DESIGN
Kia Telluride

Much like a carefully crafted novel, the Kia Telluride is a masterpiece ready to be experienced. While it’s true you can’t judge a book by its cover, the Telluride draws you in, promising an allure of sophistication and style.

A Palette of Possibilities

Like the books that line your shelves, the Kia Telluride offers a spectrum of colour options. Those who tend to gravitate toward the classics will love exterior colours like Midnight Lake Blue and Ebony Black, as each exudes sophistication.

If you like to write your narrative, some bolder colour choices—like Dawning Red, Jungle Green, and Wolf Gray—can help you stand out in a crowd.

Beauty Is Skin Deep

The Kia Telluride proves that beauty transcends the surface. The Kia cabin is full of intricate details that boost your driving experience. Check out this snapshot of some of the available finely crafted details:

  • Geometric seats: Premium stitching on select trim levels adds aesthetics and enhanced comfort.
  • Deluxe cloth headliner: A deluxe headliner is a tactile canvas that adds a luxurious touch and is a practical asset as it’s easy to clean.
  • Woodgrain accent trim: Bring the outdoors to your cabin and add a touch of warmth to the interior with fine grain details.

What’s even better is that all these details are constantly in the spotlight thanks to available features like dual sunroofs and ambient mood lighting.

COMFORT
Kia Telluride

As the journey continues, you find the Kia Telluride acts as a sanctuary on wheels. The cabin is a haven where every journey is one full of comfort.

Comfort, Meet Functionality

You’re the type who prefers everything to serve a purpose. The Kia Telluride shares this mindset. Let’s explore some standard and available features:

  • Tri-zone automatic climate control: You, your copilot, and second-row passengers can independently adjust temperature settings.
  • Heated first- and second-row seats: Feel tension melt away after a long day at work or a particularly grueling football game with this hot stone massage-like feature.
  • 2nd-row captain’s chairs: Stroll the runway easily between the second and third rows. No more having to climb over seats or fold down seats to access the rear row.

The Kia Telluride has features that boost your and your passengers' moods while simultaneously providing a specific function.

Adaptability Never Looked So Good

The Kia Telluride knows comfort is more than climate-controlled features. It’s about knowing your SUV is ready for whatever comes its way. This is especially true inside the cabin, thanks to its flexible seat configurations and dimensions.

On days you’re in charge of the carpool, three rows of seats and ample passenger room assures a comfortable ride for all passengers. When your day requires cargo prioritization, the second and third rows fold down, providing a maximum cargo capacity of 2,455 litres (87 cubic feet).
