Introduction
One of the newest SUVs Kia launched in 2020 is the Telluride, Kia’s first SUV with an optional self-level rear suspension that adjusts depending on vehicle load to optimize control and stability.
Still, in its first generation of production, the Kia Telluride was already upgraded and updated in 2023, so only a few changes are expected for the 2025 unveiling.
With that unveiling countdown timer set, we want to give you an exclusive first look at what you can expect once the 2025 model debuts sometime this fall. Read on for a sneak peak.
Key Takeaways

- Kia is set to unveil the 2025 Telluride sometime this fall.
- The 2025 Kia Telluride is expected to include a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, a large dashboard display, and other features such as SiriusXM, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
- We anticipate the 2025 Kia Telluride trims will have the 3.8L V6, the same as previous model years.
Is Kia redesigning the Telluride for 2025?

Kia has not yet unveiled the 2025 Kia Telluride. Still, we do not expect significant changes or a redesign since this model is a brand-new Kia vehicle that they debuted in 2020 and just received a design upgrade for the 2023 model year.
What can you expect from the 2025 Kia Telluride lineup?

The 2024 Kia Telluride model lineup included ten trims. So far, there are no expectations that Kia will alter this lineup that previously included the LX, S, EX, SX, EX S-Line, SX X-Line, SX X-Pro, SX Prestige, SX Prestige X-Line and the SX Prestige X-Pro.
We expect similar exterior paint colors and features, such as the KIA Drive Wise technologies, a suite of driver-assist and safety alarms, warnings, and alerts designed to help increase driver focus.
The Telluride already includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen display with navigation capability in every trim and a large instrument display. We expect SiriusXM, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto to all be included as they have been in previous model years, as well as remote start and Kia Connect, which integrates smart devices’ content with your Kia so you can seamlessly take content from one device to your Telluride.
We expect every trim to have a powerful 3.8L V6, the same as previous model years, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and selectable drive modes.
How many miles per gallon does a 2025 Kia Telluride get?
Although the newest Telluride has not been officially released yet, based on the 2024 Telluride fuel economy ratings, we estimate that the FWD trims get a combined 22 MPG city and highway while the AWD trims get an estimated 20 MPG city and highway.
