It's about what you bring to the journey
The Telluride offers you more ways to bring your gear and your companions along for the trip, as well as the technology to help you stay in control and out of trouble. While the safety and stability features are working non-stop behind the scenes, dynamic performance features make the drive itself as relaxed or as invigorating as you desire.
Exterior
I want adventures that end on a high note
Rugged capability. That's what we all expect from a full-size SUV. The all-new Kia Telluride is an all-access, all-weather SUV that seats up to eight in roomy luxury. It's also smart about navigating all types of road and weather conditions. Dial into the Snow mode and upshifts will come sooner, so your wheels don't spin out. Or get more rear-wheel kick with Sport mode. In day-to-day driving or out in the elements, the Telluride masters the terrain. If you're ready to go big, read on.
Drive modes and AWD
During normal driving, the drive mode determines how power is distributed. Eco and Smart modes utilize front-wheel drive. Comfort and Snow modes deliver a portion of the drive to the rear wheels. Sport mode sends even more power to the rear wheels for spirited driving. To help maintain consistent control, AWD processors adjust torque flow to each wheel based on road conditions and driver input, including turning and braking.
Interior
Elegantly simple instrumentation
Drivers will indulge themselves in the polished and controlled design of the comfortable cockpit.The horizontal arrangement of instruments and design elements, including a floating AVN screen, is clean and uncluttered. Wood-pattern trim provides a clubhouse feel, while the sculpted handles of the console hint at the heart-pounding adventures that lie ahead.
Your own wide-open space
Telluride’s spacious interior seats seven or eight omfortably in three rows of reclining seats with unmatched legroom. The firm, comfortable seats are trimmed with double-stitched, quilted and extra-padded Nappa leather upholstery. A dual sunroof, with a sliding front section, brings light and fresh breezes to every seat.

Highlights
Just the right mix of force and finesse
The Telluride gives you the power to join rushing traffic, or to escape from civilization completely and conquer rugged back roads.
