While Toyota continues to be America’s undisputed hybrid vehicle sales leader, Kia has also been capitalizing on the hybrid boom. The Korean carmaker keeps setting U.S. sales records courtesy of its growing hybrid lineup, which now also includes the flagship Telluride. After spending a week with it, I'm convinced this is the best Telluride yet.
It's smoother, quicker, and more efficient than the first-gen model. With the engine now paired with a small battery and a pair of electric motors, the Telluride Hybrid makes more horsepower and torque while burning far less fuel. It's also bigger inside and out, with a sharper, boxier design that suits it well. As three-row hybrid SUVs go, the Telluride is about as good as they get.
