KIA Telluride Trim Levels

The new Kia Telluride doesn't just look good, but it feels good, too. Every trim will make you feel like you're really in charge of every street, parking lot, and driveway you grace. No single trim is better than another, but you might find that certain trims offer just the perfect options for your everyday drive. There are four options waiting for you, so take your time and think about what you really want from your Kia Telluride SUV for sale.

• Kia Telluride LX
• Kia Telluride S
• Kia Telluride EX
• Kia Telluride SX

Performance

If driving were a ballet, the new Kia Telluride for sale is The Nutcracker. It boasts renowned power and refined handling, making it the obvious, most popular choice of its class. It has a 3.8L Lambda DOHC 24-valve V6 engine with CVVT. That gets you 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque to plié and arabesque past all the competition.

Pristine handling makes you the star of the show thanks to the electronically-controlled 8-speed automatic transmission and Sportmatic Sport Shifter. And, your fuel economy is worthy of five stars. FWD models get an EPA-estimated 20/26/23 city/highway/combined MPG.¹

Interior Features

We do love our used cars for sale, but there's just something enticing about that new car smell that keeps us coming back to our brand new models. If that new car smell isn't enough of an interior feature to get you excited about the new Kia Telluride for sale, we have a few more options that are sure to intrigue you. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard across the models. And, you'll get at least a six-speaker audio system, but you could get a Harmon Kardon 10-speaker premium audio system with an external amplifier and a subwoofer if you choose the SX trim.

Other standard features include a rearview monitor with dynamic parking guidance, smart cruise control with stop and go, at least five USB charging ports, three 12V power outlets, smart key with push-button start & remote start, and one-touch sliding & folding second-row seats.

Eight passenger seating is available on the LX and EX models, whereas the S and SX models seat seven passengers and have second-row captain's chairs. You can also opt to make the EX a seven-seater with captain's chairs if you want.

An Award-Winning Family Car

Still not believing everything we're telling you about the Kia Telluride? Maybe the experts can convince you of this SUV model's can-do spirit and the various Kia Telluride awards it's earned.

The Car Connection's Best Family Car to Buy Award spotlights the model that best balances various vehicle components that drivers crave and marks the beginning of our Kia Telluride awards list. Elements like design utility, the roominess of the interior for passengers and cargo alike, fuel efficiency, driving dynamics, and value are all evaluated by a panel of editors that test drive several models before coming to a consensus.

In 2021, editors test drove more than a hundred new 2021 vehicles, all of which were priced under $50,000, and evaluated them under conditions that parents and growing families are all too familiar with. The emerging champion was a familiar face.

The Telluride took home the crown of Best Family Car for the second year in a row due to having a complementary combination of features that make driving easier instead of intimidating less technologically advanced SUV drivers. "It's stylish and spacious, technologically advanced and user-friendly, and a pace-setter among three-row family vehicles," said Martin Padgett, editorial director for Internet Brands Automotive.¹

Kelley Blue Book is an industry-standard authority for resale value. You'll hear their name pop up in any discussion about pre-owned automobiles. Every year, Kelley Blue Book gives awards to models that have the lowest depreciation among their competitors during the first five years of the model's driving life. The cars that perform the best over time, require the least amount of adjustments to wear and tear, and maintain their value are awarded the Best Resale Value Award.

The 2021 Kia Telluride won the 2021 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Award in the 3-Row Midsize SUV category.² We told you the experts love this big bruiser.

Lastly, the Kia Telluride made history that's usually reserved for athletic greatness in sports that have a host of major tournaments. Yet, off the field and on the road, there's a new triple crown winner.

(Clears throat!) The Kia Telluride won the 2020 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year from North American Car of the Year, the MotorTrend SUV of the Year, and even a spot in the Car and Driver 10 Best.³ It's raining 2021 Telluride awards, and it just won't stop.

As you can see, several experts agree. The gold medal standard in family SUVs is here. Stand up for the champion and give this four-wheeled warrior the standing ovation it deserves. Or, put your hands on the steering wheel and take control of this colossal car yourself. We much prefer the second option… but what do we know?
