How the Kia Telluride Makes Driving Enjoyable for Both Kids and Parents

When shopping for a vehicle for your family, chances are you're looking for things like space, cargo volume, and safety. Parents tend to put their own needs on the back burner; however, what if you could have it all in one fabulous family SUV? Here at Kia Store Rainbow City, we have a family favorite among our inventory: the three-row Kia Telluride, which perfectly pairs kid-friendly features with convenience options that parents love. You may be asking yourself, "What Kia dealer near me has the best selection?" Well, we're happy to report that you'll find it here, and when it comes to fun for the whole family, the Telluride makes driving fun for the kids but is even better for parents. Here are the convenience features you'll love.

Confident Connections

From keeping your must-have devices charged up on the road to communicating throughout the cabin, the 2024 Telluride makes all of this a breeze with the convenient connectivity features that reside inside. An available wireless phone charging tray makes getting a quick charge between the bus stop and the soccer game simple. Remote Start with Climate Control allows you to create the ideal temperature inside the cabin, especially during sweltering summer days and chilly winter nights. Utilize the Kia Access app for even more convenient features, like Find My Car. This is handy when you have a lot on your mind and may have forgotten where exactly you parked after the championship Little League tournament.

Communicating with your brood is also easy with Driver Talk, which allows your voice to be heard throughout the cabin. This eliminates the need for you to shout to grab the attention of distracted backseat passengers. Of course, you can't forget about Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa, which all work to make your life much easier behind the wheel. Access contacts, place items on your to-do list, and more, all without taking your eyes off the road.

Detailed Displays

The convenience doesn't end there, though, as the Telluride is armed with displays that do everything from providing you with entertainment to watching out for what lies ahead. A standard 12.3-inch touchscreen delivers everything you need to maximize your time on the road, including navigation to help you make your way to the rival school for the big game without issue. Opt for the available 10-inch Head-Up Display and view important tidbits about your drive displayed brilliantly on the windshield. From speed to navigation prompts to alerts, you'll control your ride in all new ways.

You'll also find other helpful displays available to add more confidence to your drive, including an available Surround View Monitor, which provides a 360-degree view around your vehicle. This makes quick work out of parking situations and navigating through the hectic school drop-off line. Add in the Blind-Spot View Monitor and expertly make your way through dense traffic, changing lanes with precision, as this helpful display showcases your blind spots right on your dashboard.

Smart Cargo

Of course, you want to have enough space for your kiddos, but what about all the things that tend to accompany them on the ride? The last thing you want is to feel cramped as you're picking up one child from dance class and the other from baseball practice while you attempt to fit groceries into the mix as well. Fortunately, the Kia Telluride makes this easy for parents as well, with up to 87 cu.ft. of cargo space, designed for all of your family's must-have travel belongings.

That's not all—the Telluride's cargo hold is also highly intelligent, with an available 110-volt power inverter built in so that you can plug in your laptop and get a little work done while you wait for the kids to be finished with all of their extracurriculars. After everyone is picked up for the day, unload with ease, thanks to the Telluride's available Smart Power Tailgate with an automatic close feature. This handy feature automatically closes the rear cargo hold when the key fob is no longer near the vehicle. This helps when you accidentally walk into the house without closing your tailgate first.

A Real Assistant

Speaking of having a lot on your mind, as parents, you know multitasking is a must, especially on the road. The good news is that the Telluride understands, stepping in to lend a hand to make your travels as safe as possible. Available Highway Driving Assist 2 takes the reins, steering, changing lanes, and navigating expertly through traffic for you so that you can focus better on the journey.

Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go helps you stay a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, adjusting your speed as needed and even halting your vehicle in certain circumstances to prevent a collision. Plus, with 18 active and passive safety features, traveling anywhere in the Telluride is a parent's dream because, after all, the most important aspect of traveling is keeping your kiddos safe at all times.

Cushioned Interior

You may not have realized it when you initially became a parent, but spending a lot of time in your vehicle is the norm for many parents these days, especially as the kids get older and find themselves in more activities. If eating multiple meals in your car while waiting for your kids to be done with sports practice wasn't what you signed up for, the good news is that the Telluride's pristine interior makes this much more enjoyable.

From available Nappa leather seating trim to heated and ventilated seats, plus other add-ons, creating the ideal ambiance inside the Telluride is easy. You'll also find that with enhanced Quiet Mode and laminated glass, the interior of the Telluride remains quiet. This means that you can sit back with a book or a last-minute work project while your kids finish with gymnastics, band practice, and everything else they've enrolled in this year.

A Smooth, Exciting Ride

Who says that family vehicles have to be boring? Not Kia, and certainly not the Telluride, which is equipped with a 3.8L V6 engine that charges forward with 291 hp at the helm. This makes for a lively ride, no matter where you're going. A self-leveling rear suspension, found on X-Pro models, smooths out even the bumpiest rides, making it easy to take that family camping trip during fall break. Of course, choosing all-wheel drive capabilities comes to the rescue, not only on uneven terrain but also during inclement weather, making your confidence soar during those heavy summer afternoon rainstorms.

Fun for the Whole Family

It's evident that the Kia Telluride isn't just geared toward kids, with its class-leading second-row legroom, plethora of safety features, and USB-C charging ports in every row. It's also perfect for parents, with its outstanding tech and assistance features, cozy cabin, and plenty of convenience features to make your time spent behind the wheel better than you ever imagined. That's why more parents are choosing to trust in the Telluride when they want to experience the best of both worlds—kid-friendly features and ultimate convenience.

It's time to re-envision the way you travel with your family, and the Telluride is the perfect way to do just that. With all of the connectivity features helping you remain in tune with your day, plus dazzling displays to place all of the pertinent information about your ride and more right in front of you, parents can stay perfectly in sync with their busy schedules. Plus, with the Telluride's impeccable cabin space, sinking into a calm, relaxing atmosphere is easy, even when play practice runs late. So, do yourself a favor and place your family's travels in the capable hands of the Telluride, especially when convenience is at the top of your wish list.
