The 2025 Kia Telluride rivals other luxury family SUVs with its athletic performance, flexible cabin, and high-tech features. From everyday commutes and school drop-offs to epic adventures, the new Telluride can handle anything you throw its way. Let’s talk about the reasons this three-row is a perfect pick for families.
4 Reasons Families Choose the 2025 Kia Telluride
1. Adventure-Ready Performance
The Telluride offers great ride quality with a 3.8L V6 engine that pumps out 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated with an 8-speed automatic, and front-wheel drive is standard. Except for the base LX, all the other trims can be had with all-wheel drive.
This SUV is made with active families in mind. With 5,000 pounds of towing muscle, you can haul a camper or RV and take family adventures a notch higher. A towing hitch is optional, and some models even come with “Tow” mode to optimize towing performance.
2. Flexible Seating and Cargo
The Telluride comes standard with an eight-seater cabin, but a seven-seater setup is available with second-row captain’s chairs. The second-row seats slide forward at the touch of a button, making it easy for you to access the third row and buckle in the kids. The available second-row window shades give everyone a break from the sun’s glare and heat.
With the third-row seats up, there’s 21 cubic feet of space in the trunk for your groceries, school gear, and more. The third-row seats are 60/40 split-folding, giving you up to 46 cubic feet to work with. You can also stow the second-row seats to free up a maximum of 87 cubic feet for long, bulky items. When your hands are full, the available smart power liftgate makes loading up the trunk a breeze.
3. Family-Friendly Tech
This SUV has the tech you need for smooth, connected family drives. It comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in navigation, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. From talking to Siri to streaming content and getting directions, the infotainment system keeps everything at your fingertips. It pairs with a 6-speaker stereo or a 10-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.
The Telluride is also equipped with USB charging ports on all rows and an available wireless charger. Quiet Mode lets you keep the music up front while the kids nap or stream on their devices. With the available CabinTalk tech, you can chat with the rear passengers without turning around or raising your voice.
4. Premium Comforts
Dual-zone automatic climate control comes standard, along with an automatic climate control system with separate controls for the rear passengers. The Telluride starts with SynTex-trimmed seats, but you can get leather seats in higher trims. Other available comforts include power front seats, heated and ventilated front and second-row seats, and a heated steering wheel.
