Shopping a Kia Telluride 2025 is different from shopping a ten-year-old SUV, because almost nothing is worn out yet and the questions that matter are not about condition. They are about configuration. Two Tellurides can wear the same EX badge, sit at the same price, and differ on the two things that will shape your ownership: which wheels get the power, and how many people can legally sit in it. Neither is printed on the tailgate. Orlando Preowned is an independent, community-focused dealership at 3701 W. Colonial Drive, Orlando, FL 32808, where nothing gets a price until it earns the standard behind Orlando's Most Thoroughly Inspected Pre-Owned Vehicles, and the current selection sits on the used Kia Telluride inventory page or on Search Used Vehicles. Check One: Kia Telluride 2025 Drivetrain — FWD or AWD The Telluride looks like it should be all-wheel drive. It has 8 inches of ground clearance, a squared-off body and rugged trim packages further up the range. But all-wheel drive is optional on this model, not standard, and a 2025 EX we listed is specifically front-wheel drive — the spec sheet says so in plain language. For Central Florida that is rarely a real limitation. There is no snow to deal with, front-drive handles summer rain perfectly well, and it costs less to service. The point is not that front-drive is wrong. The point is that you should know which one you are buying before you sign, because the badge will not tell you and the price often will not either. Check Two: Seven Seats or Eight The Telluride is sold both ways. With second-row captain's chairs it seats seven; with a second-row bench it seats eight. The window sticker on the 2025 EX lists both passenger capacities in different places, which is exactly why this is worth verifying on the individual vehicle rather than assuming. It matters more than it sounds: captain's chairs give easier walk-through access to the back, while the bench is the only version that carries eight. Second-row legroom measures 42.4 inches either way, which is generous. Third-row legroom is 31.4 inches — fine for children and shorter adults, tight for a grown adult on a long drive. That is the honest read. Check Three: What a Kia Telluride 2025 Costs Used This is where a nearly new three-row makes its case. As of August 2026 a 2025 Telluride EX was listed at $35,697 against a $38,650 average market price, with 27,615 miles and a CARFAX One-Owner history. Someone else absorbed the first year of depreciation on an SUV that still has most of its life in front of it. Prices move as inventory turns weekly, so treat that as a snapshot and confirm before you drive over. What does not change is the structure of the deal: $0 hidden dealer fees — no documentation fee, no dealer prep, no e-file fee, on any vehicle. Space, Towing and Running Costs Cargo behind the third row is 21 cubic feet, which grows to 46 with that row folded and 87 with both rows down. Properly equipped it is rated to tow 5,000 pounds. Power comes from a 3.8-liter V6 with an 8-speed automatic, rated 20 city and 26 highway from an 18.8-gallon tank — ordinary numbers for a 4,134-pound three-row, and worth budgeting for honestly rather than hoping otherwise. At 196.9 inches long with a 38.8-foot turning circle, it is a big vehicle in a downtown garage. Compare it against the rest of our three-row SUVs and then book a test drive with the car seats you actually use. How Orlando Preowned Backs a Used Telluride Every vehicle clears a 125-point inspection before it is listed and comes with a free CARFAX report, with CARFAX 1-Owner history on many. On eligible vehicles a 3-month/3,000-mile warranty applies through the certified pre-owned program, while off-lease vehicles carry a stronger 6-month/6,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty — worth asking about on a low-mileage recent-year SUV, since that is often how they arrive. The only costs added to the price are Florida's required sales tax, title and registration. We serve families across Orlando, Winter Park, Kissimmee and Lake Nona with English- and Spanish-speaking staff. Read Customer Reviews, call (407) 295-5565, or reach the team through Contact Us — and ask them to confirm the drivetrain and seat count on the exact vehicle before you commit. Frequently Asked Questions Is the 2025 Kia Telluride all-wheel drive? Not always. All-wheel drive is optional on the Telluride rather than standard, and the 2025 EX listed here is front-wheel drive according to its spec sheet. Because the badge does not indicate drivetrain, confirm it on the individual vehicle before buying. In Central Florida front-wheel drive is rarely a limitation — there is no snow, and it costs less to maintain. Call (407) 295-5565 and the team will check the sticker with you. Does the Kia Telluride seat seven or eight? Both configurations exist. With second-row captain's chairs the Telluride seats seven; with a second-row bench it seats eight. The 2025 EX window sticker lists both capacities in different sections, so verify the specific vehicle rather than assuming. Second-row legroom is 42.4 inches in either layout, and third-row legroom is 31.4 inches — comfortable for children, tight for adults on long trips. How much cargo space does a 2025 Telluride have? Cargo volume is 21 cubic feet behind the third row, 46 cubic feet with the third row folded, and 87 cubic feet with both rear rows down. Properly equipped it tows up to 5,000 pounds. The 3.8-liter V6 and 8-speed automatic are rated 20 MPG city and 26 highway from an 18.8-gallon tank, with a curb weight of 4,134 pounds. Are there dealer fees on a used Telluride at Orlando Preowned? No. Orlando Preowned charges $0 hidden dealer fees — no documentation fee, no dealer prep fee and no e-file fee, on every vehicle and every transaction. The only additions are Florida's required sales tax, title transfer and vehicle registration, which are government charges collected by every dealership in the state. The full breakdown is on the zero dealer fees page, or reach out through Contact Us.
