Discovering the Perfect Match: Kia Telluride Trim Levels

The Kia Telluride continues to dominate the midsize three-row SUV segment, offering an unbeatable blend of style, space, and modern technology. The diverse lineup of Kia Telluride trim levels ensures a perfect match for every lifestyle, whether you need a practical family hauler or a luxurious commuter.

The Essential Baseline: LX and S

The Telluride lineup begins with the highly capable LX trim. It proves that an entry-level model doesn’t have to feel basic, coming standard with an expansive 12.3-inch touchscreen display, robust safety features, and comfortable seating for up to eight passengers.

Stepping up to the S trim introduces a touch of sportiness and convenience. Upgrades include:

  • 20-inch alloy wheels
  • Roof rails for extra cargo versatility
  • Second-row captain’s chairs (reducing capacity to seven but increasing comfort)
  • Heated front seats

The Balanced Family Choice: EX and SX

For many New York drivers, the EX trim hits the absolute sweet spot between value and upscale amenities. It reintroduces the eight-passenger bench configuration while elevating the cabin with genuine leather seat trim, ventilated front seats, and a smart power tailgate—a lifesaver when loading groceries during unpredictable winters.

The SX trim caters to technology enthusiasts. It treats the driver to a dual sunroof setup, a premium sound system, and enhanced driver-assistance technology like the Blind-Spot View Monitor.

Rugged Innovation: X-Line and X-Pro

If your weekend adventures take you along the paved roads, the rugged X-Line and X-Pro variants are designed for you. Available on higher trims, these packages add:

  • Increased ground clearance for rough terrain
  • Standard All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with a center-locking differential
  • Exclusive utility roof rails and bold exterior styling
  • All-terrain tires (exclusively on the X-Pro)

Pure Luxury: SX Prestige

At the apex of the lineup sits the SX Prestige. This trim transforms the Telluride into a bona-fide luxury vehicle, rivaling premium European brands. Drivers enjoy top-tier amenities such as premium Nappa leather upholstery, a 10-inch Head-Up Display, and heated and ventilated second-row seats to keep your passengers comfortable year-round.
