Camping season puts a specific set of demands on a family SUV: enough cargo room for gear, enough seats for everyone, and a powertrain that won’t need constant fuel stops on the way to the site. The 2026 Kia Sorento HEV checks each of those boxes, and stepping up to the SX trim adds a further layer of comfort and technology for the drive there and back. Every Sorento HEV comes with all-wheel...
Winter driving demands a vehicle that can handle ice, snow, and freezing temperatures while keeping passengers safe and comfortable. The 2025 Kia Telluride rises to the challenge with its advanced all-wheel-drive system, intelligent safety features, and premium interior comforts. Whether navigating slushy city streets or venturing onto snow-covered highways, the Telluride is engineered to provide confidence in the harshest conditions.
Equipped with a powerful 3.8L V6 engine delivering 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, the Telluride maintains steady performance even in winter weather. Combined with its all-wheel-drive (AWD) system and various drive modes, including a dedicated Snow Mode, this SUV is built to maximize traction and stability when road conditions are less than ideal.
Built for Snowy Roads and Ice-Covered Streets
The 2025 Telluride’s AWD system continuously monitors road conditions, distributing power to the wheels that need it most. Snow Mode optimizes torque distribution and throttle response, helping prevent wheel spin on slippery surfaces. Additionally, Downhill Brake Control (DBC) enhances stability when descending icy slopes, reducing the risk of skidding.
The Telluride X-Pro trim further enhances winter performance with exclusive 18-inch black alloy wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires, providing extra grip in deep snow. With a ground clearance of 213mm in the X-Line trim, the Telluride is well-equipped to handle uneven, snow-packed roads without compromising maneuverability.
Safety Features Designed for Winter Driving
Winter driving isn’t just about power—it’s about control. The 2025 Telluride includes a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that help mitigate risks on icy roads. Standard features such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and the four-wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS) provide enhanced handling and braking performance in slippery conditions.
Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist, and Safe Exit Assist are particularly useful when navigating winter’s reduced visibility challenges. Additionally, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Junction Turning helps prevent accidents at intersections, where icy roads make stopping distances unpredictable.
Cold Weather Comforts for Every Passenger
Surviving winter isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s about staying warm and comfortable while doing so. The 2025 Telluride offers heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and available heated second-row seats to ensure that everyone onboard remains cozy, even in subzero temperatures. Tri-zone automatic climate control allows passengers to customize their ideal temperature settings, preventing frostbitten fingers and fogged-up windows.
The Telluride’s Smart Power Liftgate with Away Close function makes loading and unloading cargo effortless, even when your hands are full with winter gear. Need extra storage space for snowboards, skis, or emergency roadside kits? With up to 2,455 litres (86.7 cubic feet) of cargo capacity, the Telluride adapts to winter adventures with ease.

The 2025 Kia Telluride combines power, safety, and comfort to tackle Canada’s toughest winter conditions.
