3 years after it came onto the scene as one of the most sought-after and award-winning 3-row 8-passenger SUVs in the U.S, the Telluride is going to return right here at Jim Butler Kia of St Louis next year with many great new features! The Telluride has worked hard to attract 75 percent of its buyers that are brand new to the Kia family. These owners possess more overall brand loyalty of any midsize SUV when coming back to the market to purchase another great vehicle.
The SUV that fully-swept the “triple crown” of automotive accolades and had claimed the most recent award for best resale value from JD Power now boasts new design elements inside and out and brings a fully-upgraded list of ADAS safety technology for greater peace of mind and driver confidence. With class-leading passenger room, the Telluride arrives for the next year with the X-Line and X-Pro trim models, which make you that much more rock and canyon-climbing ready and allow you to venture off the beaten path and experience a much-needed heavy dose of fresh air and roving around in the peaceful Missouri wilderness.
Every year that models are on sale they need to become more and more appealing for the masses, and the Telluride has been under wraps with engineering and design teams going the distance to create a luxury SUV that still touts the necessary off-road chops. The Telluride now includes a revised vertical headlamp design and available fog lamps, new bumpers and grille, revised taillamps, a new rear fascia and trim, and new wheel designs for every single trim. You can also enjoy your choice of exterior color from the new selections of Midnight Lake Blue, Dawning Red, and Jungle Wood Green.

The X-Line trim alone offers up a unique radiator grille design, bridge-type roof rails, body-color door handles, exclusive 20-inch wheels, and X-Line badging. You’ll be delightfully kicking rocks with higher ground clearance, improved approach and departure angles, and upgraded Traction Control System that aids in traversing the toughest and most demanding terrain. Here you are tackling the demands of the outdoors with a shell composed of 59.4 percent advanced high-strength steel, as well as available self-leveling rear suspension.
As you begin to explore the rutted and washboard terrain of your nearest wilderness location that has been tugging at you to visit, the ride height is automatically calibrated depending on your load to maximize stability. The smart, eco, sport, and comfort driving modes each use their very own settings to leave you with the best driving experience, and you can also opt for Snow or AWD lock when things get wet and a bit dreadful! The new Connected Routing server-based system calculates the optimal route to your destination by using real-time and predicted traffic information based on past info and AI that has intelligently learned the user’s most direct and traffic-free route.
