Mentions safety tech but the Telluride has the blind spot cameras and better autonomous features. Not to mention the Telluride has the 3.8 across the trims and has a cheaper starting price. The equivalent base explorer is like 2k more expensive and gets a 4 cylinder lmao.

The Beautiful Deep Red Mazda introduced on the Mazda 6 and 2012 Sonata was put on everything over the past 9 years and I love that color and have it on my new 2017 Impala but it’s stepping aside to make room for this beautiful Green. You’re going to see a lot more. Prior to this year I can not think of any Main Street vehicle that offered green.

It’s got enough room for families because kids fit fine in 2nd and 3rd row and even some adults fit in the back fine for a ride and will be ok. And when you don’t need the back seats you can fold them easy. Also driving it is fun. ✌️

    I'm a Ford guy. But Kia is nailing it with new cars right now. Although powertrain options could be better. Kia has the right idea to include 3rd in this segment. Everyone should do that.

    After pricing this and a Telluride with similar options, the price appears to be more or less even. So I'm wondering what the use case is for someone picking a Sorento X-Line over a Telluride.
