What Kia Telluride do most buyers choose?

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

Used Telluride prices are down across every model year shown, which creates better opportunities for shoppers looking for value.

Even so, the spread between years remains orderly, with newer models still commanding higher prices and older ones offering lower entry points.

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?

• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $35,045. The Kia Telluride offers a roomy, upscale cabin that makes it especially appealing for family use.

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.
• 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.

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 the next model year's inventory to build up.
