Glassman Kia – Parking Confidently for Waterford, MI Drivers With the 2025 Kia Telluride

Threading a three-row SUV into a narrow spot doesn’t have to raise your heart rate. The 2025 Kia Telluride brings a suite of smart parking and low-speed maneuvering technologies designed to help drivers in and around Waterford, MI feel at ease—whether you’re parallel parking on a busy street or easing into a tight school pickup lane. The available 360-degree Surround View Monitor delivers an aerial view to take much of the guesswork out of close-quarters maneuvering, while the available Blind-Spot View Monitor can display live video of your rear blind spots on the instrument cluster when you signal. Pair those with an available Full Display Digital Rearview Mirror for a clearer look behind you even when the cargo area is full, and it all adds up to stress-reducing visibility during the moments that matter most.

Beyond camera tech, Telluride backs you up with intelligent driver assistance. Standard Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist can help detect oncoming obstacles when reversing, issuing alerts or applying the brakes in certain conditions. Available Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-Reverse and front/rear Park Distance Warning add layers of confidence in crowded lots or when pulling into tight garages. If you’re balancing weekend games, grocery runs, and home projects, these features make everyday driving more fluid and less fatiguing.

Telluride’s airy interior supports the parking tech with ergonomic controls and confident sightlines. The available 12.3-inch Dual Panoramic Displays centralize navigation and camera views, while the Head-Up Display (available) keeps key driving info in your line of sight. Families who regularly carry sports gear or make hardware store runs will appreciate the Smart Power Liftgate with Auto Close (available) to simplify loading and unloading—especially when your hands are full. And with standard USB-C fast charging ports in all three rows and an available wireless charging tray, your crew stays powered while you handle the parking ballet with calm precision.

Michigan weather adds another challenge, and the Telluride is ready there, too. Available All-Wheel Drive with a center-locking differential and Snow Mode enhances traction, while self-leveling rear suspension (available) helps stability when the cargo area is full or a small trailer is attached. On the X-Line and X-Pro models, increased ground clearance and upgraded approach and departure angles provide reassurance if slush, ruts, or uneven surfaces are part of your route to the stadium or the trailhead. The blend of parking assistance and capability features means the Telluride is as comfortable in a tight downtown lot as it is on a muddy soccer field.

Parents and commuters also benefit from the Quiet Zone interior feature, which can mute rear speakers to reduce distractions while you focus on maneuvering. When it’s time to head home, Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control w/ Stop & Go and available Highway Driving Assist 2 can assist with speed and following distances on the highway in certain conditions—helpful for the transition from crowded surface streets to the interstate.

Curious how these features align with your routine—school runs, downtown lunches, or weekend shopping along M-59? A test drive that includes busy lots and parallel parking is the best way to feel how seamlessly Telluride’s systems support you in the real world.
