Underneath the hood of the new 2021 Kia Telluride is a powerful yet fuel-efficient 3.8-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine that delivers 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. All that power is sent to the front wheels or to an available all-wheel drive system through an electronically controlled 8-speed automatic transmission with a Sportmatic™ sports shifter. 

Even with power and torque of this magnitude, the 2021 Kia Telluride can still deliver a fuel economy rating of up to 20 mpg in the city, 26 mpg on the highway and 23 mpg combined when choosing front-wheel drive. Opting for the traction control of active on-demand all-wheel drive with lock and snow mode will return a fuel economy rating of up to 19 mpg in the city, 24 mpg on the highway and 21 mpg combined.
