Although Kia has been manufacturing models that have moved considerably upmarket from the Spectras and Concords of ages past, there always seemed to be an upper limit for the brand. Whether real or imagined, most mass-market brands face this limit to how nice a vehicle can look before it’s considered a luxury model. If you would have told us even five years ago that we’d be comparing a Kia model to a Land Rover model, we would have just assumed we went mad with power and were comparing vehicles willy-nilly.
Such is not the case, however. The 2020 Kia Telluride has ushered in a new era of sophisticated design, class-leading performance and a plethora of comfort and convenience technology which make every mile an event to anticipate. Kia’s new slogan “Give It Everything” adequately describes the philosophy behind the Telluride. Today, we are comparing the 2020 Kia Telluride to the Land Rover Discovery, a luxury SUV. Let’s see how the Telluride does:
