Used 2025 Kia Telluride for Sale nearTampa, FL

How much does the 2025 Kia Telluride cost?

Prices have softened 15.90% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,765 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Kia Telluride a good car?

Generally — the 2025 Kia Telluride earns a 4/5 user rating and an 8.17/10 expert rating, which puts it in strong territory for used shoppers. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

It stands out as a family-friendly, midsize three-row SUV with a stylish design, a comfortable driving experience, and strong safety ratings. It also proved well suited to long-distance travel, handling an extended family road trip with ease whether on the interstate, in a major city, or on trails near a national park.

The main trade-offs are outdated technology and an irritating lane-assist system, and sticky brakes in thick traffic were another downside. If you want a roomy, practical three-row SUV with broad everyday capability, the Telluride fits that brief well.

39.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there are still some attractive opportunities in the market.

Is the 2025 Kia Telluride reliable?

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

The Telluride’s broader ownership case is helped by Kia’s long warranty coverage and roadside assistance, which support confidence over time. Its smooth, refined V6 powertrain also points to a durable, easygoing driving experience rather than a high-strung setup.

The main long-term ownership risk for used buyers is that aging technology and driver-assist quirks may remain part of the experience, so condition and feature functionality matter.

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

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

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a thorough inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with more equipment. Focus on overall condition, how the driver-assistance systems behave, and whether the infotainment setup meets your expectations for daily use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Prestige. The base LX is the value entry point, while higher trims add more upscale cabin materials and more advanced tech, but the lower trims are where you’ll feel the biggest feature gaps.
• 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 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, and safe exit assist. Highway Driving Assist is standard on every trim, with lane-change assist on higher trims.
• Infotainment: Higher 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 Telluride does not have wireless Apple CarPlay or wireless Android Auto.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 returned 20.2 mpg over nearly 1,200 miles of driving, and that lines up with the EPA rating of 20 mpg in combined driving.

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 the best fit if you want the Telluride’s core space, style, and safety without paying for extra luxury or tech. It gives you the essentials and keeps the price closest to the model’s starting point.
• S: This is the trim to consider if you want a step up in equipment without jumping too far in price. It keeps the Telluride’s family-friendly formula intact while adding more appeal than the base model.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it moves you into a more upscale experience without going all the way to the top. It’s also one of the trims that can be paired with X-Line or X-Pro equipment if you want more capability.
• SX: This trim brings the more advanced screen setup and a more premium feel, making it a strong choice if you care about tech and cabin presentation. It’s a good middle ground before the highest-spec version.
• SX Prestige: This is the pick if you want the most luxurious and fully equipped Telluride experience. It adds the richest tech and comfort content, and it’s the trim that best suits shoppers who want the top-end version.

Higher trims also bring more advanced safety and driver-assistance content, including the larger display setup and additional blind-spot visualization features.

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

This looks like a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory and enough deal activity to make comparison shopping worthwhile.

• Deal availability: 39.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,765 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.90% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $36,391, 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 $36,391 sits slightly below last year's $43,269.

That price drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend more heavily on condition, mileage, and trim choice than on broad market momentum alone.

If you keep the vehicle clean, well maintained, and equipped with desirable features, you’ll be better positioned when it’s time to sell. 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 2025 Kia Telluride earns a five-star overall rating in crash tests performed by NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS.

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

Kia bundles its advanced driver assistance systems under Drive Wise, and the standard list is extensive. You get 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, and safe exit assist.

Every trim also comes standard with Highway Driving Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control and lane-centering assist into a semi-autonomous highway system. 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.

The main caveat is that lane-centering assist can be frustrating on curving roads, so you may want to test that system carefully before buying.

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:

• 39.4% 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 15.90% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It combines strong safety ratings with a comfortable, road-trip-friendly driving experience.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $36,285, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $36,391 average.
• It feels especially complete and polished, with impressive technology and strong value.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of current market availability, safety, and family-friendly capability, the 2025 is the better default choice. If you’re focused on saving a little money and want a very similar overall package, the 2024 is the sensible alternative to compare closely.
