The Telluride S is the second Telluride trim. It’s arguably a better value for the money than the base model LX because of its standard features.

2024 Kia Telluride S standard features

  • Heated front seats
  • Leather-wrapped gear shift knob
  • Wireless phone charger
  • Low Profile Silver roof rails
  • Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go-curve

The 2024 Kia Telluride S also has three more exterior colors than the LX base model (Dark Moss, Dawning Red, Midnight Lake Blue). It has an additional interior seat trim color (Gray SynTex) as well.

Kia’s Telluride S configuration has better technology and creature comforts than the base model LX. So, if you desire interior perks like heated front seats and a wireless phone charger, the S is a better choice over the LX. If you don’t need the added comfort and convenience, the more affordable LX is an excellent choice.

Which 2024 Kia Telluride trim is best?

Though there are almost too many Telluride configurations to choose from, a few stick out among the pack. Aside from the base model LX and S, the SX also provides exceptional value. Starting at $45,790, the SX is practically a luxury vehicle thanks to its long list of standard features. Hyundai Motor Company and its Kia and Genesis brands are known for going all-out on upper trim levels.
