2025 KIA TELLURIDE EX, EX X-LINE, EX X-PRO

This 2025 Kia Telluride is listed with a salvage title, with hail identified as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports the hail claim based on the visible pattern of numerous small, shallow dents concentrated on the hood and roof, with additional dents on the side panels and liftgate. This assessment is separate from the windshield damage noted below. Numerous shallow, moderate dents are visible across the hood, including areas marked for inspection. Similar dents appear along the left roof edge, upper left-side body panels, doors, and rear quarter panel. The right-side doors and rear quarter panel also have multiple shallow depressions, while the liftgate has several smaller marked dents classified as minor. The front windshield has extensive branching cracks across a large portion of the glass and is classified as severe damage. The findings do not provide information about mechanical, structural, underbody, interior, or electrical condition. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2025 Kia Telluride SUV with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter GDI Lambda II gasoline engine, and manufacture by Kia Georgia, Inc. in West Point, Georgia. The decoded safety equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and curtain airbags for the first, second, and third rows. NHTSA records list three recalls for certain 2025 Telluride vehicles: campaign 25V494000 concerning door-belt molding that may detach; campaign 25V745000 concerning an incorrect temporary spare tire that could affect ABS and traction-control operation; and campaign 26V105000 concerning possible front seat-back frame problems on vehicles equipped with power front seats. Recall completion and VIN-specific applicability should be confirmed with Kia or NHTSA before purchase.
