Talk:Kia Telluride

Concept infobox

Now that the production model is imminent, I don't think we need a second infobox for the concept version anymore. We can work that information into a Concept section. --Vossanova ^o< 20:32, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Size class

See Talk:Hyundai Palisade for a discussion on whether the related Palisade is mid-size or full-size, and SUV or crossover. I haven't done an extensive search on Kia Telluride yet, but I will presume it will return mostly mid-size SUV like the Palisade. --Vossanova ^o< 19:28, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Telluride is a CUV because, it is around the size of some and sources say so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.163.155.150 (talk) 01:14, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving it as a mid-size crossover SUV. Strange that more sources call the Telluride a crossover than the Palisade. --Vossanova ^o< 15:03, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The general consesus in the WikiProject Automobile is that a true SUV should be based on a truck chassis (body-on-frame) and presumably rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. SUVs like the Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Sequoia, Nissan Xterra, Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Bronco etc is considered a true SUV. A crossover SUV could be FWD, RWD or AWD, and based on a car (monocoque) chassis or platform.Andra Febrian (talk) 14:54, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Andra Febrian: I'm not a fan of the Wikipedian definition that anything not based on a truck or not body-on-frame is a crossover. It makes about 90% of current autos with an SUV body style a crossover, while reliable sources would put the percentage lower. It also creates a community of "SUV purists" who insist on changing car classification without changing or adding reliable sources (case in point). Then, what about, say, Ford Explorer, which is currently called a crossover, but is on a platform shared only by the Lincoln Aviator? My preference is to go by the majority of reliable sources, and in fact I already made this point in Wikipedia Automobiles here. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying why I don't like it. --Vossanova ^o< 18:30, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
