If you find a listing below $37,157.81, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2025 Kia Telluride a good car?

Generally — 4/5 from users and 8.17/10 from our experts. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

The 2025 Telluride’s appeal comes through clearly in its roomy three-row packaging, stylish design, and family-road-trip comfort. It is described as a polished, capable SUV that works well for long-distance travel, city driving, and even trail-adjacent use.

The trade-offs are just as clear: the technology feels outdated, the lane-assist system can be irritating, and sticky brakes in thick traffic are a drawback.

For buyers who want a roomy, family-friendly midsize SUV with broad appeal, the Telluride still fits the brief well. 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Kia Telluride reliable?

Owners rate it 4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Telluride’s reliability case is helped by Kia’s long warranty coverage and roadside assistance, which reduce the sting of unexpected repairs early in ownership. The expert assessment also describes it as a smooth, refined, and amply powered SUV that handled a long road trip well overall.

Its 3.8-liter V6 is presented as a dependable-feeling powertrain, and the road-trip report notes that it delivered plenty of acceleration and respectable fuel economy over nearly 1,200 miles. Kia’s warranty coverage adds another layer of confidence for used buyers who want protection beyond the initial purchase.

The main long-term ownership risk for used buyers is that aging technology and driver-assist quirks may be more annoying than mechanically serious, so condition and feature functionality matter.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Kia Telluride?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are considering a higher-mileage example or one with more complex equipment. Focus on overall condition, because the Telluride’s appeal depends heavily on how well its cabin, electronics, and driver-assistance systems have held up.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX is the most basic version, while higher trims add more upscale materials and more advanced screens and displays. The X-Line and X-Pro versions add standard all-wheel drive, a locking center differential, extra ground clearance, and more rugged visual treatment, but the lower trims do not get those features.
• Powertrain: Every version uses a 3.8-liter V6 with 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque paired with an eight-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard on LX, S, EX, and SX, while AWD is standard on other versions and available on some lower trims.
• Safety package: Drive Wise includes forward collision warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection, intersection assistance, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, safe exit assist, and Highway Driving Assist. Higher trims add lane-change assist.
• Infotainment: SX and SX Prestige trims get a 12.3-inch digital driver display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen under one piece of glass, while SX Prestige also adds a 10-inch head-up display. The system does not offer wireless Apple CarPlay or wireless Android Auto.
• Fuel efficiency: The road-trip result was 20.2 mpg, which aligns with the EPA-rated 20 mpg in combined driving.

Which 2025 Kia Telluride trim should I buy?

The 2025 Kia Telluride is offered in 5 trim levels: Telluride LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Prestige.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Telluride’s core three-row packaging at the lowest price. It makes the most sense if you want the model’s space, style, and safety basics without paying for the more advanced screens and luxury touches.
• S: This trim adds a step up in equipment while staying closer to the value end of the lineup. It is a sensible choice if you want more than the base model without jumping too far up the price ladder.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it balances equipment and price well. It is also one of the trims that can be paired with X-Line or X-Pro content if you want more capability.
• SX: This trim brings the more advanced digital display setup and a more upscale feel. It suits you if you want the Telluride to feel more modern inside, even though the underlying tech still has some age.
• SX Prestige: This is the most luxurious standard trim and the one to choose if you want the richest cabin presentation and the most advanced tech. If you want the most comprehensive equipment, this is the trim to target.

For safety, every trim comes standard with Highway Driving Assist, and higher trims add lane-change assist.

What is the 2025 Kia Telluride's resale value?

The current average of $37,118 sits slightly below last year's $43,882.

That drop suggests the market has become more favorable for buyers, but it also means sellers may need to price more competitively than they did a year ago. If you buy well now, you may have less immediate depreciation pressure than someone who paid closer to last year’s average.

The Telluride’s broad family appeal, strong safety reputation, and continued demand should help support resale interest over time. Well-kept examples with desirable equipment and clean history should remain easier to move than neglected ones.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2025 Kia Telluride safe?

It earns a five-star overall rating in crash tests performed by 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’s Drive Wise suite includes forward collision warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection, intersection assistance, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, safe exit assist, and Highway Driving Assist. Higher trims add lane-change assist, and the top model also gets a surround-view camera and additional collision-avoidance features.

The main caveat is that the lane-centering system can be irritating on curving roads, so you may want to test that feature carefully on your own drive.

Should I buy a 2025 Kia Telluride or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 31.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.41% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2025 adds a strong road-trip-friendly mix of style, comfort, and safety, even though its technology is aging.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $36,735, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $37,118 average.
• It is a polished, family-friendly three-row SUV with a stylish and rugged character.

The bottom line: If you want the newest pricing context and a strong mix of safety, comfort, and family appeal, the 2025 is the better default choice. If your priority is saving a bit of money and you find a clean 2024 with the right equipment, that earlier model year is still a smart alternative.
