What the 2026 Kia Telluride Delivers

The Telluride sits at the top of Kia’s SUV lineup and backs that position up. Its 3.8-liter V6 produces 291 horsepower, delivering confident acceleration whether you are merging onto I-270 or fully loaded for a longer drive. Seating for up to 8 passengers, standard Forward Collision Avoidance, Lane Keeping Assist, and Smart Cruise Control, and a large touchscreen infotainment display come standard from the base LX up. What consistently separates the Telluride from competitors is third-row legroom that adults actually want to use, paired with an interior build quality that has earned the model recognition well above its price class. For buyers interested in an electrified option, the Telluride Hybrid is available separately in our inventory.

Built for the Way St. Louis Families Live

The Telluride is designed around full-family utility, and it fits naturally into how most St. Louis households use an SUV. School runs, hauling gear to Lone Elk Park, longer drives to the Lake of the Ozarks with a loaded cargo area. This vehicle is built to handle the range without making you plan around it. The split-folding second and third rows open up quickly when you need cargo space, and available towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs means you can bring the camper or the boat without stepping up to a heavier vehicle. With available AWD across the Telluride lineup, St. Louis winters are never a reason to hesitate. Every new Telluride at Suntrup Kia South is backed by Kia’s industry-leading warranty coverage, giving buyers long-term confidence from day one.

The 2026 Kia Telluride is available in six trim levels, from the well-equipped LX through the off-road-ready X-Pro and the premium SX Prestige. Dedicated guides covering trim comparisons, interior dimensions, performance specs, pricing, and competitive comparisons are available for buyers who want the full picture before visiting us.
