Kia’s affordable and reliable crossovers are a big part of the automaker’s popularity and overall reputation, and no crossover shines more than the 2024 Kia Telluride. Of its ten trims, the SX is a fun, affordable mid-package that will cater to your every need. Let’s take a longer look.
What Changes Have Taken Place For the Telluride SX?
Before we get into the SX, there have been some very minor tweaks to the line overall in terms of exterior design, but not much else. However, all models, including the SX, feature amber-colored daytime running lights.
Key Takeaways:
- The 2024 Telluride is very much the same as last year’s model.
- The Telluride SX is reasonably priced at $47,385.
- The SUV has EPA fuel ratings of 20 mpg city/26 mpg highway.
What Engine Is Found Under the Hood of the 2024 Kia Telluride SX?
Under the hood of the Telluride, rests a 3.8L V6 engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, delivering a solid 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. With four drive modes—Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Smart—the Telluride is ready for anything. On top of that, it can tow 5,500 pounds maximum and has fuel ratings of 20 mpg city/26 mpg on the highway. Now that’s what we call a win-win!
Should you choose all-wheel drive as an option, you get one extra mode—Snow mode—to make your winter driving experience that much more worry free.
What Creatures Comforts Dores the 2034 Kia Telluride SX Have?
The Telluride's striking on the outside, while its interior has a quiet elegance that makes it one of the most popular trims in the lineup. Its build quality is top notch, as are the materials used in its design and its features are many. It’s a long SUV and, therefore, spacious for all passengers, even in the very back seats. There’s room for eight occupants with a second-row bench seat, seven with captain's chairs (an option.) There’s not only room for people, but cargo—storage is plentiful throughout the cabin.
Is the 2024 Kia Telluride SX a Safe Vehicle?
Kia has never been known to skimp on safety, and it’s very much a part of the Telluride experience. You can rest easy and your journey will be more comfortable and most importantly, safe, with the following systems in place:
- Blind Spot Detection
- Lane Departure Warning
- Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go
Of all the trims, the SX gets rave reviews for delivering a luxury experience on a budget price. Its 12-way power driver's seat, black-painted 20-inch rims, front and rear sunroofs, and second-row captain's chairs are not typical of a lower to mid-level trim.
Does the 2024 Kia Telluride SX Offer a Good Infotainment Center?
The Telluride boasts a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, in-dash navigation, and Wi-Fi. A 110-volt power inverter, and wireless charging are also available. And should you want to get through to the kids in the back of the cab, Driver Talk amplifies your voice via speakers in the back two rows, so you never have to raise the volume.
