Used 2024 Kia Telluride for Sale nearLansing, MI

How much does the 2024 Kia Telluride cost?

Prices have softened 10.35% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

With 6,105 listings available, you have a solid amount of inventory to compare across trims and conditions.

If you find a listing below $36,749.75, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 Kia Telluride a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Kia Telluride earns a 4.8/5 user rating and an 8.5/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, Cost effectiveness, and Technology.

It stands out as a midsize, three-row crossover SUV that blends family-friendly practicality with a polished sense of style. The overview also points to roomy packaging and thoughtful presentation, while the expert assessment calls it stylish, safe, and loaded with surprise-and-delight details.

The main trade-offs are clear: there is no hybrid option, some interior materials feel cheap, and the lane-keeping system can be irritating. For you, that means the Telluride makes the most sense if you want a well-equipped family SUV with broad everyday appeal and can live with a few refinement compromises.

With 31.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still meaningful value in the market.

Is the 2024 Kia Telluride reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Telluride’s appeal is reinforced by its strong safety reputation, broad comfort, and the sense that Kia has kept the formula largely intact rather than overcomplicating it. The expert assessment also describes it as a vehicle that is almost perfect right off the drafting table, which supports the idea that the core package is well sorted.

It uses a 3.8-liter V6 with an eight-speed automatic, and the expert evaluation describes the driving experience as quick and refined. The performance notes also say the SUV has good passing power and feels more athletic in curves and corners than many rivals.

Kia also includes one of the longest warranty plans of any automaker, and the cost-effectiveness notes emphasize top-notch safety ratings and strong overall satisfaction. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the fuel economy is not especially impressive, so operating costs may be higher than you expect.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Kia Telluride?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are shopping higher-mileage examples or trims with more equipment. Focus on interior condition, because the overview and expert notes both point to some cheaper-feeling materials in places.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Prestige are the core trims, and the X-Line treatment adds standard AWD with a center locking differential, more ground clearance, improved approach and departure angles, unique grille and wheel designs, and roof rails. The X-Pro package adds all-terrain tires and heavy-duty engine cooling, while the SX Prestige stands out for its premium cabin details and 24-inch dual-screen digital display panel.
• Powertrain: Every Telluride uses a 3.8-liter V6 with 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque through an eight-speed automatic. AWD versions include a locking center differential and a Snow mode, and the SUV is described as quick, refined, and capable of decent passing power.
• Safety package: Kia Drive Wise is standard and includes collision-avoidance tech, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear occupant protection, and Highway Driving Assist with adaptive cruise control and lane-centering assist. Higher trims add front parking sensors, cross-traffic alert, evasive steering assist, lane-change assist, automatic rear braking, and Highway Driving Assist 2.0.
• Infotainment: Every model gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto require a cable connection, wireless projection is not included, and over-the-air update capability is available through Kia Connect plans.
• Fuel efficiency: The AWD versions should get 20 mpg in combined driving, but the expert evaluation averaged 19 mpg on a mountainous loop and 17.5 mpg over a week of city driving.

Which 2024 Kia Telluride trim should I buy?

The 2024 Kia Telluride is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Prestige.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the value play if you want the Telluride’s core strengths without stretching the budget. The cost-effectiveness notes say you get everything you need in a midsize three-row SUV and more, so this is the trim to start with if you care most about practicality and price.
• S: Choose this if you want a step up in equipment while staying below the upper trims. It sits in the middle of the lineup and is part of the group that can be paired with the X-Line treatment, so it gives you room to tailor the SUV toward style or capability.
• EX: This is the trim to consider if you want a more upscale feel without jumping all the way to the top. It benefits from the Telluride’s strong technology and family-friendly packaging, making it a sensible middle-ground choice.
• SX: This is the better pick if you want more of the premium features and advanced tech that make the Telluride feel close to a luxury SUV. It is also one of the trims eligible for the X-Pro package, so it can be configured for more rugged use.
• SX Prestige: This is the best choice if you want the most polished Telluride experience and are willing to pay for it. The expert notes call out premium Nappa leather, a 24-inch dual-screen digital display panel, classy metallic accents, and thoughtful details, making this the top-value pick only if you want the most upscale cabin.

The safety package is strong across the lineup, but the more expensive trims add features like front parking sensors, cross-traffic alert, evasive steering assist, lane-change assist, automatic rear braking, and Highway Driving Assist 2.0.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Kia Telluride?

The market looks selective rather than overheated, so you can shop with patience and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,105 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.35% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $36,749.75, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Kia Telluride's resale value?

The current average of $36,735 sits slightly below last year's $40,976.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also limit short-term upside if you plan to resell soon. If you purchase at a strong price and keep the SUV in clean condition, you should be better positioned than someone who buys near the top of the range.

The Telluride’s broad appeal, strong safety reputation, and family-friendly packaging should continue to support demand. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Kia Telluride safe?

It earns a five-star overall crash test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Kia Drive Wise is standard, and it includes collision-avoidance tech, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear occupant protection, and Highway Driving Assist with adaptive cruise control and lane-centering assist. Higher trims add front parking sensors, cross-traffic alert, evasive steering assist, lane-change assist, automatic rear braking, and a camera-based Blind-Spot View Monitor.

One caveat is that the lane-keeping system can feel intrusive when Highway Driving Assist is not active, and the expert notes say it introduces on-center steering lightness and dead spots that can undermine confidence. For used buyers, that means the Telluride is broadly strong on safety, but you should test the driver-assistance behavior on your own roads before you buy.

Should I buy a 2024 Kia Telluride or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 31.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.35% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the formula largely intact with minor detail changes, including standard amber running lights and gloss-black exterior detailing for X-Line and X-Pro versions.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $32,947, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $36,735 average.
• It adds minor styling changes, new technologies, and X-Line and X-Pro trims.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $37,118, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $36,735 average.
• It remains stylish and capable, but the technology feels more dated.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, safety, and current-market availability, the 2024 is the primary path to consider. If your budget is tighter, the 2023 offers a lower entry price with much of the same appeal. If you want the newest nearby option and are comfortable paying a bit more, the 2025 remains attractive, but it does not clearly outshine the 2024 on value.
