About this vehicle
The 2022 Kia Telluride EX stands out for its high-value proposition, offering numerous standard features that many competitors reserve for higher trims or costly options. Buyers get heated and ventilated front seats, navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a power moonroof—all included at this price point. Analytical shoppers who compare equipment lists and cost-per-feature will find the Telluride EX especially appealing. With standard leather seating, tri-zone automatic climate control, and advanced connectivity, it meets the needs of tech-savvy commuters and families alike. Those in climates like Lakeland, FL benefit from ventilated seating and rear air conditioning, which add tangible comfort for all three rows without additional outlay. The EX trim ensures buyers pay for real upgrades, not just badges. Under the hood, this SUV features a 3.8L V6 DOHC engine paired with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, balancing performance and value. The powertrain delivers strong, confident acceleration suitable for highway merging and loaded road trips, at a price-point where some rivals offer smaller or less refined engines. With EPA ratings of 19 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, owners benefit from reasonable fuel efficiency for a three-row SUV, translating to fewer stops at the pump and lower annual fuel costs, especially when compared to thirstier V8 competitors. Maintenance costs are kept manageable thanks to proven Kia reliability and accessible servicing. Safety value is another clear advantage with the Telluride EX, as critical features like ABS brakes, electronic stability control, dual front and side airbags, a knee airbag, and an emergency communication system come standard. Advanced systems such as brake assist, traction control, and a rearview camera are included without extra cost—equipment that some competitors list as optional or bundle into expensive packages. For families, the inclusion of a third-row airbag and rear reading lights means peace of mind and convenience are built-in, not upsold. The EX Premium Package further enhances the Telluride’s value, adding features like a power liftgate, heated steering wheel, illuminated entry, and illuminated scuff plates. Standard smart key with push button and remote start, power driver and passenger seats, and a navigation system translate into real-world convenience. With amenities like a power moonroof and rear air conditioning, the Telluride EX is designed for everyday comfort and connectivity, making it easier to get the whole family on the road quickly and comfortably. Compared to rivals like the Honda Pilot EX-L and Toyota Highlander XLE, the Telluride EX consistently includes features as standard that competitors offer only at higher price points or in more expensive packages. What’s included as standard equipment? Features like leather seating, navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, power moonroof, heated and ventilated front seats, and a power liftgate are all standard on the EX. Is this vehicle worth the price? Given the breadth of standard tech, comfort, and safety features, it delivers excellent value compared to segment norms.
