Hi, 2 questions for Telluride owners?

4935 Views 6 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  cbull
Looking at a loaded up Highlander Palisade or Telluride. I would prefer a front-wheel drive only but at this time I think that's going to be near impossible to find a fully loaded Telluride without AWD. What kind of average mpg are you seeing with all-wheel drives? And also what are your thoughts about the key pad not having the remote start option? I don't want to pay for the yearly app fee.
Thanks much!

Welcome @cbull

I have seen real-world Telluride AWD & FWD figures that come close to the EPA-estimated numbers. Hopefully that helps.

MPG: Kia Telluride AWD
Regular Gasoline 21 combined city/highway MPG 19 city 24 highway 4.8 gals/100 miles

MPG: Kia Telluride FWD
Regular Gasoline 23 combined city/highway MPG 20 city 26 highway 4.3 gals/100 miles
Our MPG
Wife: around 23 MPG in mixed use
Me: Around 21 in mixed use.
Towing: varies by terrain.

Is yours all wheel drive or just front wheel drive?
AWD S model. We have mixed terrain here but generally no big hills, just gradual grades.
My SX with AWD and 3700 miles on the odometer is averaging 23 MPG city and 26 mpg highway. I got 13.7 MPG pulling my 5000 lb boat trailer. I am pleasantly surprised at the great gas mileage!
