What Is It?
The 2025 Kia Telluride arriving in the UAE is a seven-seat petrol sedan that brings generous passenger capacity to buyers who need family utility without stepping up to a full-size SUV. Under the bonnet it produces 291 hp, pairs with an automatic transmission and drives the front wheels, delivering a brisk 0–100 km/h time of 8.5 seconds. The combination of seating for seven and sedan packaging positions it as a comfortable long-distance family mover for city and highway travel across the Emirates.
Design & Exterior
On the outside the Telluride presents a commanding, road-focused profile that suits wide UAE highways and urban boulevards alike, with proportions engineered for interior space rather than compact city parking. The sedan silhouette makes for lower aerodynamic drag compared with taller body styles, which helps at sustained highway speeds between Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the northern Emirates. Buyers should consider paint and trim choices that hold up under strong sun and occasional sand exposure typical of the region.
Interior & Comfort
Inside, the seven-seat layout prioritises passenger comfort for school runs, motorway journeys and weekend trips to the desert fringe. The cabin is intended to accommodate adults in the first two rows and provide usable third-row seating for children or shorter adults, while luggage capacity will depend on how the seats are configured. Given the UAE’s high ambient temperatures, a robust air‑conditioning system and cabin ventilation are essential for sustained comfort on long drives and during hot daytime conditions.
Performance & Engine
The petrol engine’s 291 hp output gives the Telluride lively performance for highway overtakes and full-load cruising, with the automatic transmission smoothing shifts for stop‑start traffic in city centres. Front‑wheel drive delivers predictable handling and generally better fuel economy than heavier all‑wheel or four‑wheel drive alternatives, but it is less suited for serious off‑road driving or soft sand. Expect fuel consumption to reflect a powerful petrol engine and to be influenced by heavy A/C use and high ambient temperatures common in the UAE.
Safety & Tech Features
As a seven-seat family vehicle, safety and driver assistance are important considerations; prospective buyers should verify the exact safety and infotainment fitment in UAE trims before purchase. Confirmations to seek include the number of airbags, anti‑lock braking, stability control, and any active driver aids offered in regional specifications, as well as connectivity and navigation features useful for inter‑emirate travel.
Why Buy It in the UAE?
The Telluride suits UAE buyers who need seating for larger families and comfortable highway performance without the bulk or fuel penalty of a larger SUV. Its petrol powertrain and automatic transmission are well matched to the mix of urban commuting and long-distance driving common in the Emirates, and front‑wheel drive keeps ownership and running characteristics straightforward in everyday conditions.
Price Range
The 2025 Kia Telluride starts in the UAE from AED 78,750. Buyers should budget separately for insurance, registration, optional packages and running costs such as petrol and servicing to reflect local driving patterns and climate.
