Telluride looks great next to the BMW X7

Kia's designs are spectacular. Peter Schreyer (their top designer) is fantastic. Kia really won big when they hired him way from Audi.

I like everything about the Tellurides exterior design. My only dislike I hope will be addressed in future model years is the poorman's Escalade looking front end. They did well with the Stinger but dropped the ball here.

It doesn't look quite as good as the concept, but I still like it.

I would totally disagree with you. The front end is what actually makes the Telluride a Telluride. That is the 'wow' factor of the car. Where they dropped the ball is actually the rear of the Telluride. Those lights have just got to go. They are hideous.

Just look at the Palisade and it looks good from every angle.. I have not seen anything ugly on the Telluride.....of course looks are subjective and different for everyone.

I agree about the Telluride, it is a handsome vehicle from every angle. The tall Taillights accent the tall beltline, which I believe was intentional. I do like the Palisade as well but not the hood / front fascia. The hood follows the Hyundai smashed frog element throughout the line. Much like the Lincoln Whale gills ( or whatever they are) the hood detracts from all around it.
