2025 Kia Telluride

The 2025 Kia Telluride commands attention with its refined exterior design. Its bold front fascia, wide stance, and intricate details highlight its presence on the road. Within 10 distinct trim levels, each model showcases unique styling elements tailored to different preferences, all unified by the signature tiger-nose grille and LED projector headlamps - like lighthouses in the harbor. The lower trims prioritize sleek lines and practical elegance, while the upper trims introduce chrome accents, blacked-out finishes, and exclusive badging for a heightened sense of luxury. For adventure seekers looking to discover more of untamed Maryland, the X-Line and X-Pro trims make a statement with 20-inch gloss black alloy wheels, all-terrain tires, high-utility roof rails, and exclusive nature-inspired color options that emphasize their off-road capabilities. At the pinnacle of the lineup, the SX Prestige X-Pro masterfully blends ruggedness with luxury, featuring premium materials, enhanced approach and departure angles, and distinctive design cues that promise a sophisticated yet thrilling driving experience along the coast.

Powering every Telluride is a 3.8-L V6 engine delivering 291 hp and 262 lbs.-ft. of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that delivers smooth shifts and strong acceleration. Front-wheel drive comes standard, while available all-wheel drive enhances traction for the unpredictable east coast conditions. This engine setup balances potent performance with efficiency, making it as reliable as it is modern.

Designed for versatility, the Telluride features torque-vectoring all-wheel drive with selectable drive modes, optimizing traction for Maryland’s ever-changing weather and diverse terrains. Snow, Mud, and Sand modes ensure confident handling in any condition. The X-Pro trim elevates utility with a 5,500-lb. towing capacity and heavy-duty engine cooling, making it ideal for both adventure and work. Equipped with an electronically controlled transfer case and self-leveling rear suspension, the Telluride seamlessly adapts to varying road conditions, delivering a smooth, comfortable ride—even when carrying heavy loads. Its generous ground clearance and impressive approach and departure angles highlight its off-road readiness. For those craving a more dynamic experience, Sport Mode sharpens handling and throttle response, turning every drive into an engaging journey.

Inside, the Telluride provides roomy, well-appointed accommodations for up to 8 passengers. Select trims offer second-row captain’s chairs for added comfort and easier third-row access. High-quality materials and soft-touch surfaces, like SynTex and Nappa leather (on higher trims), create a welcoming atmosphere. At the center is an available 12.3-inch dual panoramic display that supports Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, keeping you connected on the go. Dual-zone auto climate control allows personalized comfort, and available heated and ventilated seats add a touch of luxury even in the second row. Cargo space is generous, offering 21 cu. ft. behind the third row and expanding to 87 cu. ft. with seats folded flat for all the beach gear you could need to fit. Available features like a hands-free power liftgate, Harman Kardon® premium audio system, and wireless charging make everyday use seamless and convenient.

Safety is at the heart of the 2025 Kia Telluride, equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies designed to protect every passenger. Kia’s Drive Wise safety package provides confidence on the road with advanced features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Junction Turning and Lane Keeping Assist. The available 360° Surround View Monitor offers a complete perspective of the vehicle's surroundings, while the Blind-Spot View Monitor projects live video feeds of rear blind spots directly onto the dashboard gauge cluster for enhanced awareness. For added convenience, the 10-inch Head-Up Display presents crucial driving information—such as speed and turn-by-turn navigation—directly onto the windshield, keeping your eyes on the road. No matter the journey, the Telluride is engineered to keep your family safe and secure.
