What affects your Telluride's MPG
Kia's fuel economy disclaimer says actual mileage will vary with:
- Options, such as the drive and trim (compare the ratings above).
- Driving conditions.
- Driving habits.
- Your vehicle's condition.
Kia also says Telluride Hybrid FWD trims have a higher MPG rating because they send power to the front wheels only, while AWD trims add traction by powering all four wheels, which can slightly reduce fuel efficiency.
