The 3.8-litre V6 engine delivers ample output to propel the Telluride's sturdy frame, with 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque ensuring surging acceleration and smooth highway passing. An eight-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth shifts and well-balanced gear ratios, while the standard all-wheel drive provides control and responsiveness in a full range of driving conditions. While this Kia has plenty of power under the hood, it doesn't come at the cost of high fuel consumption. The Telluride’s highway economy figure of just 9.8 L/100 km sets an impressive standard for an SUV of its size.
Premium Infotainment and Safety Technology
The Telluride's interior offers a superior level of technology, starting with the impressive12.3-inch touchscreen that’s used to access the wide array of infotainment features. The entry-level trim has a 4.2-inch TFT display for essential driving data, but on every other trim, a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster takes over to deliver all the information you need in crystal-clear colour. Higher trims also offer a 10-inch head-up display as well as a fully digital rear-view mirror.
Safety technology is equally advanced, with available features such as:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Junction Crossing
- Blind-spot Collision Avoidance Assist
- Rear parking sensors
- Safe Exit Assist, which prevents rear-seat passengers from opening their doors into oncoming traffic
