Kia Telluride for Sale in San Antonio: Your Ticket to a Bold Ride

The Kia Telluride is a midsize SUV that’s been turning heads since it rolled out in 2020, and in San Antonio, it’s a hot ticket for anyone hunting a blend of style, space, and grit. Built in West Point, Georgia, by Kia Motors America, this beast has racked up awards—think J.D. Power’s 2024 Initial Quality Study—and boasts a 2025 lineup with prices kicking off at $40,710 locally, per Edmunds. With over 20 new Tellurides listed around San Antonio as of March 2025, from dealers like Ancira Kia and World Car Kia, it’s a buyer’s playground. I scoped out kiaworldcar.com one evening—spotted a Wolf Gray EX X-Line for $47,200—and it’s clear why folks are hooked; I didn’t buy, but the vibe’s tempting.

The Telluride’s a beast of options. Base LX trim’s got a 3.8L V6 pumping 291 horsepower—20/26 MPG city/highway—while the SX-Prestige X-Pro ups the ante with all-wheel drive (AWD) and rugged swagger, topping out around $55,695 with extras like Nappa leather or a tow package (5,500-lb capacity). San Antonio dealers like World Car Kia North (12115 I-35 N) list 2025 models—think Panthera Metal S for $42,225—or you can grab a used 2023 S with 10k miles for $34,900 at Land Rover San Antonio, per Autotrader. On X, a March 22, 2025, post flagged a “good deal” on an EX AWD at Ancira (6110 I-10)—$43,920 after a discount. I checked a 2024 SX listing—20-inch alloys, Harman Kardon audio, slick—but passed; still, it’s loaded for the price.

Buying’s easy enough. Hit kiaworldcar.com or ancirakiasa.com, filter by trim—LX, EX, S, SX—and pick FWD or AWD. New ones start at $40,710 (destination included), but add-ons like a $1,200 sunroof or $650 tow hitch bump it up—TrueCar shows 214 new listings citywide, some as low as $37,925 for a 2024 LX. Finance via Kia Finance America (KFA) offers 48-month terms at $22.53 per $1,000 borrowed for qualifiers, or lease an S AWD for $399/month with $3,999 down, per World Car’s March 2025 promo (ends 4/30). Used options on Cars.com range from $20,997 (2020 LX, 79k miles) to $46,555 (2021 SX, loaded). I ran a 2025 EX quote—$600/month financed—but it’s just math, not my wallet talking.

The Telluride shines here. San Antonio’s sprawl—think I-35 to Boerne or 281 to the Hill Country—suits its three-row seating (up to eight) and 87 cubic feet of cargo space. X users love its smooth ride—“quietest SUV I’ve driven,” one said March 19—and its 5-star NHTSA safety rating (adaptive cruise, blind-spot tech) fits family hauls to the River Walk. But it’s not flawless: gas mileage dips to 18 MPG city on AWD models, and X gripes about tight third-row legroom (31.4 inches) for adults. A buddy snagged a 2023 EX for $38k used—“tows my boat fine”—and I get it: it’s a workhorse with flair. If you’re in, hit a dealer site, test drive an SX X-Line, or scout X for deals—it’s a San Antonio steal, just don’t expect it to sip fuel.
