The Kia Telluride EX Is an SUV Perfect for Nebraska Drivers

The Kia Telluride is the answer to your concerns about comfort and seating. The Telluride allows you to pack in eight passengers for your journeys around Nebraska or out of state. It’s designed for comfort, with luxury features that make certain no one feels they have a bad seat or a boring journey. Since being in Nebraska means we have to drive to get just about anywhere of note, we know that a reliable ride that can transport the whole crew is imperative, which is why we have the Kia Telluride for sale.

This SUV is competitively priced, too, costing less compared to others in its class, even though it often outdoes them. For drivers looking for an affordable purchase that still gives them what they need on the roads of Nebraska, the Kia Telluride is tough to beat. Today, we want to dive into just what makes this vehicle such an enviable ride; we also want to take a look at one of its specific trims, the EX, so you can see how the right trim choice can make all the difference. The EX trim offers a lot of impressive upgrades, and since the cost of a base Telluride is so economical, you won’t have to pay a lot for the trim, either. In fact, we bet you’ll be paying less for the well-equipped EX trim than the base trim of other vehicles in this class.

The Smooth Ride You Need No Matter the Destination

There’s plenty to talk about in terms of what a great engine allows you to do, and we soon will, but one aspect that’s underappreciated about the right kind of engine power is how it allows you to have a smooth, anxiety-free ride. If you feel like your vehicle is struggling to keep pace or that every bump on the road feels like a crater, you’re going to dread ferrying the kids to school, let alone traveling across Nebraska. Instead of embracing the freedom a great SUV gives you, you’ll end up avoiding the roads, as every trip feels like a hassle. We don’t want that, and with the Telluride EX, you’ll get the precise opposite experience. You’re going to love the reliability you’re afforded no matter the conditions outside, meaning you’ll have one less thing to worry about each day.

What allows for this reliability? The Telluride EX’s 3.8L V6 engine produces 291 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. The higher the horsepower and torque, the more easily a vehicle is able to accelerate and the better it can handle high speeds and adverse conditions, such as a rough Nebraska winter. Combine this with the Telluride’s responsive, nimble steering, and you will have an SUV for all occasions. Better yet, the engine is not overly thirsty, either. Despite the fact that the Telluride is a larger SUV, it still manages to get an EPA-estimated 26 MPG on the highway.

The Ability to Tow Affords You Extra Versatility

The Telluride EX can tow up to 5,000 lbs, which is going to give you additional capability you’ll want to take advantage of. You see, the V6 engine comes in handy once again by allowing you to hitch a trailer and still rocket down the highways of Nebraska without concern. Towing is not just for utility, either. Weekend warriors love that the Telluride can bring along bikes or a boat with ease. Even if you’re not an adventurer, you’ll appreciate the fact that you have more cargo room, so if you’re moving homes or taking a relaxing vacation, you’ll have the ability to bring along more without compromising seating space inside your Telluride. 

In addition to the standard Rearview Monitor with Dynamic Parking Guidance, the EX also has a neat touch for the rearview mirror: it automatically dims in order to make it easier to see behind you when the sun is at an awkward angle. The technology in the Telluride EX makes driving a three-row SUV easier than ever before, even when there’s a trailer hitched to the back. We know many drivers who buy this SUV are buying a vehicle in this segment for the first time, so we are happy to report that it makes the transition easy as its safety tech means you have a trusted co-pilot.

An Interior That Will Let Passengers Relax

With a large SUV, you do not want to skimp on interior features. What’s the point of having all that extra seating if no one ever wants to come along for the ride? Fear not—the Telluride has much to offer in this department. The EX trim especially stands out in this regard. There’s no bad seat to be found in this SUV; your passengers will find that each row is comfortable with ample legroom so that a long ride doesn’t feel cramped. Too many other SUVs have a third row that adults feel squashed into; that won’t happen with this ride.

The EX trim comes with heated front seats so that you and your front passenger don’t have to stay cold on rough January mornings. Commuters especially love knowing that their seat can be nice and warm even when there’s snow on the ground. And if you’re stuck getting into your car after work on a hot July day, you’ll appreciate that these seats are ventilated, too. 

Your front passenger will be able to sit in a seat just as comfortable as yours thanks to the eight-way power-adjustable seating; you wouldn’t want your co-pilot to have poor posture during a road trip. You can upgrade your second row of seating if you think you’ll regularly travel with a large crew. There are available captain chairs for that row, and you’ll have integrated window shades for your passengers to enjoy. Plus, all your guests will notice the leather seat trim, realizing that your sense of style is above reproach. They’ll also appreciate that the Telluride EX offers a quieter cabin experience. How so? It’s thanks to this trim’s sound-absorbing front door window glass. Everyone will be able to chat or listen to tunes without any disruptive noise from outside.
