Exterior Dimensions

The body is 199.2 inches long on a 116.9-inch wheelbase, and roof height is the figure that varies.

Dimension	Figure	Basis
Overall length	199.2 in	All trims, both powertrains
Wheelbase	116.9 in	All trims
Width	78.3 in	All trims
Height, LX	69.5 in	Without roof rails

Height, X-Pro	71.5 in	The tallest configuration
Ground clearance	7.4 in, 9.1 in X-Pro	Gas; hybrid is 7.4 in
Turning radius	19.6 ft	19.5 ft on X-Pro

If the vehicle lives in an older Hamburg or Reading garage, the number to measure against is 71.5 inches for an X-Pro and 70.5 for an X-Line, not the 69.9 that most trims carry.

Interior Dimensions and Cargo Volume

Three rows, and 22.3 cubic feet still behind the third one.

Measure	Telluride	Telluride Hybrid
Cargo behind 3rd row	22.3 cu ft	21.3 cu ft
Cargo behind 2nd row	48.7 cu ft	47.7 cu ft
Maximum cargo	89.3 cu ft	88.3 cu ft
Total interior volume	180.6 cu ft	178.3 cu ft
Front legroom	41.4 in, both powertrains
Second-row legroom	43.0 in	41.4 in
Third-row legroom	32.1 in, both powertrains
Third-row headroom	37.4 in, unchanged by any sunroof
Seating	8 on LX, 7 elsewhere	7, all trims

Front headroom is 41.2 inches without a sunroof and 40 inches with either the single or the dual panel. Second-row headroom holds at 40.4 inches until the dual sunroof, which brings it to 38.9. Shoulder room runs 61.6 inches in front and 55.3 in the third row.

Weight and Capacity

Measure	Figure
Curb weight, LX	4,381 to 4,420 lb
Curb weight, X-Pro SX	4,729 to 4,736 lb
Curb weight, Hybrid EX front-drive	4,661 to 4,700 lb
GVWR, front-wheel drive	6,063 lb gas, 6,283 lb hybrid
GVWR, all-wheel drive	6,261 lb gas, 6,504 lb hybrid
Maximum towing	5,000 lb gas, 4,500 lb hybrid, properly equipped

Wheels, Tires and Brakes

Three wheel sizes across the range, and the biggest is not on the most capable trim.

Trim	Wheel	Tire
LX	8.0 x 18 alloy	P235/65 R18
S, EX, SX, SX Prestige	8.0 x 20 alloy	P255/50 R20
X-Line trims	8.5 x 21	265/45 R21
X-Pro SX and X-Pro SX Prestige	7.5 x 18	255/60 R18 all-terrain

The X-Pro runs the smallest wheel and the tallest sidewall in the range, which is the choice that suits frost-heaved secondary roads across Berks County and the gravel approaches to a trailhead. Braking is by ventilated discs at both ends, 345 mm front and 325 mm rear, with an electronic parking brake. Steering is rack-mounted and motor-driven.

Fuel Economy

Six EPA-rated configurations, from 19 mpg combined to 35.

Configuration	City	Highway	Combined
Gas, front-wheel drive	20	26	22
Gas, all-wheel drive	18	24	20
Gas, X-Pro	17	22	19
Hybrid EX, front-wheel drive	34	36	35
Hybrid SX, front-wheel drive	32	34	33
Hybrid, all-wheel drive	30	32	31

Figures are EPA estimates (fueleconomy.gov). Kia puts total range for the front-drive Hybrid EX at 637 miles, which covers a round trip from Hamburg to Wilkes-Barre and back several times over on one tank.

Key Features by Trim

Feature	Starts on
12.3-inch touchscreen, navigation, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto	LX, standard
Tri-zone automatic climate control	LX, standard
Second-row captain's chairs	S
Power-folding mirrors	EX
Dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays	SX
Meridian 14-speaker audio with 10-inch subwoofer	SX
Heated and ventilated front seats	SX
12.0-inch head-up display	SX Prestige
Terrain Mode with snow, mud and sand	X-Line EX, all-wheel drive only

Safety Equipment

Ten airbags and six driver-assistance systems are standard on every trim.

Standard across the range: Forward Collision Warning, High Beam Assist, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Safe Exit Assist, Rear Occupant Alert with radar sensors, and Smart Cruise Control with stop and go. The airbag count is ten, including a front-row center airbag between the driver and front passenger. Highway Driving Assist 1.5 runs on LX through EX; SX and above carry Highway Driving Assist 2.0 with a Blind-Spot View Monitor and a Surround View Monitor.

Warranty Coverage

Coverage	Term
Powertrain limited warranty	10 years or 100,000 miles, original owner
New vehicle limited warranty	5 years or 60,000 miles
Limited anti-perforation warranty	5 years or 100,000 miles
Roadside assistance	5 years or 60,000 miles

The powertrain term begins when the 5-year or 60,000-mile basic warranty expires and covers the engine, transmission, axles and differentials.

What These Numbers Mean in Practice

Three figures do most of the work in this market.

The 311 lb-ft plateau from 1,700 rpm is what a loaded Telluride uses on the long climbs along Route 61 with a merge waiting at the top. The 22.3 cubic feet behind the third row is what decides whether a full row of passengers and a weekend of gear fit at the same time on a run to Blue Marsh Lake. And the 5,000-pound rating is the ceiling for a trailer, which is a real weekend pattern here rather than a spec-sheet flourish. Buyers coming from Reading, Allentown or Selinsgrove tend to test all three on the same drive.
