    Kia Telluride models
    The 2020 Kia Telluride is a midsize SUV with seating for seven or eight passengers. Under the hood is a 3.8-liter V6 (291 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque) that is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available as an option. There are four trim levels: LX, S, EX, and SX.
    Kia Telluride SX
    At the top of the list is the SX trim. This Telluride has all of the above plus LED headlights and foglights, dual sunroofs, front parking sensors, an upgraded driver information display, interior ambient lighting, driver-seat memory functions, the second-row captain's chairs, a surround-view parking camera system, and a 10-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound system. It also receives a blind-spot camera system, automatic high beams and a low-level automated highway driving system.
    Kia Telluride SX
    An optional 5,000-pound towing capacity tow package with a self-leveling suspension is available for EX and SX trims. The SX with AWD is eligible for the Prestige package, which brings premium leather, a head-up display, heated and ventilated second-row seats, automatic wipers, a household power outlet, and a heated steering wheel.

      I have to say since your video they have come out with a lift for the vehicle I just installed the 2" lift on mine and 2.25 in the rear because it has the toe package I am located in the States. I also have 2 sets of tires 1st set toyo at3 and 2nd set Hakkapleliitta R3 SUV.
      Both sets are factory size when we had snow of course it is not like we're at the vehicle did incredible looking forward to having more fun and now that it has the lift and I have these dedicated tires good video.

    I own a Kia Sorento, built on the same plaform and with the with the same AWD system as the Telluride. Living in the (US) Pacific Northwest on an island in the Puget Sound, we typically get occasional winter snows but unless we take trips to the Cascades winter tires are almost never required. Last winter, though, we were hit by the heaviest snow in 40 years. Nearly a foot of snow on my very long (thousand ft) ) steep driveway with a 90 degree curve near the top. My neighbors left their SUV's on the road at the bottom of our hill. My Sorento with All Season tires and the same 50/50 front/rear locking feature as the Telluride climbed and descended the driveway with no problems, whatsoever. True winter tires would have made it even easier, of course, but I was blown away by the Sorento's performance.
    Would I take my Sorento to truly challenging, snow covered off-road environments? No. If my winter driving was typically challenging would I add winter tires? Of course. But my experience suggests the AWD system shared by the Sorento and the Telluride is an impressive feature even without the additional capabilities provided by winter tires.

      Stephen Hendricks I’m not positive but when watching diagonal tests of AWD of sorento and Telluride, it appears the Sorento’s is way better as it’s Dynamax and not in house like Telluride’s but again, not positive.

    I live in Upstate NY where the snow is plentiful especially in Jan and Feb. We’ve recently had a few snowstorms (today there was). I find with the factory tires if just in Snow mode this thing slides at lights even when approaching slowly. It’s way worse than my Toyota minivans ever were. I have to downshift to stop completely without sliding. That was without the 4 wheel lock on. I’ve never had that feature although I occasionally drive my husband’s 4 Runner and Jeep Cherokee which does so I’m familiar with it. I put on the lock today going home from work as there were many inches of accumulation. It definitely helped but I still feel like I have to drive more slowly than I did in my van. I guess I need to get used to it. It’s a lease so I don’t think I’ll be getting snow tires. I normally LOVE this vehicle, but I wouldn’t rate it’s snow performance the best ever.

    Looks amazing but totally worthless as an AWD or 4x4. This doesn't even have 4 low gearing...or downhill decent assist so you are dead coming down a steep hill on ice and snow... so don't think about driving this to ski resort in a real storm. Believe me I live on a mountain peak and 4 low has saved my life endless times. At least the palisade, pathfinder, forerunner, Taureg, etc. have either low gearing or downhill decent assist control. But most people see AWD and think they are good to go... but they are clueless. This is a beautiful vehicle though if you are just looking for a city street SUV that looks cool and runs well...
