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 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 while often costing less than brand-new examples.

What is the Kia Telluride's resale value?

The Telluride’s prices are moving down across the board, which is good news if you’re shopping used. The double-digit drops on several recent model years create more room for value, especially if you want a newer SUV without paying new-car pricing. The smaller declines on the remaining years show that some versions are holding value a bit better than others.

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

• 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.
• Safety: For the 2025 model year, every Telluride trim level comes standard with Highway Driving Assist.
• Starting price: you can drive home in a new Telluride LX for $37,805.
