Pricing on the 2026 Kia Telluride SX begins at $46,190 MSRP, before the $1,545 destination charge — that’s $4,100 more than the EX. Check live SX inventory for today’s price with current offers applied.
What Do You Get With the SX That the EX Doesn’t Have?⌄
Premium tech and materials just below the flagship SX Prestige — the SX ranks as the richest Telluride short of SX Prestige, and it’s the only other trim offering the X-Line adventure package.
Is There Actually a True 2026 Kia Telluride SX?⌄
Kia skipped a standalone 2026 model-year update — instead, the automaker kept selling the outgoing first-generation Telluride, 3.8L V6 and all, through the 2026 season before launching an all-new second-generation model for 2027. The SX pricing here reflects Kia’s final published Telluride price sheet, which lines up with what’s actually on the lot at Dean McCrary Kia right now.
Where’s the Nearest Place to Buy a 2026 Telluride SX Near Hattiesburg?⌄
Dean McCrary Kia Hattiesburg at 7124 US Hwy 98 sits on the very highway that put Hattiesburg on the map as the Hub City, minutes from Petal, Oak Grove, Sumrall, and the rest of Forrest and Lamar counties, for the SX and the rest of the final first-generation Telluride lineup. Every new Telluride arrives with upfront pricing and factory warranty.