Best Gas Mileage Used Cars: Why the Smallest Car Isn't the Answer
Almost everyone shopping for the best gas mileage used cars starts by filtering for something small, which is a reasonable instinct and a badly outdated one. Two 2025 Toyotas we listed make the point without argument. A RAV4 Hybrid — a compact SUV weighing 3,690 pounds — is rated 41 city and 38 highway, for 39 combined. A Corolla XSE, a smaller and lighter sedan, is rated 31 city and 40 highway. The SUV wins in town and ties on the road, despite carrying more of everything. Size stopped predicting fuel economy years ago. Orlando Preowned is an independent, community-focused dealership at 3701 W. Colonial Drive, Orlando, FL 32808, where nothing gets a price until it earns the standard behind Orlando's Most Thoroughly Inspected Pre-Owned Vehicles, and Search Used Vehicles shows what is listed at any given time. What Actually Decides the Best Gas Mileage Used Cars The powertrain does, and almost nothing else. A hybrid recovers energy every time you slow down, which is why its city figure holds up while a conventional engine's collapses. That single mechanism outweighs several hundred pounds of body and a taller shape. It is also why shopping by category leads people wrong: filter for "small car" and you will skip past hybrid SUVs and midsize hybrid sedans that use less fuel than the compact you were about to buy. Filter by fuel type instead, and check the fuel type line on the window sticker rather than trusting the badge — recent Toyotas in particular carry no Hybrid suffix at all. MPG and MPGe Are Not the Same Unit Here is where search results get genuinely confusing. Electric vehicles are rated in MPGe, not MPG, and the two are not interchangeable. MPGe converts electricity into the energy content of a gallon of gasoline so different vehicles can be compared on efficiency — it does not mean the vehicle uses gasoline, and it does not translate directly into what you will spend. A 2024 Hummer EV Pickup listed at 59 MPGe city is not "a 59 MPG car"; what it costs to run depends on your electricity rate and whether you can charge at home. Ranking an electric vehicle against a gasoline one by putting those two numbers side by side is comparing different units. Our EV inventory section keeps them separate for that reason. Best Gas Mileage Used Cars: City or Highway? Most listings lead with one figure, and the split underneath it matters more. A 2025 Prius Limited is rated 52 city and 52 highway — flat, unusually. The RAV4 Hybrid runs 41 city and 38 highway, stronger in town. The gasoline Corolla inverts that shape entirely at 31 city and 40 highway, because a conventional engine is at its worst in stop-and-go and its best at a steady cruise. So the right number depends on your week. If you commute on surface streets around Winter Garden or sit in traffic on Colonial, read the city figure. If your miles are open highway, the gap between a hybrid and a good gasoline car narrows considerably. What to Check Before You Commit Two honest notes that matter more on this topic than any other. First, our batteries-for-life coverage applies to standard 12-volt batteries only — hybrid and EV high-voltage battery packs are explicitly excluded, so ask about the traction battery's condition and remaining manufacturer coverage on any hybrid or electric vehicle. Second, real-world economy drifts from the sticker with tire size, load and how you drive, so treat EPA figures as a ranking tool rather than a promise. Browse the shortlist on our fuel-efficient cars page, then book a test drive on your actual commute rather than a loop around the block. How Orlando Preowned Backs a Fuel-Efficient Used Car Every vehicle clears a 125-point inspection before it is listed and comes with a free CARFAX report, with CARFAX 1-Owner history on many. On eligible vehicles a 3-month/3,000-mile warranty applies through the certified pre-owned program, while off-lease vehicles carry a stronger 6-month/6,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. Pricing works the same way here as anywhere on the lot: $0 hidden dealer fees — no documentation fee, no dealer prep, no e-file fee, on any vehicle, with only Florida's required sales tax, title and registration added.

A 2025 RAV4 Hybrid, a compact SUV weighing 3,690 pounds, is rated 41 MPG city and 38 highway for 39 combined, while a smaller 2025 Corolla XSE with a conventional gasoline engine is rated 31 city and 40 highway. The hybrid SUV uses less fuel in town despite being the larger, heavier vehicle. What is the difference between MPG and MPGe? MPG measures how far a gasoline vehicle travels per gallon of fuel. MPGe is an efficiency equivalent used for electric vehicles — it converts electricity into the energy content of a gallon of gasoline so vehicles can be compared, but it does not mean the vehicle burns fuel and it does not translate directly into running cost. What an EV costs depends on your electricity rate and whether you can charge at home. Should I read the city or the highway MPG figure? Read whichever matches your driving. Hybrids are usually strongest in the city because they recover energy when slowing down — a 2025 RAV4 Hybrid is rated 41 city against 38 highway. Conventional gasoline cars invert that, like a 2025 Corolla XSE at 31 city and 40 highway. A 2025 Prius Limited is unusual in holding 52 in both. For stop-and-go Orlando commuting, the city number is the honest one. Does the battery warranty cover a used hybrid or EV? Our batteries-for-life coverage applies to standard 12-volt batteries only — hybrid and EV high-voltage battery packs are excluded. On any hybrid or electric vehicle, ask about the traction battery's condition and what manufacturer coverage remains.
