Why Is the Kia Telluride Such a Popular SUV?
The award-winning Kia Telluride is a favorite among many drivers across America, including here in the Tampa Bay area and around the Gulf Coast. Since its debut, the Telluride has been immensely popular — and for good reason! Here are some highlights of this incredible Kia SUV.
Tons of standard features
You don’t have to upgrade to the top trims to get a lot in your new Kia Telluride from Kia of Welsey Chapel. Right off the bat, the SUV is outfitted with premium technologies like an expansive 12.3-inch touch-screen display with a built-in navigation system, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, SiriusXM® satellite radio, remote start, a Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth® multi-device connectivity, Kia Connect remote access, and 17 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Beyond its technology, the Telluride can be outfitted with all kinds of comfort features. Certain models come with enviable highlights like heated and ventilated seats (front and second row), dual sunroofs, Nappa leather, woodgrain accents, and 64-color interior mood lighting.
A truly versatile interior
The Telluride has constantly been praised by owners and industry experts for its amenity-packed and spacious interior. This Kia SUV has room for up to eight people, but there’s also a seven-passenger configuration available when you choose a model with second-row captain’s chairs. Cargo options abound thanks to a dual level cargo floor and up to 87 cubic feet of space with all the rear seats folded down.
For added convenience, the Telluride SX trims come with a memory system that saves two preset positions for the driver’s seat and the outside mirrors. Additional interior features that help the Telluride stand out include a 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar adjustment, driver smart posture control, and thigh extension; one-touch sliding and folding second-row seats; and second-row integrated window sunshades.
Powerful and fun to drive
Every new Telluride is powered by a brawny 3.8-liter V6 engine that delivers 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. That equates to a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds so you can bring all sorts of fun toys on your weekend adventures in Florida. Certain trims also come with Tow Mode, which optimizes performance with a self-leveling rear suspension.
The Drive Mode Select system lets you choose exactly how you want to drive your Telluride. Every trim comes with Comfort, Sport, Eco, and Smart modes. Kia Telluride all-wheel drive models add a useful Snow mode, which is great if you want to venture with your family beyond our warm weather here in Florida.
