Living in Ontario means having access to some incredible cottage country. From the pristine waters of the Kawartha Lakes to the rolling hills dotted with summer retreats, the region around Lindsay offers endless opportunities for family adventures and weekend escapes. But getting there with everyone and everything you need requires the right vehicle.
The 2025 Kia Telluride has earned its reputation as the family SUV that doesn't make you choose between space, comfort, and capability. With its three-row design and thoughtful storage solutions, this SUV is particularly well-suited for families in Ontario who want to make the most of cottage season and year-round outdoor adventures.
Room for the Whole Crew
The Telluride offers flexible seating for up to eight passengers across three rows, making it easy to bring along extended family or cottage guests. The captain's chair configuration provides a choice of seven or eight seats, depending on how you prefer to arrange your space.
Second-row passengers get their own dedicated USB-C charging ports, while the one-touch slide and fold system makes accessing the third row simple. This thoughtful design means grandparents can ride comfortably while the kids settle into the back for the journey to the lake.
- Seating for up to 8 passengers across three rows
- One-touch slide and fold second-row access
- USB-C charging ports in every row
- Available heated and cooled front and second-row seats
Cargo Space That Actually Works
Cottage trips require serious cargo capacity, and the Telluride delivers with up to 2,455 litres of space when the second and third rows are folded. The smart power liftgate with Away Close feature automatically opens when you approach with your hands full and closes when you walk away.
The concealed under-floor storage compartment provides a hidden spot for valuables or items you want to keep separate from the main cargo area. For families heading to cottage country with fishing gear, coolers, and sporting equipment, this extra storage proves invaluable.

Built for the Journey
Under the hood, the Telluride's 3.8L V6 engine produces 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive comes standard, providing the traction you need for gravel cottage roads or unexpected weather conditions.
The Telluride can tow up to 2,268 kg (5,000 lbs) when properly equipped, making it capable of pulling a small boat or utility trailer to enhance your cottage experience. The trailer stability assist system helps maintain control while towing, adding confidence for families new to pulling recreational equipment.
Technology for the Road
Long drives to cottage country are more enjoyable with the right technology. The 12.3-inch multimedia interface includes integrated navigation to help you find new destinations around the Kawarthas region. Wireless phone charging keeps devices powered without cables cluttering the cabin.
The tri-zone automatic climate control ensures everyone stays comfortable, from Lindsay to your favourite lakeside destination. Available premium features like the Harman Kardon sound system and panoramic sunroof add to the travel experience.
