The Kia Telluride SUV Has Arrived in Lafayette

Selling new cars to families around New Iberia, Sterling Kia of Lafayette is excited to unveil the Kia Telluride. Available with eight seats, this sport utility vehicle has an impressive first-generation design.

Performance

The Kia Telluride has a six-cylinder engine has the Lambda platform that's engineered for powerful and efficient output. Upper limits for this 3.8L powertrain include 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. A gearbox with eight ratios is mated to this gasoline direct injection (GDI) propulsion unit. Instant gear changes are guaranteed by the classic Sportmatic Sports shifter.

The V6 engine also has a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. Front-wheel drive is standard, but you could spend some extra money on an all-wheel drive that has on-demand functions. Therefore, the drivetrain usually diverts most of the torque to the front wheels under normal driving circumstances. A lock also manages the Active AWD to overcome weather-related challenges. If the Telluride runs off course, the Torque Vectoring Cornering Control takes command of the brakes and steering. A 19.4-foot turning radius highlights the car's agile and nimble character.

This all-new Kia SUV boasts deluxe interior amenities for families around Youngsville that desire sophistication and comfort during a ride. Up to 64 colors are available for the Mood Lighting. The 7.0-inch TFT instrument display also has an attractive glow in the background. Some of the Telluride models have seats with the patented SOFINO appointment. Adjustable headrests are included in the second-row seats, and the third-row seats may be reclined and tilted.
