If you’re looking for a well-rounded three-row SUV that offers performance, luxury, technology, and style, you can’t go wrong with the Kia Telluride. You don’t have to take our word for it, either. The respected automotive publication Car and Driver gave the 2025 model a 10/10 rating and named it an Editor's Choice, surpassing competitors like the Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and VW Atlas.

We’re proud to offer the Kia Telluride for sale here at Parkway Family Kia because we know how versatile it can be—perfect for transporting bulky cargo, getting large families around town, or heading into rural areas for outdoor adventures. To ensure there’s a model for every driver, Kia offers the 2025 Telluride in a wide variety of trim levels, from the entry-level LX to the top-tier SX Prestige X-Pro. Reviewing the full list can feel intimidating if you’re unsure which one is best for you, but that's why our team is here to help.

Today, we’re taking a deep dive into one specific trim: the Telluride SX Prestige X-Line. Positioned nearly at the top of the lineup, just one step down from the SX Prestige X-Pro, this trim combines many great features from other trims, creating a well-rounded SUV ready for almost anything. Let’s explore what this trim offers to help you decide whether it’s the right one for you.

Spacious Telluride Cabin

Regardless of the trim you choose, you’ll fall in love with the Telluride’s spacious interior the moment you see it. Passengers in all three rows have plenty of room to stretch out and get comfortable, with space left for cargo. Separate temperature controls for the driver, front passenger, and rear seats ensure everyone stays cozy, no matter the weather. In all trims except the LX, EX, and SX, second-row captain’s chairs are standard, reducing total capacity from eight to seven but enhancing second-row comfort.

Premium Interior

Climb the Telluride’s trim ladder, and you gain more creature comforts. Upgrade to the S trim or higher, and you get heated front seats. At the EX trim, ventilation is added to the front seats to keep you cool in the summer. Rear passengers benefit from integrated window sunshades, while the front passenger can adjust their position with an eight-way power-adjustable seat with two-way lumbar support. Starting at the EX X-Line, a heated steering wheel becomes standard to warm your hands on cold mornings.

The SX trims elevate comfort to luxury. They include a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with four-way lumbar adjustment, thigh extension, and smart posture control, plus a memory function to save your ideal position. Dual power sunroofs and interior mood lighting with 64 colors create the perfect cabin atmosphere, day or night.

The SX Prestige trim enhances this further by adding heating and ventilation to the second-row seats, ensuring rear passengers are as comfortable as those up front. It also includes Nappa leather seat trim and a SynTex suede headliner, making the cabin feel even more prestigious.

Rugged X-Line Capability

The cabin comfort explains why the SX Prestige trim is worth considering, but why add the X-Line? Perhaps you want rugged capability and exclusive styling to showcase your adventurous side. Some features, like all-wheel drive for extra traction on wet roads and loose surfaces, are standard on the higher trims of the Telluride, while a self-leveling rear suspension, standard on the SX trim and up, helps with towing. For other features, you need an X-Line or X-Pro trim.

The X-Line and X-Pro trims feature a bit more ground clearance, improving approach and departure angles. They also include high-utility roof rails and a dedicated Tow Mode to support your adventures. Beyond these practical upgrades, they offer exclusive styling, from gloss black trim to black lower door moldings and exterior badges. Inside, you can choose black leather or an exclusive Terracotta leather trim for a natural, elegant look.

Upgrading to the SX Prestige X-Pro offers additional benefits, but they may not be necessary unless you frequently camp and need top-tier off-road equipment. Features like all-terrain tires, slightly improved approach and departure angles, and an extra 500 lbs of towing capacity beyond the base 5,000 lb capacity may not be worth the extra cost for everyone.

Advanced Technology

When it comes to technology, the SX Prestige X-Line has everything you need. In addition to the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen display included across the lineup, you’ll get a matching 12.3-inch instrument display instead of the base 4.2-inch screen, plus a 10-inch head-up display that projects onto the lower windshield and is exclusive to three SX Prestige trims. The auto-dimming rearview mirror on these trims doubles as a display, switching to a camera-based view if the traditional mirror is blocked.

Keeping devices charged is easy with USB ports in all three rows and a wireless phone charger up front. Connect a device to play your favorite music, and you’ll hear it clearly through a Harman Kardon premium audio system with 10 speakers. For parents, the Driver Talk feature uses the Telluride's speakers and a microphone to facilitate easy communication with backseat passengers.

Wide Array of Standard Safety Features

The 2025 Telluride boasts a longer list of standard safety and driver-assist features than most vehicles. All trims include the following features at no extra cost, providing comprehensive protection in all of the most common driving scenarios:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction Turning Detection
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
• Park Distance Warning-Rear
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning
• Lane Departure Warning
• Lane Keeping Assist
• Lane Following Assist
• Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go - Curve 
• Intelligent Speed Limit Assist
• Driver Attention Warning
• Highway Driving Assist 1.5

This robust array of features helps you drive with confidence. However, the SX trims add advanced upgrades for more scenarios. The blind-spot detection system includes a feature for exiting parallel parking spaces and a side camera view for switching lanes. The forward collision system adds support to prevent collisions when passing, plus evasive steering assist. The adaptive cruise control is upgraded with machine learning to improve over time, and you get the enhanced Highway Driving Assist 2.0.

For parking, you get front and rear distance warnings. In reverse, the side mirrors tilt down for a better view, and active collision avoidance can intervene if needed. In tight spaces with low-lying obstacles, a 360-degree surround-view monitor provides a complete view around the vehicle. This gives you a bit more support in more niche driving situations, further improving your safety on the road.
