2025 Kia Telluride Engine Specs

A dynamic V6 engine offers a strong blend of responsive power and fuel efficiency in the 2025 Kia Telluride. Engineered to deliver 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, the engine in the three-row Telluride SUV also gets up to 26 MPG on the highway when paired with a front-wheel drive (FWD) setup. All-wheel drive (AWD) with a center-locking differential is available, which allows you to control whether the system determines optimal torque distribution or if all four wheels spin at the same speed for greater handling prowess over slick roads or uneven terrain. Most Telluride trims can tow up to 5,000 pounds, but the EX X-Pro and SX Prestige X-Pro trims can tow up to 5,500 lbs. An available self-leveling rear suspension system helps accommodate the weight of your trailer for a better towing experience.

Select between comfort, eco, sport, and smart drive modes with FWD Telluride models. If you go with an AWD model, you also get snow mode for challenging Michigan winter drives. Every Terrain features an eight-speed automatic transmission for smooth, easy shifting.
