Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Buying the 2021 Kia Telluride SX is a big decision; here is the information we have.

What to check on the Telluride

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

What the figures tell you

Its 3.8L 6-cylinder drives through an 8-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

It is rated at 10.4 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 31 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $48.36 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who rents the Telluride

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Space, size and seats

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy. EPA lists 595 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

A longer test drive

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Try the Telluride on your commute, then decide. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Which one to look for

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

What it costs to run

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $161.20 at our price setting.
