New 2021 KIA Telluride Turbo Rumors
New 2021 KIA Telluride Turbo Rumors – KIA Telluride is now rolling from the assembly line and to many dealers, where it is expected to sell in droves. With an affordable starting price of only $32,735 with a goal, we expect Telluride to attract buyers from all corners of the automotive industry.
While attending a launch event for Telluride, KIA told us one month the SUV was already selling exceeded expectations. In the first month of sales, Telluride has already outsold Dodge Durango, Mazda CX-9, Volkswagen Atlas, and Nissan Pathfinder. So where are all these sales coming from? Well, KIA has good news about what kind of vehicle people are traded in for Telluride.
New 2021 KIA Telluride Turbo Rumors
KIA said it has received Trade-in from the expected range of mid-size SUV rivals but also saw people trading in luxury vehicles from Land Rover and Audi, which speaks to the lavish nature of Telluride.
Korean cars have also received emails from owners of American SUVs such as Chevy Traverse and even trucks like Silverado, expressing their intention to trade into a Telluride. This is a big leap for KIA, brands are often overlooked by buyers who only buy Americans. Since Telluride was built in the US KIA plant in Georgia, it was actually more American than most believers.
While KIA enjoys seeing luxury buyer trades in their vehicles for Telluride, we think brands could offer one option to attract buyers of premium brands. After driving Telluride in altitude around Colorado, we thought it could benefit from more power.
2021 KIA Telluride Turbo Horsepower
The only machine available today is the 3.8 liter V6 producing 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft torque. We requested a KIA product planner if the 3.3-liter Twin-Turbo V6 from Stinger and K900 could make an appearance in Telluride and we were told: “It was discussed. “
In Stinger and several models of Genesis, the Twin-Turbo V6 produces 365 HP, which is a healthy lump above the natural model of aspiration. Of course, all cars using this engine have a Rear-wheel-drive layout, so KIA will likely develop different transmissions for use in Telluride.
While KIA will not commit to the inclusion of the Turbo engine, we are told we “may see it in the future” if there is a request. So if you want to see Telluride get more power, be sure to tell your local dealer that you will spend more to get a turbocharged engine.
