Reviews Summary

Porsche is synonymous with performance. From the automaker’s inception and first production model, the 1948 Porsche 356, it has built vehicles that are fun to drive and engineered with German precision and excellence. Well, mostly. There have been some duds along the way. But that doesn’t apply to the Macan, a compact SUV that is Porsche’s best-selling model. As it should, the 2022 Porsche Macan drives more like a sports car than a sport/utility, and it receives several updates to keep it fresh as Porsche prepares an electric replacement for the popular SUV.

Reviews Summary

The second-generation 2027 Kia Telluride has big shoes to fill and seems to be easily up to the task. With ample power, an efficient hybrid model, and a clever design, it could very well be a class leader among very competitive rivals. There are also luxurious and terrain-capable variants, giving the Telluride even broader appeal than before.

Canadian shoppers should note that full details, availability, and pricing for the 2027 Kia Telluride were not available at the time of writing. The Telluride is assembled in Georgia, and its launch in Canada had been delayed due to the ongoing tariff situation with the United States. This review is based on a test drive of a U.S.-specification model.

Verdict: If the first-generation Telluride set the bar for value and family-friendly practicality, the second generation raises it. The latest Telluride adds a compelling hybrid option and a more upscale feel.
