2025 Kia Telluride Specs: Kia Telluride Engine Size & More

The Kia Telluride engine size is relatively large, displacing 3.8 liters. Both head and block are constructed from aluminum, and with a compression ratio of 13:0:1, it can run on unleaded, 87-octane gasoline or higher (though for such a high compression ratio, 93-octane may be the better choice). Check out the rest of the specs below, including the Kia Telluride horsepower, and consider if such specifications are adequate for your Flowood driving needs:

3.8L V6 Engine

  • Horsepower: 291 hp @ 6,000 rpm
  • Torque: 262 lb-ft of torque @ 5,200 rpm
  • Fuel capacity: 18.8 gallons
  • Maximum towing capacity: 5,000 – 5,500 pounds
  • Fuel efficiency (FWD): 20 city / 26 highway / 22 combined mpg
  • Fuel efficiency (AWD): 18 city / 23 highway / 20 combined mpg

2025 Kia Telluride 0-60 Time and Other Performance Specs

Unfortunately, the OEM hasn’t released conclusive figures on the Kia Telluride 0-60 times or top speed. However, considering that the Kia Telluride horsepower specs top out at 291 hp and it generates up to 262 lb-ft of torque, you can expect it to accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in approximately seven seconds. This is consistent with tests conducted by sources, such as Edmunds, Car & Driver, Motortrend, and U.S News & World Report, but consider checking out some additional online sources to learn more. Similarly, according to various sources, such as those above, the Kia Telluride top speed ranges from approximately 130 to 132 mph.

That being said, the best way to see if the Kia Telluride is right for you is to test it yourself! Schedule a test drive with Wilson KIA today, and start your 2025 with a brand-new Telluride. Test the Kia Telluride 0-60 times for yourself, and imagine driving one along the streets of Ridgeland.
