“Alright, How you doing? My name is Darren Burns. I’m driving in the 2020 Kia Telluride right now. It has 291 horsepower with a 5,000 towing capacity as well. With 282 torque engine too, so it’s a lot of power there. It’s real comfortable. Right now I’m a little bit hot so I’m going to turn on my nice ventilated seats which is going to keep me nice and cool. So I don’t have to go back to work sweaty or anything like that. Sitting in this car, you don’t really hear much of the outside noise or anything like that. It’s more so just a nice vibe to drive to. It’s real convenient. Definitely doesn’t feel like I’m in an overpowering SUV, but it does still feel like I’m in a real comfortable and safe in this Telluride.

Taking long trips with the family and it’s a full loaded family, you have your 8 seats so since you do have those 8 seats, that’s a lot of people in the car who are going to need their own phone, their own charger port. With this Kia model it comes with 7 charging ports. You have 2 in the front, one in your arm rest right here, you have two in the driver seat and also the passenger seat and in the third row there’s also two by the windows so one on each side. So everybody has their own and they don’t have to argue or fight over anything. That makes it real convenient for trips so your kids don’t argue over who can charge their phone first or anything like that. Everybody has their own.

And also another feature that’s real beneficial is the Dual A/C. Let’s say I like my side cooler or hot – I can control my side and my side only if I wanted to. The passengers in the back as well can control their A/C back there as well so it can be more convenient for them as well. One feature that’s really beneficial is that in the 3rd row it may be a little tough to hear – like maybe we’re on the highway or maybe it’s raining and you can’t really hear what I’m saying up here for the passengers to hear me, Kia makes it really easy so that all I have to do is go on the screen and push driver talk and once that’s accessed there is a little microphone right here that picks up my voice and enhances it back there so that the passengers back there can hear me easily. Sounds like I’m on a plane. So, that just makes it really nice.

Also, too what’s really beneficial if you would like to listen to your music just up here and everyone else is sleeping, it’s like 4 o’clock in the morning, you guys are on your way to Orlando or something like that. Your passengers back there sleeping, you can literally just play your music only up here and it will stay up there so that everybody back there can just stay quiet. You also have your shades back there in the second row too, so if there’s too much of a glare or something, you just pull the shades up and then they can just block the sun off of them temporary instead of having those tints all the time.

It’s a luxury car but it is also a really comfortable car too because you also have all of your different drive modes. So depending on what area I’m in It shows what driving mode I want to be in. So if I’m stuck in a lot of traffic, or if I’m like I’m constantly stopping, I would put it in ECO Mode. So when I put it on ECO Mode, basically what that does is that adjusts the car so that it helps you save a lot of gas. It just makes things real beneficial for yourself, makes your trip easier so you don’t have to spend as much gas, but if I was late and I’m not going to put it in Sports mode now because it will take off. But if I was late for a meeting or something, there’s a sports mode to this engine where I can just turn it into sports mode and the a lot of the power is directed towards the back of the car. The back tires, so it gives it a lot of extra torque. It’s beneficial, it’s a nice car. Nice SUV, it’s real nice and clean and I love how they make it. It doesn’t feel like I’m being cramped or anything. Or it’s overwhelmingly big. It’s real convenient, it’s real smooth on drive.

And also say we’re coming to a complete stop sometimes. If I wanted my engine to turn on and off, I could do that. So whenever I come to a complete stop and press the brakes, if the car is in ECO mode the engine is going to turn right off and as soon as I take my foot off the brakes it’s going to turn right back on as if I didn’t miss a beat. Just to save you a couple dollars off of gas.
