Here at Jim Butler Kia of St. Louis, finding the perfect Telluride to suit your lifestyle has never been easier.
New Safety Features for Peace of Mind
One of the standout additions for 2025 is the inclusion of second-row side-impact airbags, offering increased safety for passengers seated in the back. The Telluride also introduces the latest Highway Driving Assist 1.5 across all models, improving driver assistance with adaptive cruise control and lane-centering steering. These features ensure every journey is smoother, whether you’re tackling weekend road trips or the daily school run.
As a top contender in its class, the Telluride incorporates a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance systems, including forward collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. Also standard are features like lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and safe exit assist, making it one of the safest vehicles in its category.
Power and Performance for Any Adventure
Under the hood, the 2025 Telluride delivers dependable performance thanks to its robust 3.8-liter V6 engine, which provides 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this engine ensures ample power for highway merging, city driving, and off-road trails. While front-wheel drive is standard on most trims, all-wheel drive is available in various configurations, enhancing traction and stability on rugged paths and during unpredictable autumn weather.
Regarding towing, the X-Pro trim brings enhanced capability with a raised ride height and an upgraded towing capacity of 5,500 pounds—making it a perfect companion for weekend camping trips or hauling gear for fall activities. The Telluride’s well-tuned suspension delivers a composed ride over various terrains, from city streets to backcountry roads, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful drive through the fall foliage.
Luxury Meets Utility in the X-Line and X-Pro
The off-road-oriented X-Line and X-Pro trims offer a unique blend of ruggedness and refined luxury, making them well-suited for the active autumn season. Both trims come with standard Terracotta-colored leather upholstery, lending an earthy elegance that complements fall’s rich tones. The 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster provides essential vehicle information at a glance, so you can stay focused on the road while staying informed.
The X-Line trim boasts distinctive black exterior accents and a self-leveling rear suspension, giving it a sleek yet capable look that turns heads in any setting. For even greater off-road prowess, the X-Pro trim adds all-terrain tires and a 110-volt inverter in the cargo area, ideal for tailgating or powering outdoor equipment on autumn adventures.
Technology That Keeps You Connected
Inside the Telluride, drivers and passengers alike are treated to an array of high-tech features. A 12.3-inch touchscreen comes standard, providing seamless access to navigation, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. For families with busy schedules, the Telluride’s advanced connectivity options make it easy to stay in touch, find your way, and entertain the whole crew.
In higher trims, the Telluride offers features like a head-up display, Harman Kardon premium audio system, and Kia’s Digital Key 2 Touch, which lets you use your smartphone as a key. Whether you’re rushing between activities or setting off on a weekend getaway, the Telluride has everything needed to keep up with a busy lifestyle.
