And, yes, Kia already has a minivan....the Sedona.

It looks like a minivan to me man. Are you sure?

It's named after a well known 4x4 town which is a damn shame because it looks like it would struggle going over a curb at the mall parking lot... The only vehicles you see in Telluride are Jeeps and Toyota trucks.

Sorento is a half size smaller than the likes of the Pilot, Ascent, Atlas, CX-9, Explorer, etc. Telluride sizes up more directly in line with traditional 3-row crossovers. Expect Highlander, also currently on the smaller end of the 3-row spectrum, to grow with its next redesign.
