2020 telluride towing

The 2020 Kia Telluride is already one of the most recognizable SUVs on the roads near Leland. Although it’s best known for offering affordable luxury in a spacious three-row package, the Kia Telluride towing capacity and performance specs prove that this high-end Kia SUV has serious staying power.

So, how much can a Kia Telluride tow? No matter which trim or drivetrain configuration you settle on, you’ll have a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. That means you can easily pull a camper, an RV, a ski boat, or just about anything else you’ll need to plan unforgettable adventures.

A Closer Look at the Kia Telluride Performance Specs

Every Kia Telluride SUV comes standard with a 3.8 liter Lambda DOHC 24-valve V6 engine that delivers 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy will vary depending on the drivetrain that you select:

  • Fuel Economy (FWD) – 20 mpg city / 26 mpg highway / 23 mpg in combined settings
  • Fuel Economy (AWD) – 19 mpg city / 24 mpg highway / 21 mpg in combined settings

An 8-speed automatic transmission with Sportmatic™ is standard across the whole lineup, and all-wheel drive is available in every trim.

Gasoline Direct Injection, Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT), and 4-wheel disc brakes allow the Telluride to respond to your every whim, but don’t just take our word for it. Find out what the experts had to say!
