Inside, the Telluride has a clean look with either an 8.0- or 10.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment that protrudes from the low dashboard. Fuel economy is average at 21 mpg with the optional all-wheel-drive system. The Telluride’s best attribute might be its supple suspension, even with the optional 20-inch wheels. The Telluride’s V-6 provides good but not ample power and works well with the 8-speed automatic transmission. Base models wear 18-inch wheels while higher-trim versions ride on 20-inch wheels that fill the large wheel wells. An upright grille flanked by tall headlights that flaunt LED halo running lights in most trim levels gives it a mini-Suburban look that’s emphasized by a more squared-off look from the side than its rounded competitors. The Telluride’s 197-inch length means it’ll fill more garage space that competitors such as the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, but it’s not as big as a Toyota Sequoia or Chevy Tahoe. The two differ primarily in styling and feature availability. The Telluride shares its underpinnings and 291-horsepower 3.8-liter V-6 teamed to an 8-speed automatic transmission with the Hyundai Palisade. We like it so much that we named it our Best Car To Buy 2020. We rate the 2020 Telluride at 7.5 out of 10 points for its value and overall composure. Base versions cost about $33,000, while fully loaded versions cost about $45,000.
