Used 2025 Kia Telluride for Sale nearGillette, WY

How much does the 2025 Kia Telluride cost?

Prices have softened 10.76% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,522 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Kia Telluride a good car?

Generally — it earns a 4/5 user rating and an 8.2/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

The 2025 Telluride fits well if you want a family-friendly, midsize three-row SUV that still feels stylish and capable. The cabin is comfortable for long-distance travel, and the SUV’s overall balance makes it a strong road-trip choice.

The trade-offs are clear: aging technology can be irritating, and the lane-assist system can frustrate you. In heavier traffic, sticky brakes can also add to the annoyance.

Even so, 37.7% 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 reputation is supported by its strong safety ratings and its overall balance of comfort and capability. It also comes across as a well-rounded SUV for long-distance use, which matters if you plan to keep it for years.

Its powertrain is described as smooth, refined, and amply powered, and the road-trip fuel economy was respectable at 20.2 mpg over nearly 1,200 miles of driving. Kia’s warranty coverage and roadside assistance also help reduce ownership anxiety.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the aging tech and driver-assist quirks may become more annoying as the vehicle ages.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully and prioritize a thorough inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example. Focus on cabin condition, brake feel in stop-and-go driving, and whether the driver-assist systems behave the way you want them to.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Prestige. The base LX is the least expensive, while higher trims add more upscale equipment, and the X-Line and X-Pro versions bring standard all-wheel drive, a locking center differential, and more rugged hardware. The lower trims are the ones most likely to leave you wanting more tech and luxury 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 transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard on LX, S, EX, and SX, while AWD is standard on the X-Line and X-Pro versions and available on S, EX, and SX.
• Safety package: Drive Wise is the named driver-assistance suite, and it 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 Blind Spot View Monitor, evasive steering assist, front cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, oncoming collision avoidance, lane-change collision avoidance, and a surround-view camera.
• 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, plus a 10-inch head-up display on SX Prestige. The system does not have wireless Apple CarPlay or wireless Android Auto, and the data port is USB-A rather than USB-C.
• Fuel efficiency: The Telluride returned 20.2 mpg over nearly 1,200 miles of driving, and that matched its 20 mpg combined rating.

Which 2025 Kia Telluride trim should I buy?

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

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Telluride formula at the lowest price. It makes sense if you want the style, space, and safety basics without paying for the more advanced screens and luxury touches.
• S: This trim is the first step up if you want a little more equipment without jumping too far in price. It’s a sensible middle-ground choice for shoppers who want more than the base model but don’t need the top-end tech.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many buyers because it moves you closer to the richer equipment mix without going all the way to the expensive upper trims. It’s the one to target if you want a more upscale feel without overcommitting.
• SX: This trim is where the Telluride’s tech story gets much better, thanks to the 12.3-inch digital driver display and 12.3-inch touchscreen setup. Choose it if you care about a more modern cockpit.
• SX Prestige: This is the luxury-leaning choice, adding the 10-inch head-up display and the most comprehensive equipment. It’s the right pick if you want the most polished version of the Telluride.

Higher trims also bring more advanced safety and visibility features, including the Blind Spot View Monitor and additional driver-assistance functions.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Kia Telluride?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 37.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,522 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.76% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 88.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $35,911, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Kia Telluride's resale value?

The current average of $36,195 sits slightly below last year's $40,558.

That price drop suggests the market has cooled enough to give you more negotiating room now than a year ago. If you buy at today’s average or below, you may have less downside risk than someone who bought when prices were higher.

For a future seller, the softer trend means resale value may not be as strong as it was last year, but the Telluride’s broad appeal still helps support demand. Buyers continue to value its style, comfort, and family-friendly packaging, which should help it hold attention in the used market.

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?

The Telluride earns a five-star overall rating in crash tests performed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and it earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

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

Kia’s Drive Wise suite is standard, and it 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 adds Blind Spot View Monitor, evasive steering assist, front cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, oncoming collision avoidance, lane-change collision avoidance, and a surround-view camera.

The main caveat is that lane-centering assist can be frustrating in curves, and that can make the system feel more intrusive than helpful in some driving situations.

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:

• 37.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.76% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2025 model keeps the Telluride’s strong safety ratings and road-trip-friendly character.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $34,565, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $36,195 average.
• It is especially well suited to family life and keeps the formula largely intact.

The bottom line: Choose the 2025 if you want the current-year market, strong safety, and a broad selection of listings. If you’re focused on saving money, the 2024 is the smarter value play because it delivers much of the same appeal for less.
