About Kia Telluride

The Kia Telluride is a full-size three-row SUV that punches well above its price point — offering a cabin quality, feature set, and driving refinement that regularly draws comparisons with European rivals costing significantly more. The 2026 Telluride starts from AED 162,750 in the UAE.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: the interior design and material quality are remarkable for the segment — soft-touch surfaces, wide seats, and genuinely usable third-row space set it apart from most rivals. Resale value in the UAE is among the strongest of any Korean SUV.
  • Cons: the naturally aspirated engine, while smooth, lacks the low-end torque that turbocharged rivals in this price bracket offer. The exterior styling is conservative by current market standards, which may not suit buyers wanting a more assertive road presence.

Market Value

The Kia Telluride retains approximately 59% of its value after five years — ahead of the Toyota Highlander at 58%, making it one of the stronger-holding Korean SUVs in the UAE market and a sensible choice for buyers who factor in total ownership cost.

Buyers also consider the Telluride frequently cross-shop the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Audi Q5 — drawn by a similar premium-feel cabin experience, though the Telluride delivers more interior space and seating capacity at a noticeably lower price point than any of those three.

Frequently asked questions

Both are full-size three-row SUVs in a similar price range, but the Telluride edges the Highlander on interior quality and retained value — approximately 59% versus 58% after five years. The Highlander offers a hybrid option for buyers focused on fuel costs, which the Telluride does not.
Moving from the 3.8L LX STD AT to the 3.8L SX PRM AT 7-Seater brings quilted leather upholstery, a larger navigation display, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon audio, and a more comprehensive driver assistance suite — a substantial comfort upgrade rather than just a cosmetic one.
The Telluride returns 8 Km/L on a combined cycle, which is broadly in line with other large naturally aspirated petrol SUVs in this class. Buyers seeking lower fuel bills may want to consider the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, though it comes without the Telluride's interior size advantage.
The Telluride's third row is one of the more genuinely usable in its class — adults of average height can sit comfortably for shorter journeys, which is a real differentiator over rivals like the BMW X3 or Audi Q5 that either lack a third row or offer a token one.
The overlap is mostly about interior premium feel — buyers who want soft-touch surfaces, quality audio, and refined driving manners often consider all four. The Telluride's advantage is significantly more seating capacity and boot space at a lower price; the European trio's advantage is badge prestige and turbocharged engine options.
