In family-friendly SUVs, the Kia Telluride and the Toyota Highlander stand as equals. Both models offer customizable features to align with your lifestyle and adapt to evolving needs. While each model excels in its unique way, a closer look reveals that one of these SUVs possesses the prowess to satisfy every passenger on board.³

The Kia Telluride leaves a lasting first impression with its chiseled, geometric physique, complemented by an uncommon color palette and an iconic front-end design. Underneath the surface, the Telluride roars to life with its 274-horsepower, 2.5L turbo engine. While drawing attention may not be for everyone, going bold with the Kia Telluride is as easy as breathing.

Never Meant to Blend In

In a world increasingly defined by grayscale tones and familiar shapes, the Kia Telluride offers a different path. Bursting onto the streets with expertly chiseled contours and sharp, geometric edges, the Telluride is a diamond in the rough.

Unafraid to show its true colors, uncommon hues like Terrain Brown, Midnight Lake Blue, and Black Jade Green add much-needed color to an otherwise unimaginative landscape. The fiery amber of the vertical LED daytime running lamps mesmerizes onlookers, while LED projector-style headlights slice through the darkness with ease.

Completing its instantly iconic look, the Kia Telluride features a flat-nosed mesh grille and flush door handles that complement its individualistic personality. For those who desperately want to break free from the SUV mold, the Kia Telluride will ensure you stand out.

Power up Your Way

Sticking with its philosophy of pushing boundaries, the Kia Telluride delivers a unique approach to performance. Choose between the traditional gas-powered engine or the Turbo Hybrid configuration, which increases efficiency without compromising on performance. No matter which configuration you choose, you’re in for an exciting ride.

A standard Drive Mode Select system allows you to adjust how the Telluride performs based on your mood. Sport mode enhances throttle responses for a stiffer, more spirited drive, while Eco mode optimizes fuel efficiency to help extend the time between gas station trips. Feeling bold? My Drive allows you to create a custom driving mode for a truly tailored driving experience.

Drivers looking for a versatile SUV that delivers spa-like serenity and powerhouse performance will find a match in the Kia Telluride. With up to 5,000 pounds of towing potential, available all-wheel drive, and a bevy of upscale comforts like heated and ventilated first- and second-row seats, all adventures will be complemented with premium comfort and precision.

See & Do More

There’s a great big world sitting just beyond your front door. With the Kia Telluride, you can explore it all confidently. Available All-Wheel Drive (AWD) enhances traction on low-friction surfaces, such as dirt trails or rocky inclines. Added confidence comes with Terrain Modes (exclusive to AWD models), which add three selectable modes: Snow, Mud, and Sand. When selected, each mode adjusts traction, allowing the Telluride to thrive in nearly any conditions.

Additional available all-terrain features you’ll love include:

 
• Ground View Monitor
• Off-Road Display
• 5,000-pound maximum towing capacity
• Recovery hooks
 

Select trim levels also include an Electronic Limited Slip Differential and an off-road suspension to enhance ride stability and smoothness, even on bumpy roads.

Ruggedly Upscale

The Kia Telluride may be capable of conquering the most challenging conditions with a smile, but that grit never comes at the expense of your comfort. The Telluride’s cabin is full of premium, upscale touches that ensure your relaxation from Point A to Point B, even if the destination is a remote trailhead that marks the start of a 10-mile uphill hike.

Some noteworthy features that are standard or available include:

 
• Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control
• Heated & ventilated first-/second-row seats
• Solar Control & Sound-Absorbing Glass
• Multicolor ambient mood lighting
 

When optionally equipped, the Telluride features an Ergo Motion driver’s seat with air pockets that gently inflate and deflate. This simulated walking motion helps keep muscles active and relaxed, preventing driving fatigue.

The Kia Telluride equips modern infotainment features, like wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration and a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and up to 29 intuitive driver-assistance features, to ensure you are protected and connected mile after mile.

Features You Can’t Live Without

Constant access to technology is a must. That’s why the Kia Telluride features many popular connectivity features, including wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. With your smartphone connected, you can respond to text messages using voice-to-text, navigate to locations you frequent, and launch compatible apps without ever touching your device.

Yet, wireless integration is just the start of the essential features found standard or available with the Telluride:

• Dual wireless phone chargers
• Blind-Spot View Monitor
• Wi-Fi® Hotspot
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2 with Junction Turning

From helping you stay connected and entertained to ensuring your safe arrival, the Kia Telluride offers 29 available driver assistance and collision prevention features.

Always Looking to the Future

Unfortunately, there’s no way to see into the future. Therefore, we must always expect the unexpected. The Kia Telluride reflects this mindset with its just-in-case features, like the available Digital Key 2.0. Turn your smartphone into a virtual key fob to lock, unlock, and start your Telluride, fully eliminating the burden of locating misplaced keys on a particularly busy morning.

The Telluride is also equipped with over-the-air update (OTA) compatibility. This allows the manufacturer to push out necessary security and software updates without needing to visit our dealership. There may be changes to the family, too.

Expanding families, adopting a senior pup, and out-of-town family visits all require extra cabin space. With seating for up to eight riders and 180.6 cubic feet of interior volume, there’s always room for the people and things in your life, both in the present and years from now.
