If you’ve been looking for a midsize SUV that handles busy family schedules, weekend adventures, and tough Indiana winters with equal confidence, the Kia Telluride near Avon, Indiana, is worth a serious look. At Ray Skillman Kia West, we carry a solid selection of Tellurides across every trim level, and our team is here to help you find the right fit without pressure or guesswork.
The Telluride stands out in a crowded midsize SUV market because Kia packed it with features that actually matter to families and active drivers. Space is generous across all three rows, the technology is intuitive, and the V6 brings real capability when you need it.
The Kia Telluride is built around a 3.8-liter V6 engine producing 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, paired with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. That combination delivers responsive acceleration whether you’re merging onto a busy highway or sitting in stop-and-go traffic after work. It’s a powertrain that handles everyday demands without feeling stretched.
Towing capability is a genuine strength. Standard configurations handle up to 5,000 pounds, enough for a mid-size boat, a loaded trailer, or a camper you’ve been planning to buy. X-Pro variants push that number to 5,500 pounds. Front-wheel drive is standard on most trims, with all-wheel drive optional and standard on X-Line, X-Pro, and SX Prestige configurations, making the Telluride a solid choice year-round in Indiana weather.
A 12.3-inch touchscreen is standard across all trim levels, giving you fast access to navigation, music, and phone controls with a display that reads clearly in bright sunlight. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard across the lineup, and every Telluride includes multiple USB charging ports and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Wireless phone charging is available on every trim except the base LX.
Driver-assist technology is built in from the ground up. Forward collision avoidance, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot warning, and adaptive cruise control are all standard on the LX and carry through every trim above it. The SX adds a surround-view camera that makes tight parking less stressful, and the SX Prestige tops things off with a heads-up display that keeps key info on the windshield.
Three rows and a wide, comfortable cabin are what most buyers come looking for in the Telluride, and this SUV delivers. Lower trims seat up to eight with a second-row bench, while mid and upper trims offer available captain’s chairs that significantly upgrade the second-row experience. The third row is genuinely usable for adults, which makes a real difference on longer family trips.
Interior quality climbs steadily from trim to trim. The LX starts with durable SynTex seating, the EX steps up to leather with ventilated front seats and a hands-free power liftgate, and the SX and SX Prestige bring Harman Kardon audio and dual panoramic sunroofs that give the cabin a genuinely upscale feel. Schedule a test drive at Ray Skillman Kia West and experience the Telluride’s cabin for yourself.
