Although it has not been in the market for long, the Kia Telluride is already a favorite among buyers shopping for a three-row family SUV. The new model excels in interior spaciousness, comfort, safety and performance, making it a suitable vehicle for hauling your family around Wake Forest. As expected from a Kia model, the Telluride guarantees reliability, value for money and high-tech features.
Being a family SUV, Kia ensures the new Telluride can keep you and your occupants safe on your drives. The model has an anti-lock braking system, hill start assist, electronic stability control and a tire-pressure monitoring system to enhance safety by monitoring the vehicle's dynamics. It also has a comprehensive list of driver-assistance features to detect and avoid collisions as you cruise on the highway or drive on busy streets, including:
Under the hood of the new Kia Telluride is a powerful 3.8-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine delivering 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. The engine pairs with an eight-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission and sends power to a front-wheel-drive system. If you are looking for better traction on slippery surfaces, Kia offers an optional all-wheel-drive system across the Telluride lineup.
Driving around Cary in the new Telluride is an enjoyable experience since it has four driving modes, including Comfort, Eco, Sport and Smart, that adjust the vehicle's performance to suit your needs. Moreover, it handles impressively thanks to its torque vectoring cornering control system, which detects understeer and improves stability.
The new Kia Telluride has eight inches of ground clearance to get you across rugged terrain during your off-road excursion. If you are thinking of heading for a family camping trip, you can tow up to 5,000 pounds with the new model, making it easy to bring a camper or boat along.
The Kia Telluride has a stylish interior with loads of space across its three rows of seats. In addition to high-quality materials on the seats and dashboard, the model also has comfort-enhancing features to keep you comfortable as you explore Durham. Notable interior features include dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, cup holders and 12-volt power outlets.
The new Kia Telluride utilizes the latest technological features to make your drive around Raleigh enjoyable. Inside the Telluride, you will enjoy premium infotainment from the 10.25-inch touchscreen display, running on the Kia Connect interface. This new SUV has Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, SiriusXM® satellite radio® and a six-speaker audio system for enhanced connectivity. Communicating with third-row passengers is easy since the new Telluride has an available Driver Talk feature, which relays the driver's voice through the rear speakers.
The Kia Telluride is larger than the Kia Sportage, Niro and Soul. Unlike the Kia Niro, which uses an electric powertrain, the Telluride has a gasoline powertrain featuring a V6 engine. Compared to the Kia Sorento, which also has three rows, the Kia Telluride is the more powerful option thanks to its larger 3.8-liter engine. Both utilize an eight-speed automatic transmission, but the Kia Sorento has a dual-clutch option. While the Sorento has a 3,500-pound maximum towing capacity, the Telluride can haul up to 5,000 pounds, making it the best option for large family vacations or anyone who needs plenty of power for their errands.
