2022 Kia Telluride SX AWD â" SX Prestige Package, Nightfall Edition Package, Towing Package. LAMBDA II 3.8L V-6 direct injection, DOHC, D-CVVT variable valve control, regular gasoline engine with 291HP paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive; the V6 delivers confident performance with thoughtful fuel economy for an SUV of this size.
SX Prestige Package transforms the Tellurides interior into a more sumptuous, passenger-focused environmentâ"bringing enhanced comfort, refined materials and convenient tech that make long drives feel shorter and more enjoyable.
Nightfall Edition Package sharpens the Tellurideâs curb appeal with a more aggressive, monochrome styling direction so your SUV stands out with a purposeful, modern presence on the road.
Towing Package equips the Telluride for confident hauling, tuning suspension and connection points so you can tow with greater stability and peace of mind when carrying trailers or outdoor gear.
Smart device mirroring keeps your phoneâs essential apps displayed through the Tellurideâs infotainment, making navigation, music and calls easier to access while helping you stay focused on driving.
Hands-on steering assist with lane centering acts like a steady co-pilot on highways, maintaining speed and lane position to reduce fatigue and make longer trips more relaxed while still keeping you engaged.
The active blind spot system adds an extra layer of protection when changing lanes, alerting you to hidden vehicles and intervening to help prevent unsafe maneuvers so lane changes are more confident.
Forward collision mitigation is constantly scanning ahead and ready to respond, helping slow or prepare the vehicle to reduce the likelihood or severity of frontal impacts for greater peace of mind.
Front pedestrian impact prevention helps the vehicle detect and respond to pedestrians in its path, providing an additional safeguard in busy urban and suburban driving conditions.
Automatic curve slowdown cruise control uses map and camera data to anticipate corners, easing speed automatically for smoother, less tiring highway travel and improved overall efficiency.
The rear camera gives a clear view behind the vehicle, making parking and reversing maneuvers safer and simpler by revealing obstacles you might otherwise miss.
Lane departure prevention steps in when your Telluride begins to drift, subtly correcting course to help you stay centered and reduce the chance of unintended lane excursions.
Rear collision mitigation keeps an eye on whatâs behind you and prepares the vehicle and occupants if a rear impact becomes likely, adding confidence when stopping or parking in busy areas.
The 2022 Kia Telluride SX AWD blends strong V6 performance, upscale comfort from the Prestige options, bold Nightfall styling and practical towing capability into a well-rounded family SUV

So Far So Good
by Bob N on 3/17/2026 4:23:53 AM
Pros: 1.) Ride and a quiet cabin rival any luxury sedan I've owned. 2.) Comfortable, stylish, spacious cabin. 3.) Loaded with the latest technology and all the bells and whistles i.e. surround cameras, power inverters, stop & lock, control of radio, navigation, and climate control have direct button control instead of going through endless layers of menus on a screen. Heated and cooled seats 1st and 2nd rows ect.......ect.....ect. 4.) Smooth transmission and strong brakes 5.) Great visibility 6.) Overall competes with the luxury SUV makers (BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Lexas) in every way except about 20k cheaper. Cons: 1.) Only one engine available, although it is competent with 291 hp I would prefer and engine with more acceleration and torque. I question its performance towing a trailer up a steep grade. 2.) The second row captain chairs are heated/cooled but are not power In summation: The vehicle provides looks, styling, performance and comfort all in a reasonably priced package. So far depending on how dependable it proves to be I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. My best recommendation is for you to test drive one and see for yourself! - 5.0
100% Satisfied
by Alan on 1/18/2026 4:11:07 PM
I purchased my Telluride shortly after it was introduced. I have now owned it for almost 7 years. It has about 86,000 miles on it. I have had NOT ONE ISSUE with my Telluride over these 7 years. Not one item has broken. No squeaks or rattles. All the interior and exterior trim pieces are in great shape. Love the engine and transmission. Good power, smooth shifting and I average 24 mpg. Love it.
