I've been driving the Kia K900 for the past year, and really can't fault it, Kia have really lifted their standard a crazy amount.
As far as I can tell the interior seems similar in the Telluride in a lot of aspects. Build quality is really up there too, I'd say better than Mercedes are making currently with their squeaky plastics in the E-class.
But you can't compare handing and feel to BMW, Kia I'd say is a mix or sports and comfort something along the lines of what Audi are putting out.
Taking the price into the equation $31,000 for the Kia vs $60,000 for the BMW, the Kia is a bargain! You won't be getting anything that size with that build quality anywhere else really.
If you're looking for a mid price range SUV and don't care much for sporty handling and feel then I'd say go for it! I'm still impressed by the K900 and have no idea where they cut the costs.
