The Kia Telluride launched in 2020 to critical acclaim and immediately set a new standard for midsize three-row SUVs. The Telluride boasts spacious and refined accommodations, abundant practicality, and a ruggedly handsome aesthetic with plenty of curb appeal. It's also generously equipped with experience-enhancing amenities and cutting-edge technology. The Telluride has only improved since its debut, raising the bar with each subsequent model year.
The Telluride is such a compelling vehicle that it earned a spot on Car and Driver's "10Best" list for four consecutive years (2020 – 2023). And shoppers from Levittown to South Brunswick Township can find it for sale or lease at Ciocca Kia. Here's a look at a few reasons why customers and critics love the Kia Telluride.
Accommodations and Utility
The Kia Telluride's cabin is classy and capacious, with attractive design details, ergonomic seats, and ample passenger space. Numerous amenities are offered to enhance comfort and convenience, including standard equipment like Smart Key entry, tri-zone automatic climate control, SynTex upholstery, and a Driver Talk intercom system. Available features include heated and ventilated first and second-row seats, driver position memory, leather upholstery, dual sunroofs, and a hands-free liftgate.
The third row folds easily to expand the cargo area from 21 to 46 cubic feet. For Ewing errands requiring maximum carrying capacity, you can fold all rear seats to access 87 cubic feet.
Powertrain and Capability
Under the hood, a 3.8-liter V-6 makes 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, enabling a max tow rating of 5,000 pounds. Power runs to the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The available all-wheel-drive system includes Snow Mode for enhanced all-season handling and control.
For adventures that take you beyond the asphalt, the X-Pro package augments the Telluride's rugged character with specialized terrain-roaming features. Available for SX and SX Prestige trims, this equipment group adds all-wheel drive with a center-locking differential, Continental all-terrain tires, tow hooks, protective body cladding, and raised ground clearance. It also adds a self-leveling suspension system and heavy-duty engine cooling, increasing the Telluride's tow rating to 5,500 pounds.
Technology
The 2024 Kia Telluride comes standard with a 12.3-inch high-res touchscreen with advanced navigation. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide seamless smartphone integration, and all three rows have USB charge ports. Higher trims add more screen real estate, including a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 10-inch head-up display. However, no matter what trim you choose for your family's travels, you'll enjoy the confidence and convenience of Kia Drive Wise.
