What is Under the Hood of the 2025 Kia Telluride?

The Telluride’s max towing capacity is between 5000 and 5500 pounds A tow hitch and trailer wiring harness are available accessories. This SUV also features available self-leveling rear air suspension and up to 8.4 inches of ground clearance, which gives you a clearer view of the trail ahead.

While bold on the outside, inside the Telluride is all about comfort and elegance, particularly in the top trims. The top trim (SX) knocks it out of the ballpark in terms of luxurious touches such as driver's seat memory settings, heated and ventilated rear seats, nappa leather upholstery and a head-up display.
Unlike the Sorrento, the cabin remains spacious for adults in the back row. Eight occupants can ride comfortably with a second-row bench seat—that number drops down to seven with optional captain’s chairs. There’s also plenty of interior storage throughout the cabin, particularly behind the third row when both seats are folded down.
The Telluride’s infotainment system features a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, onboard Wi-Fi and in-dash navigation. Options include a Harman/Kardon 10-speaker audio system, a 110-volt power inverter, wireless phone charging, and Driver Talk which allows the driver’s voice to be amplified to the back of the cab.
