In addition, the Telluride offers up to six USB ports to keep everyone's devices charged, as well as an available Harman Kardon® sound system for high-quality audio, ensuring that your road trip soundtrack sounds crystal clear.
5. Comfortable Ride and Handling
No matter how long the drive is, comfort is a priority when it comes to road trips, and the Kia Telluride excels in this department. With its well-cushioned seats, available heated and ventilated front- and second-row seats, and a quiet cabin, the Telluride keeps everyone comfortable and relaxed, even during extended drives.
The Telluride's suspension is designed to smooth out rough roads, and its precise steering makes it easy to maneuver through city streets or along winding country roads. Overall, the Telluride offers a balanced ride that’s enjoyable for both the driver and passengers.
6. Powerful Performance for Any Terrain
Whether you're cruising down the highway or tackling mountain roads, the Telluride performance is up to the task. Under the hood, the Telluride is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine that produces 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, giving it plenty of power to handle steep inclines, passing on the highway, and towing.
Speaking of towing, the Telluride can tow up to 5,000 pounds, making it easy to bring along a small trailer, camper, or boat for even more road trip adventures.
7. Top-Notch Safety Features
Safety is paramount on long road trips, and the Kia Telluride is packed with advanced safety features to keep you and your passengers protected. Kia’s Drive Wise safety suite includes:
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Blind Spot View Monitor
• Lane Keeping Assist
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Highway Driving Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control with lane-centering technology for a semi-autonomous driving experience.
These features not only help prevent accidents but also reduce driver fatigue, making long stretches of highway driving less stressful.
8. Roomy and Refined Interior
While some SUVs prioritize utility over luxury, the Kia Telluride offers both. The interior is designed with premium materials and attention to detail, providing a refined atmosphere that makes every road trip feel special. Soft-touch surfaces, available Nappa leather seating, and wood grain trim options elevate the cabin’s look and feel, making it a pleasure to spend hours inside.
With the available dual sunroofs, passengers can enjoy natural light and fresh air, adding to the sense of openness and comfort during long drives.
