The 2024 Kia Telluride S is a three-row SUV finished in Gravity Gray with a Black interior, powered by a 3.8L V6 DOHC engine and equipped with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission.
This SUV is well-suited for buyers who require seating for up to eight and value flexible cargo options. The inclusion of third-row split-bench seats and a split-folding rear seat makes it easy to adapt the interior for passengers or additional luggage. Drivers in regions with unpredictable weather, such as the St. Louis area, will appreciate the confidence of all-wheel drive and heated front seats for cold mornings. Features like smart key with remote start and rear air conditioning enhance convenience for families, busy commuters, or anyone needing a reliable vehicle for both daily errands and weekend adventures.
Driving the Telluride S reveals a smooth and composed ride, thanks to its robust 3.8L V6 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The powertrain delivers responsive acceleration for highway merging and steady power in urban traffic. The four-wheel independent suspension and speed-sensing steering provide stable handling, making the SUV easy to maneuver in city conditions or on winding roads. Its AWD system ensures traction in rain or light snow, offering peace of mind when conditions are less than ideal.
Safety is a core strength of this SUV, highlighted by a suite of active systems designed to protect occupants. Standard ABS brakes and electronic stability control help maintain control during emergency maneuvers or slippery surfaces. The rearview camera aids with parking and reversing, while blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are not listed, but driver and passenger airbags, side impact airbags, a knee airbag, and overhead airbags offer comprehensive passive protection. The emergency communication system, 911 Connect, provides an added layer of security in urgent situations, ensuring help is within reach if needed.
The S Sunroof Package brings in natural light, enhancing the cabin experience, while SynTex synthetic leather seat trim offers durability and easy cleaning. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration allow seamless smartphone connectivity for navigation, calls, and music. Dual-zone automatic climate control ensures front passengers stay comfortable regardless of external temperatures, and rear air conditioning extends that comfort to those in the back. The navigation system and smart key with push-button start streamline both travel and daily operation, making the Telluride S user-friendly and accommodating.
