Does Kia make a 6-cylinder SUV?

I’m a huge Kia fan, and I’ve owned a few over the past couple of years. However, I’m going to be a mother pretty soon, so I want to upgrade to an SUV. I just don’t want to lose the fun of driving. Do any Kia SUVs come with a 6-cylinder engine?

You’re 100% in luck! Kia makes one—and possibly two—6-cylinder SUVs, depending on who you ask. The
Kia Telluride
is definitely an SUV, but the
Carnival MPV
(multi-purpose vehicle) lies somewhere between SUV and minivan. Kia swears it’s not a minivan, while others say it’s cleverly disguised. Either way, it has a 6-cylinder engine as well.
The Kia Telluride comes with a 3.8-liter V6 engine that makes 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. This translates to a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, a 0-60 mph of 7.2 seconds, and a top speed of 132 mph.
The Kia Carnival has a 3.5-liter V6 engine that pushes 290 ponies and 262 pound-feet of torque. This gives it a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, a 0-60 of 7.2 seconds, and a speedometer max out at 118 mph.
Regardless of whether you bring home the slick-looking Telluride or the utilitarian Carnival MPV, keep your
