Video review: 2020 Kia Telluride in the UAE
The all-new Kia Telluride is the long-awaited replacement for the Mohave, and it appears to be almost as good as everyone hoped it would be.
The all-new Kia Telluride is the long-awaited replacement for the Mohave, and it appears to be almost as good as everyone hoped it would be.
Kia is no stranger in the full-size SUV 7-seater market, having already had the Mohave in their lineup for the past decade. However, despite being forcefully kept on life-support, the Mohave never really caught on with the general public as their other more-modern models have. Hoping to change that, Kia has now introduced an all-new model, the Telluride. We were invited to a media launch event in Dubai to try it out on a pre-determined route.
We have seen this before. Kia, at the New York Fashion Week last year, introduced their largest SUV, the Telluride followed by a few concepts at SEMA later. But these machines were completely tricked out. Here is the unmodified version of the Korean SUV in all its original glory.
The awkward-looking 2020 Kia Telluride full-size SUV made its public debut, surprisingly, at the New York Fashion Week. Looking somewhat close to the Telluride concept Kia brought out two years ago, the model is a bespoke example, fitted with off-road amenities.
Kia’s plans to introduce an SUV that replaces the aging Mohave were revealed a couple of years ago when they uncovered the Telluride concept in 2016. Now the news from the Korean manufacturer hints at a production version called the Kia Telluride that will soon hit the production line.
