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: The Value of a Kia Telluride 2025 Used
This is where a nearly new three-row makes its case. A recent 2025 Telluride EX we listed came in below its average market price with 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. Listings turn over weekly, so check current inventory before you drive over. What does not change is the structure of the deal: every vehicle is sold with no hidden fees and no doc fee, and every fee on a purchase is disclosed before you sign.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. Eligible vehicles include a 3-month/3,000-mile OP CPO warranty 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. On applicable vehicles, the OP Protection Package adds a first service (oil change, tire rotation, fluid top-off, digital inspection and car wash) and lifetime discounted service at Orlando Auto Repair. 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 hidden fees on a used Telluride at Orlando Preowned?
No. Every vehicle is sold with no hidden fees and no doc fee, and every fee on a purchase is disclosed before you sign. The details are on the no hidden fees page, or reach out through Contact Us.
