The LX trim lays the foundation for the Telluride lineup, blending performance and safety into one well-rounded SUV. It has a 3.8L V6 engine pushing out 291 horsepower and towing up to 5,000 pounds. EPA-estimated highway fuel economy reaches 26 MPG, making it efficient for its size. Safety highlights include Auto Emergency Braking with Junction Turning Detection and Blind-Spot Detection. Inside, features like Rear Occupant Alert with Ultrasonic Sensors and LED projector headlights create a thoughtful balance of safety and convenience.
The S trim builds on the LX, adding style and comfort-focused details. It swaps in 20-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, and a leather-wrapped gear shift knob. Its cabin changes to a seven-passenger layout with second-row captain’s chairs for added comfort. The driver enjoys an eight-way power seat, while heated front seats and a wireless phone charger make everyday driving even more enjoyable.
The EX trim raises the bar with more luxury touches. Leather seating surfaces replace cloth, and both the driver and front passenger get eight-way power adjustments. Heated and ventilated front seats come standard, along with integrated second-row window sunshades. This trim also offers seating for up to eight passengers, plus an auto-dimming rearview mirror for added convenience.
The SX trim is where premium technology starts to shine. Drivers gain dual power sunroofs, 20-inch alloy wheels, and 12.3-inch dual panoramic displays for a connected, modern feel. Advanced safety includes a Blind-Spot and 360° Surround View Monitor. The cabin experience is rounded out with a Harman Kardon® premium audio system for clear, immersive sound.
The EX X-Line is designed for those who need more capability. It includes standard all-wheel drive with a center-locking differential, 20-inch X-Line wheels, and exclusive styling upgrades inside and out. Increased ground clearance, tow mode, and a self-leveling rear suspension help it handle tougher conditions, while high-utility roof rails add versatility.
The EX X-Pro takes adventure even further with 18-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires. This trim adds X-Pro embossed seats and a 110V power inverter in the rear cargo area. Towing capacity increases to 5,500 pounds, giving it more muscle for hauling gear, boats, or trailers. Increased ground clearance and rugged styling cues confirm its adventurous personality.
The SX X-Line mirrors the upgrades of the EX X-Line but builds off the SX foundation. That means you get dual panoramic displays, premium audio, advanced safety, and enhanced off-road capability. Exclusive X-Line design touches, added ground clearance, tow mode, and self-leveling rear suspension make this trim perfect for active families.
The SX Prestige trim pushes luxury to the next level. Standard all-wheel drive with a center-locking differential delivers capability, while features like a head-up display and a full-display digital rearview mirror add modern tech. Its cabin is fitted with Nappa leather upholstery, plus heated and ventilated second-row seats. Rain-sensing wipers ensure comfort and confidence in changing conditions.
The SX Prestige X-Line enhances the Prestige trim with styling and capability upgrades. It gains 20-inch X-Line wheels, a more rugged exterior, and high-utility roof rails. Ground clearance increases, and improved approach and departure angles help it handle uneven terrain. Moreover, tow mode and self-leveling suspension keep it practical and adventurous.
At the top of the lineup, the SX Prestige X-Pro delivers maximum luxury with maximum toughness. It comes with 18-inch X-Pro wheels, all-terrain tires, and exclusive X-Pro styling touches.
