2025 Kia Telluride

The 2025 Telluride is offered in various trims, each showcasing a distinct level of refinement and ruggedness. From the base LX trim with 18-inch wheels to the adventurous X-Pro, each version has been carefully crafted to embody durability and style. The X-Line and X-Pro trims enhance Telluride’s off-road prowess with increased ground clearance, exclusive gloss black accents, and black badging, emphasizing a more assertive presence. Signature LED projector headlights and LED taillights come standard, delivering enhanced visibility and a sophisticated appearance that sets the Telluride apart.

Under the hood, the Telluride is powered by a robust 3.8-liter V6 engine that generates an impressive 291 horsepower, coupled with 262 lb-ft of torque. This engine offers ample strength, enabling the Telluride to tow up to 5,000 pounds in standard trims and up to 5,500 pounds in the X-Pro variant. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain ensures smooth acceleration and responsive handling across diverse terrains. Whether cruising on the highway or navigating rugged landscapes, the Telluride’s engine delivers consistent, dependable performance with enough torque for all adventures.

The 2025 Telluride’s performance capabilities are tailored for both refined road handling and off-road exploration. The available all-wheel-drive (AWD) system with a center-locking differential ensures optimal traction on varying surfaces, distributing power seamlessly between the front and rear axles. The X-Line and X-Pro trims further enhance this capability with a self-leveling rear suspension and tow mode, providing stability when hauling or tackling steep inclines. With impressive approach and departure angles and up to 8.4 inches of ground clearance, the Telluride handles challenging terrains with ease, embodying the versatility required for both urban commuting and weekend getaways.

Step inside the Telluride, and a spacious, meticulously designed cabin awaits, offering seating for up to eight passengers with an option for second-row captain’s chairs in select trims. Premium materials envelop every inch, from available Nappa leather seats to SynTex suede headliners, enhancing the interior’s opulence. The available dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays create a striking visual centerpiece, providing seamless access to navigation, media, and smartphone integration. Quiet zone technology limits speaker output to the front seats, fostering a peaceful environment. The cabin is further equipped with heated and ventilated front seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and an available Harman Kardon® audio system, making the Telluride a sanctuary on wheels.

In the 2025 Telluride, safety is paramount. Standard Auto Emergency Braking with pedestrian, cyclist, and intersection detection leverages sensors to monitor the road ahead, reducing collision risks. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance technologies deliver support when changing lanes or reversing. Enhanced systems, including the 360° Surround View Monitor and Blind-Spot View Monitor, offer a comprehensive view of the vehicle's surroundings, providing confidence during parking and lane changes. The advanced Highway Driving Assist 2 combines adaptive cruise control with lane-centering, adjusting to road conditions and speed limits in real-time. With nine strategically placed airbags and an array of assistive features, the Telluride redefines safety in the SUV segment.
