Niro EV vs Telluride Test Drive | All Star Kia San Bernardino

Listen to this article

From the I-215 Commute to a Mountain Getaway

One recent customer, a nurse from Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, was torn. Daily drives demanded efficiency, but family weekends required space. She test-drove the Niro EV first, loving the silent, zippy acceleration in stop-and-go traffic. Then, she took the Telluride for a spin, imagining her kids in the back on the way to Big Bear. The feel of the vehicle on the road—stable, powerful, and quiet—is something you can't get from a website. It’s a personal discovery we specialize in delivering.

What Your 92408 Neighbors Are Choosing

Driving around the Verdemont neighborhood, you'll see a pattern. For growing families, the Kia Telluride is the undeniable champion, offering three rows of comfort and capability for those big shopping trips to Stater Bros. or packing up for a soccer tournament. In contrast, those with a daily commute downtown or to the university increasingly choose the Kia Niro EV. Its incredible efficiency and compact agility make navigating city streets and tight parking a breeze, saving a fortune on gas.
