Kia Telluride Interior: Everything You Need to Know

The Telluride's interior is the best you'll find in the mid-size SUV segment for reasons relating to size/dimensions, features, colors and more.

Interior size is impressive to say the least, as someone coming from full-size SUV's like the Lexus LX, Cadillac Escalade and later a Chevrolet Suburban, that now wants most of that capability packaged in something cheaper, the Telluride really stands out. It actually slots between the mid-size and full-size segments and is reflected in the facts and and visuals I posted below for anyone still on the fence.

Option lists for colors, materials have been included to. Along with pictures of them. Its information that helped with my buying experience.

Even within the growing three row mid-size segment, its size stands out overall on paper. It did to me especially with other non-interior stuff i'm sold on.


In fact, you're better off seeing them in person if you haven't already. BEFORE you do, going through segments of Doug DeMuro's video covering the interior will arm you with the necessary knowledge to make the most of that in-person experience, as I have.


Interior features are plenty. I listed all of them below by trim (LX, S, EX & SX).

SX (with AWD) was my choice for the Harman Kardon system, Blind-spot View Monitor, Parking Distance Warning, Supervision, Head-Up Display, Mood Lighting and the rest of the bells and whistles it comes loaded with. Enough to not miss owning a full-size. Even if you don't plan on forking over $40k to start, interiors on the LX, S and EX cabins still offer a lot.

These attractive interior features also help the Telluride stand out from the rest:

• UVO link
• 8.0-inch Touch-Screen Display
• 6 USB Ports (5 Charging, 1 Media)
• One-Touch Sliding & Folding 2nd-Row Seats
• Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel
• Rear Occupant Alert (ROA)

I can't wait to see what interior configurations we get in the coming model years. More interior color options and better pairing of interior/exterior colors would be appreciated. Anyone who has gone through the Telluride configurator and/or seen them in person will realize this slight limitation. Broader customization can help Kia's bottom line and keep us happier
