New Kia Telluride for Sale near San Mateo, CA
The 2025 Kia Telluride might not be one of the newest three-row SUVs on the block but it remains one of the best.
Family-friendly, midsize three-row SUVs are a favorite of Americans, and nearly every mainstream car company offers one. Kia has three, and the Telluride is the largest of its gas-powered models (the electric-only EV9 is slightly larger). The Telluride debuted in 2020 to critical acclaim and commercial success, and since then has received several updates but not a redesign. We took a 2025 Kia Telluride on a 1,200-mile family road trip to Northern California and Yosemite, and remain impressed with this stylish and capable Kia.
Verdict: Aging technology caused some irritation during a five-day road trip in the 2025 Kia Telluride. Otherwise, the Telluride was perfectly suited to long-distance travel–whether rolling down an Interstate, roaming a major city, or romping down trails near a national park.

The Kia Telluride has garnered strong praise from owners across all model years for its luxurious features, spacious interior, and excellent value. Many appreciate its smooth ride and numerous technology options, noting that it offers a premium feel at an attractive price. However, some drivers have mentioned a few downsides, such as the ride feeling a bit minivan-like and the absence of features like wireless Android Auto in certain models. Overall, the Telluride stands out as a top choice for families, blending comfort and safety effectively.

What people say
The Telluride had everything that the premium luxury cars have except the high price tag. Time will tell whether they are equal in quality and resale value.
Surprisingly, smooth ride, yet firm enough to not feel like a boat floating. Better ride than my Lincoln Aviator. Plenty of pick up but with smooth shifting. Plenty of seat adjustments to find the right spot. Im 57 155, 75 yo and a car fanatic. Its loaded with tech. But I love that. The drivers seat is a bit firm but comfortable and supportive. I researched for 6 months. I compared against all luxury midsize SUVs under 65k. Ive owned most all those luxury sports cars over the years. This is the best Ive ever owned. (Change the inside door handles, they dont fit my hand and are the only thing I can pick on that does not fit me perfectly). I love driving it, so well designed, fit and finish is excellent. Suggestion....add some real wood touches in future designes.
Love this car. I purchased in the S model. The only thing I do not like about it is the rims other then that the car is great.
Everything you need, plus more. Luxury and comfort in one suv.
I like all the features this vehicle has to offer.
