If you’re shopping for a Kia Telluride near Carmel, Indiana, we’re ready to help. At Ray Skillman Kia West, we carry the full Telluride lineup and take a no-pressure approach that makes car buying feel the way it should. Whether you need a family hauler with genuine third-row space, solid towing muscle for the weekends, or a cabin packed with technology that works intuitively, the Telluride covers it.
The latest generation arrives with a bolder exterior, a more refined cabin, and a powertrain lineup that now includes an available turbo-hybrid for drivers who want efficiency without giving up space or capability.
Every model in the current lineup runs a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. That torque figure shows up daily in the form of confident acceleration off the line and easy passing on the highway. When properly equipped, gas-powered trims tow up to 5,000 pounds, covering a mid-size boat, loaded camper trailer, or utility gear without straining the drivetrain.
For drivers who want efficiency without sacrificing room, a turbo-hybrid powertrain is available on select trims. It pairs the turbocharged engine with an electric motor for 329 horsepower, an EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined on the EX FWD trim, and a total range of up to 637 miles on a full tank.
Technology inside the Telluride is genuinely useful rather than overwhelming. Every model ships with a 12.3-inch touchscreen for navigation, media, and vehicle settings, along with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The S trim adds wireless charging and heated front seats, a combination that makes cold Indiana mornings noticeably more comfortable.
Move up to the SX and the interior takes a real leap. A dual panoramic curved display merges the infotainment screen and digital instrument cluster into one sweeping interface, and the Meridian Premium Audio system fills the cabin with rich, clear sound at every row. The SX Prestige adds Nappa leather seating, a configurable head-up display, and heated and ventilated seating for second-row passengers, so long drives are just as comfortable for the people in back.
The Telluride comes with up to 29 available driver assistance and collision avoidance features, and the core safety suite is standard across all trim levels. Forward collision warning with automatic braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control work together to take some stress out of everyday driving. Kia backs the whole package with an industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty.
Inside, three rows of seating accommodate up to eight with a second-row bench, or seven with optional captain’s chairs. The third row is sized for adults rather than treated as an afterthought, and 60/40 split-folding second-row seats make it easy to expand cargo space when you need it.
