2025 Kia Telluride Service and Repair Manual

Closing out the first-generation Telluride, the 2025 model keeps the 3.8-liter V6 and eight-speed automatic across LX, S, EX, SX and SX Prestige trims, with X-Line and X-Pro versions of EX and above. New this year are standard second-row side air bags and Highway Driving Assist 1.5, and X-Pro towing rises to 5,500 pounds. Because the next generation switches to turbocharged four-cylinder power, this factory service and repair manual is tied to the 2025 V6 model, with its procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules.

Known issues on the 2025 Telluride. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The door belt molding trim can delaminate and detach; some vehicles carry an incorrect spare tire that can impair anti-lock braking and traction control once fitted; and on models with power front seats, the seat back frames may not properly restrain occupants in a crash. Owners have filed 113 complaints, covering the engine, electrical system and visibility and wipers among others. This manual provides the trim removal steps, seat frame torque values and wiring diagrams needed for those repairs.
