Arapahoe Kia - What to Know About the 2025 Kia Telluride
The 2025 Kia Telluride continues to set the bar for three-row SUVs with confident design, real-world versatility, and long-haul comfort. From school-day carpools to weekend trailheads, it delivers the space, tech, and capability modern families expect. At Arapahoe Kia, we spend time with this model on the showroom floor and on local roads so we can help you choose a configuration that fits your life, not the other way around.
Performance is both refined and ready. A smooth V6 pairs with an 8-speed automatic for predictable power, while available all-wheel drive with a center-locking differential and selectable drive modes — including Snow mode — adds confidence when weather or terrain changes. For owners who tow or explore gravel and forest roads, the adventurous X-Line and X-Pro variants layer on trail-minded upgrades such as increased ground clearance, self-leveling rear suspension, and, on X-Pro, all-terrain tires and a higher maximum towing rating when properly equipped.
Inside, the Telluride is thoughtfully built for busy days. Available dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays with navigation place key information in clear view, while Kia Connect features — remote start and cabin pre-conditioning, vehicle finder, and over-the-air updates — simplify daily routines. Standard USB-C ports in all three rows keep everyone charged, and available conveniences like a wireless phone charging tray, Digital Key 2.0, and a Smart Power Liftgate make loading up and heading out even easier.
Advanced driver assistance comes standard, including forward-collision avoidance technologies, blind-spot warnings, and lane centering. Step up trims to access a Surround View Monitor, Blind-Spot View Monitor, an available Head-Up Display, and a Full Display Digital Rearview Mirror — features that reduce stress in tight parking lots and on packed interstates. Combine that with Kia’s long-term limited warranty coverage and you have a family SUV engineered for years of confident miles.
