2025 Kia Telluride

The Telluride is available in LX, S, EX, SX, SX Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro variants. The LX starts with a sleek yet bold profile, 20-inch wheels, and LED headlamps, instantly projecting strength. The S adds sportier accents and upgraded wheel designs for extra flair. EX brings roof rails, premium lighting, and dual sunroofs for fresh-air flexibility. SX and SX Prestige elevate luxury with gloss-black exterior trim, richer graphics, and exclusive seating materials. X-Line introduces torque-vectoring AWD, rugged all-terrain tires, gloss-black badges, and a self-leveling rear suspension. Finally, the X-Pro stands ready for adventure with skid plates, a higher tow rating, and all-terrain tires designed for the trail.

Every 2025 Telluride is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine delivering 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is available on most trims. The powertrain offers smooth acceleration, confident merging, and robust highway cruising.

With capable engine performance and available AWD, the Telluride handles a variety of road conditions with composure. Towing capacity reaches up to 5,500 pounds when properly equipped. Ride quality remains comfortable even when fully loaded, and X-Pro trims enhance off-road potential with hill descent control and increased ground clearance. Handling is responsive, with suspension tuning that absorbs bumps without feeling disconnected.

Inside, the Telluride delivers a premium experience with room to spare. Depending on configuration, it offers seating for seven or eight passengers with second-row captain’s chairs or a bench seat. Cabin materials are upscale, with available leather trim, ventilated and heated front and second-row seats, and dual sunroofs. Technology includes dual 12.3-inch displays for digital gauges and infotainment, wireless smartphone integration, and an available premium audio system. Cargo capacity is generous, with up to 87 cubic feet of space behind the front row when the seats are folded flat.

Safety comes standard with a comprehensive suite of driver-assist features. All models include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane keeping assist, and smart cruise control with stop-and-go. Higher trims offer Highway Driving Assist 2, a surround-view monitor, and blind spot view monitor, providing enhanced awareness for both highway driving and tight parking maneuvers.
