Great Kia Telluride Supplants the Good Subaru Ascent

As you can see in the above chart, the Subaru Ascent comes closer than many models to matching the value of the 2020 Kia Telluride, yet it falls just short.

While Subaru has built their brand on being a more niche product, Kia has spent the last few years moving upmarket and offering more and more features without dramatic increases in the pricing of its lineup. This move has culminated in the 2020 Kia Telluride – an SUV that goes farther and does more.

With the 2020 Kia Telluride, you get a luxury SUV at half the price of a luxury SUV. It has more interior space, more towing capacity and a larger, more ergonomic infotainment system to ensure that any drive is one you can look forward to.
