Big family plans call for an SUV that can keep up, and a Kia Telluride near Bloomington, IN, has room for the whole crew plus the gear that tags along. At Ray Skillman Auto Group, we’ve spent decades matching central Indiana families with vehicles that fit how they drive, and this three-row SUV checks a lot of boxes.
The newest Telluride is longer than the one it replaces, which adds legroom for second- and third-row riders and more cargo room behind the back row. Kia also gave it an all-new look and available upgrades for a quieter cabin. Browse our selection online to see which versions are ready for a test drive.
Kia builds the Telluride in LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Prestige grades, with rugged X-Line and trail-ready X-Pro versions based on select trims. The chart below shows what each one brings so you can narrow your short list before you visit.

Each Telluride starts with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive models earn an EPA-estimated 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, and all-wheel drive is available on the S and EX or standard on SX Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro models. Properly equipped, the gas version tows up to 5,000 pounds, so pulling a small boat out to Lake Monroe for the weekend is well within reach.
High-mileage drivers can pick the available turbo hybrid, which adds a 1.65-kWh battery and electric motors for a combined 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid EX with front-wheel drive earns an EPA-estimated 35 mpg combined and a total range of up to 637 miles, which means fewer fuel stops on long runs up I-69. Hybrids tow up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped. Want to leave the pavement behind? The X-Pro adds all-terrain tires, 9.1 inches of ground clearance, an electronic limited-slip differential, and a Ground View Monitor for creeping through rough spots.
A 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard on every trim, along with dual wireless charging pads up front and seven USB-C ports spread across all three rows. That adds up to fewer backseat arguments over who gets to charge first on a road trip.
SX models and above pair that touchscreen with a 12.3-inch digital driver display to form one wide curved panel, and they add a 14-speaker Meridian sound system. With an active Kia Connect subscription, the generative AI voice assistant answers to “Hey, Kia” for more conversational requests. SX Prestige trims bring a 12-inch head-up display and Digital Key 2, so a compatible phone or smartwatch can unlock and start the SUV.
Ten airbags come standard, including a new center airbag between the front seats. Every trim also gets Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Following Assist 2, Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Safe Exit Assist, and a Rear Occupant Alert that uses radar to sense passengers in the back rows. SX trims and above add Highway Driving Assist 2 for interstate stretches, plus Surround View Monitor and Blind-Spot View Monitor to take the stress out of tight lots.
Heated front seats arrive on the S, ventilation joins on the EX, and the SX Prestige treats second-row passengers to heated and ventilated captain’s chairs. The second row tilts and slides forward for easier third-row access, often without removing a child seat. Gas models offer 22.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, 48.7 cubic feet behind the second row, and up to 89.3 cubic feet with both rear rows folded, while hybrid figures run about one cubic foot lower.
