This gives it a stylish-dare we say sinister-look thanks to a blacked-out grille, 20-inch wheels, and various other accents. Kia has gone light on changes for the Telluride's 2021 update, with the biggest update being the new Nightfall appearance package.

The 2021 Telluride simply provides unrivaled levels of luxury and remarkable utility, which is why it'll make you feel richer than your bank account might suggest. While its standard V-6 powertrain could be more fuel-efficient, and we wouldn’t mind if its driving behavior was sharper, there's no denying that it exceeds its mission of moving people and their stuff better than anything in its class.

The Telluride has few compromises and outshines its mid-size SUV competitors in all the important categories. Credit Kia's ability to deliver an upscale experience and popular features at a bargain price for its largest model's success-earning a spot on this year's 10Best list as well as an Editors' Choice award.

The 2021 Kia Telluride is a terrific three-row crossover because it's great for shuttling families and looks more expensive than it is.
