Ready to pack up the kids for a weekend adventure? Whether planning a road trip or an overnight stay at a local camping spot, the 2024 Kia Telluride is the ideal family SUV for your next trip. Learn why the Telluride LX is the family vehicle of choice before you visit your Kia dealer.
The entry-level Telluride LX is offered with an FWD or an optional AWD drivetrain. In general, the FWD variant has a better fuel economy of 20 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the freeway. The AWD model, on the other hand, gets 18 MPG in urban areas and 24 MPG on the interstate. The LX has a 5,000 lb towing capacity.
Regardless of the drivetrain, the base Telluride has a remarkable powertrain consisting of a 3.6-liter V6 engine that provides 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. The powertrain is matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission and selectable drive modes for Smart, Eco, Comfort, and Sport road conditions. If you opt for the AWD upgrade, you can also access a Snow driving mode.
Seating
Flexible seating is a must-have in family vehicles. The Telluride LX is outfitted with a 60/40 folding second-row seat with a one-touch sliding function to make it easier to access the third-row. The third-row seats also have a 60/40 split-folding capability with a reclining feature for enhanced passenger comfort on long trips.
The LX has standard SynTex seating material. SynTex is a synthetic leather fabric that is easy to maintain, which may be important if you have small pets or pets that frequently ride in the vehicle. This artificial leather is more resistant to wear and tear like scratches or stains. You can clean this fabric with a damp cloth and wipe it dry, or even apply a protective seal to keep the material supple.
Cargo
Ample cargo space is another necessity for your family vehicle. The Telluride LX has a dual-level cargo floor as a standard feature, which allows you to store cargo in a hidden compartment under the cargo floor.
The max cargo volume for this SUV is 87 cubic feet when the second and third-row seats are folded. With only the third-row seats folded, the SUV offers 46 cubic feet of cargo room. There are 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third-row seats in the dedicated cargo area. This flexible cargo room allows you to haul tall items, heavy sports gear, camping equipment, suitcases, pet crates, and much more.
With three rows of seating, forgiving interior seat trim, and flexible cargo room, the 2024 Telluride is the ultimate family vehicle. Get in touch with Bill Dodge Kia in Westbrook, ME to see how you can customize the Telluride to suit your family’s adventurous lifestyle.
