• LX: The entry trim starts the lineup with the 3.8-liter V6, eight-speed automatic, and a strong standard safety suite, making it the value-focused starting point.

• EX: A well-rounded choice that builds on the lineup with more comfort and convenience equipment.
• SX: This trim brings the larger digital display setup and more premium tech, making it a strong pick if you want a more upscale cabin experience.

What Kia Telluride do most buyers choose?

The Kia Telluride years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right trim, mileage, and price. They also sit close enough to the newest models to keep the Telluride’s core appeal intact.

What is the Kia Telluride's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the lineup, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. Several recent model years have seen double-digit drops, so you may find stronger value now than you would have a year ago. The smallest changes are still negative, which means prices are easing rather than rising.

The 2023, 2020, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Kia Telluride now or wait for the next model?

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Every 2025 Telluride features a 3.8-liter V6 engine that generates 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, with power sent via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
• Tech: With SX and SX Prestige trim (and their X-Line and X-Pro counterparts), you’ll get a 12.3-inch digital driver display that lives next to a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system under a single piece of glass, and a 10-inch head-up display complements them when you get a Telluride SX Prestige.
• Safety: For the 2025 model year, every Telluride trim level comes standard with Highway Driving Assist, and on higher trim levels, it adds a lane-change assist function.
• Starting price: You can drive home in a new Telluride LX for $37,805, which is the sticker price, not a negotiated number.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2028 inventory to mature.
