horsepower. This is more than the Honda Pilot’s less competent V6 that ranks in at 280 horsepower. Both are offered with standard AWD, however, Kia’s all-wheel-drive system is much more advanced.
The Kia Telluride provides much better capabilities than the Pilot thanks to the Drive/Terrain Modes that can get you through just about anything you encounter on your adventures.
The 2021 Kia Telluride is more comfortable and technologically advanced
The 2021 Kia Telluride offers a long list of standard passive and active safety elements such as Advanced forward collision avoidance assist, Lane following assist, Blind spot collision avoidance assist and many more standard elements on the base model, but also elements like an available 360-degree camera.
Moreover, the SX Limited variant comes standard with the self-levelling suspension, which is great for towing or when transporting heavy loads. This feature is not available on the Honda Pilot.
Both SUVs offer a blacked-out version to enhance exterior style. However, the Telluride’s Nightsky Edition is more refined and much better equipped than the Pilot’s Black Edition.
With 20" black alloy wheels, a sumptuous Black grille, Black roof rails, Black front and rear skid plates, Black door window trim, Black door and bumper garnish, Black headlight and fog light inner bezels and Dark emblems, the Telluride Nightsky Edition takes the “blacked-out” style to a whole new level.
The Kia Telluride keeps piling up industry awards because it provides everything drivers and families want in a three-row SUV. You can shop for your car online with us. Our representatives are waiting for your call and can answer all your questions.
