Telluride Power and Drivetrain

The Telluride's 3.8-liter V6 produces 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, routed through an 8-speed automatic transmission with Drive Mode Select. Front-wheel drive comes standard, and all-wheel drive is available across the lineup for Greene County drivers who encounter variable road conditions between Greeneville's valley roads and the higher elevations along SR-70 and SR-107 toward the Bald Mountains. The V6 provides steady acceleration for highway driving on I-81, which connects to Greeneville via SR-93 and SR-172, and enough low-end torque for towing trailers, boats, and campers on the winding two-lane roads throughout Greene County. A hybrid powertrain is also available, combining a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine with dual electric motors for approximately 329 combined horsepower and reduced fuel consumption on longer commutes.

Passenger Space and Everyday Utility

Greeneville families who need a vehicle that handles school runs, grocery trips on US-321, weekend activities, and long road trips equally well will appreciate the Telluride's three-row layout. The standard bench configuration seats eight, while available second-row captain's chairs create a seven-passenger layout with a center aisle for easier third-row access. Rear rows fold flat when cargo space takes priority, opening a generous area for hauling equipment, supplies, or luggage. The cargo floor sits at a practical loading height, and multiple storage compartments throughout the cabin keep personal items organized across all three rows. USB charging ports are available in every row to keep passengers connected on drives along US-11E between Greeneville and Johnson City or longer trips down I-81.

Off-Road Trims and Advanced Features

The X-Line and X-Pro trims give the Telluride additional ground clearance and rugged styling for Greene County drivers who spend time on gravel roads, farm paths, or forest access routes near the Nolichucky River and Cherokee National Forest. The X-Pro pushes capability further with all-terrain tires, a 5,500-pound tow rating, and standard AWD. Across the lineup, the Telluride offers a large touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Kia Connect services, and a suite of driver-assistance features including forward collision avoidance, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and available Highway Driving Assist for supported highway driving.
