Powerful Performance

Under the hood, the Kia Telluride packs a powerful 3.8L V6 engine, producing 291 horses and 262 lb-ft of torque. You can opt for the standard front-wheel drive for maximum efficiency or the available AWD for enhanced traction and capability. Power is delivered smoothly through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The innovative Drive Mode Select system allows you to tailor your driving experience in four modes: Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Smart. AWD models come with a Snow mode as well. This setting optimizes the powertrain’s performance to ensure maximum efficiency without sacrificing capability. For example, when cruising in the city where fuel economy is the top priority, simply use Eco mode to save fuel.

Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control

Even when cruising in traffic, the Telluride works to maximize efficiency. The standard Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC) with Stop and Go-Curve takes intelligent driving to a new level. Using navigation data, it can anticipate upcoming curves in the road and automatically adjust speed for efficient cornering. You can enjoy stress-free drives through every twist and turn while boosting your overall MPG numbers.

Intelligent Speed Limit Assist

Speeding doesn’t just put your safety at risk. It is also a surefire way to guzzle gas. The Telluride’s standard Intelligent Speed Limit Assist helps keep you within the efficiency sweet spot. Using a forward camera, this system monitors speed limit signs and displays the posted limit on your instrument cluster. When you keep your speed below the posted limit, you save money on gas and traffic tickets.

Smart Cruise Control With Machine Learning

Higher trims of the 2024 Telluride also offer Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go and Machine Learning (SCC-ML). This system builds upon the conventional smart cruise control system to reduce fatigue and increase efficiency in stop-and-go traffic. It uses sensors and machine learning to monitor and adapt your driving style, so you don’t have to manually adjust the vehicle’s speed, following distance, and acceleration.

These amazing features work seamlessly to deliver maximum efficiency, allowing you to enjoy every adventure without worrying about fuel economy. Stop by Superior Kia in Orangeburg, SC to test-drive the Kia Telluride lineup and explore these innovative features.
