Buy Your Best 2020 Kia Telluride (Top Model vs. Base Model)

Large families have more options than ever for vehicles that can get everyone from one place to another. The three-row SUVs are some of the most popular SUVs today. Good choices are those that can strike the right balance between mobility and interior space. The latest technology, security, and convenience features are also an advantage.

A good option on the market for this type of vehicle is the 2020 Kia Telluride. This SUV is brand new, but it’s already well known. It can accommodate seven or eight people and appears in the book as Kia’s most considerable SUV product.

Buyers interested in this vehicle will have to explore four different trim levels. Choosing the correct model is essential, as the entry-level trim and top trim are separated for various reasons. Some people find it more than enough for Base LX, while others need to get the Top SX to see the features they need.

The most important factor when choosing a model is to know the difference between the trim levels. Kia dealership Houston explains them to make the process easier for its buyers.
