If you’ve been searching for a Kia Telluride near Plainfield, Indiana, Ray Skillman Kia West is the place to start. The Telluride has earned its reputation as one of the most capable three-row SUVs on the road, and the current generation builds on that with a turbocharged engine, a roomier cabin, and enough tech to keep everyone connected.
Families in the area need a vehicle that handles school drop-offs during the week and camping trips on the weekend. The Telluride fits that bill without making you choose between comfort, safety, or style. At Ray Skillman Kia West, we carry a strong selection of Telluride trims, and our team is happy to walk you through every option so you can find the right fit.
Under the hood, the Kia Telluride runs a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that puts out 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. That torque figure is a solid jump over the previous generation, and you can feel the difference when merging onto the highway or passing on a two-lane road. An eight-speed automatic transmission keeps shifts smooth and responsive, whether you’re running errands around town or heading out toward Brown County for the day.
Front-wheel drive comes standard, and all-wheel drive is available across most trims for drivers who want extra grip in rain, snow, or loose gravel. When properly equipped, the Telluride handles up to 5,000 pounds of towing, so a mid-size boat, a small camper, or a loaded utility trailer are all in play. An available self-leveling rear suspension keeps things stable under heavier loads, so the ride stays composed instead of bouncy. Schedule a test drive with us to feel how this SUV handles on roads you actually drive every day.
Every Telluride comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, built-in navigation, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Even the base trim gives you quick access to your favorite apps, music, and maps without fumbling with cables. Kia’s voice assistant responds to natural conversation, so you can adjust the climate, find a nearby restaurant, or switch playlists while your hands stay on the wheel.
Higher trims add dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays that stretch across the dash, a 12-inch head-up display that projects speed and navigation cues onto the windshield, and a Meridian 14-speaker sound system for rich, full audio. Digital Key 2.0 lets you lock, unlock, and start the Telluride from a compatible smartphone, and you can share access with up to three family members. Over-the-air updates keep the software current without a trip to the service department. Browse our current Kia Telluride inventory online to see which trims we have in stock.
Up to 29 driver assistance and collision avoidance features are available across the lineup. Standard equipment includes forward collision warning, blind-spot collision warning, lane keeping assist, smart cruise control with stop-and-go capability, and a rear occupant alert that uses radar to detect movement after you lock the doors. That last one brings real peace of mind for parents of young children.
The cabin wraps you in a surprisingly quiet space thanks to available acoustic glass in the windshield and front windows. Second-row captain’s chairs can be equipped with both heating and ventilation, and even the third row gets available heated seats. Up front, an available Ergo Motion driver’s seat with massage function and power leg rests turns long highway stretches into something you actually look forward to. If comfort matters to you, come sit in one and see what we mean.

Our team can help you compare trims side by side when you visit.
With the turbocharged gas engine and proper equipment, the Telluride tows up to 5,000 pounds. The available hybrid handles up to 4,500 pounds. Either setup gives you enough pull for a camping trailer, a pair of jet skis, or a mid-size boat.
All-wheel drive is available on every gas and hybrid trim. It comes standard on the X-Pro SX Prestige. Adding AWD to other trims gives you active torque distribution for better traction in rain, snow, and on gravel roads around central Indiana.
Depending on trim and configuration, the Telluride seats seven or eight passengers. The LX starts with a second-row bench for eight-passenger capacity, while most other trims offer second-row captain’s chairs that seat seven. Either way, third-row passengers get real legroom and available heated seats.
Yes. The hybrid pairs a turbocharged 2.5L engine with electric assist to produce 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Kia estimates around 637 miles of total driving range on the hybrid EX with front-wheel drive, so you’ll be stopping for gas a lot less often.
Kia backs the Telluride with a 10-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, one of the longest in the industry. That kind of coverage gives you confidence that your investment is protected for years to come.
