As Powerful and Capable As Ever
The new Telluride continues to provide a capable and confidence-inspiring experience for driver and passengers, alike. Major mechanicals remain virtually unchanged, maintaining the SUV’s composed ride and performance:

Atkinson Cycle LAMBDA II 3.8L V6 GDI engine producing 291 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 262 lb.-ft of torque at 5,200 rpm

8-speed automatic transmission

Four-wheel independent suspension

Rigid body structure due to the monocoque shell that is composed of 59.4 percent advanced high-strength steel

Available self-leveling rear suspension2. This system is designed to automatically calibrate ride height depending on vehicle load to help enhance control and stability

Choice of four drive modes – Smart, Eco, Sport and Comfort – each using different settings for powertrain, drivetrain, and steering effort mapping to provide the desired driving experience. In addition to the four regular drive modes, in vehicles equipped with AWD, drivers can select from two different modes, “Snow” and “AWD Lock” for specific driving conditions

Available active on-demand all-wheel drive2 is designed to help provide enhanced driving performance in a variety of circumstances by actively distributing torque between front and rear wheels depending on road conditions and driver input. The system utilizes electro-hydraulic AWD coupling to precisely activate the multi-plate clutch, constantly redistributing the amount of power transferred to the front and rear wheels. During normal driving, power is distributed according to the drive mode selected. “Eco” and “Comfort” modes can deliver up to 20 to 35 percent of the power to the rear wheels, respectively. “Sport”, “Smart” and “Snow” modes can deliver up to 50 percent of the power to the rear wheels. “AWD Lock” mode delivers power evenly to all four wheels

Standard towing rated up to 5,000 pounds (5,500 pounds for X-Pro trim)5

Newly added Downhill Brake Control (DBC)2 maintains a controlled descent on steep roads
