OAKES KIA OF OLATHE • SERVING SHAWNEE, KS • MINUTES VIA I-435 & I-35
Safety, Space, and Everything Shawnee Families Actually Need
Shawnee is one of Kansas’s fastest-growing cities because it gets the formula right — strong schools, accessible parks like Shawnee Mission Park, and a community that prioritizes family life without sacrificing proximity to the Kansas City metro. The 2027 Kia Telluride was designed with exactly that buyer in mind: an SUV that provides genuine three-row seating for growing families, an active safety suite that protects passengers on school runs and highway trips alike, and the kind of interior quality that doesn’t apologize for being used by a family every single day.
The Safety Features Shawnee Parents Are Asking About
Safe Exit Warning Standard
Standard on SX and above, Safe Exit Warning monitors for approaching cyclists and vehicles when rear passengers prepare to open their doors. For Shawnee families navigating busy school drop-off zones, sports complex parking lots, and suburban arterials, this system provides meaningful protection for the most vulnerable passengers — children exiting from rear doors.
Rear Occupant Alert Standard
Standard on all Telluride trim levels, Rear Occupant Alert uses door-sensor logic to remind drivers to check the rear seating area before exiting the vehicle. For Shawnee parents managing school pickups, grocery runs, and activity shuttles with young children, this standard feature provides peace of mind on every single trip.
Highway Driving Assist Available
Available on SX trim and above, Highway Driving Assist combines Smart Cruise Control with Lane Centering to manage following distance and steering input on compatible highway sections. For Shawnee parents running K-7, I-435, or US-56 to work daily, HDA reduces the fatigue of repetitive highway driving — leaving more mental energy for everything that comes after the commute.

2027 Telluride — EPA Fuel Economy Estimates
For Shawnee families who commute daily and occasionally make longer weekend trips, the FWD configuration’s 26 MPG highway provides a strong efficiency baseline for a three-row SUV of the Telluride’s capability level. AWD adds all-weather traction confidence at a modest efficiency trade-off.

“The Safe Exit Warning has already triggered several times when my kids are getting out in the school parking lot. That feature alone is worth the SX upgrade for any family with children. Oakes Kia of Olathe was transparent about every number and never rushed us.”
“We needed all three rows for our family of five plus gear for weekend camping trips. The Telluride EX checks every box. The cargo space with the third row folded is genuinely impressive. The Oakes team made the whole buying process simple and pressure-free.”
“The Rear Occupant Alert has given me peace of mind on every single drive. Small feature, huge reassurance for parents. The Oakes Kia service department has been equally reliable — fast appointments, honest assessments, no unnecessary upsells.”

Common Questions from Shawnee-Area Telluride Buyers
Is the Telluride’s third row practical for regular adult use?
The Telluride’s third row accommodates adults for shorter trips with more legroom than most competitors in the class. For the typical Shawnee family use case — children in the third row, adults in the first two rows — the third-row experience is comfortable for daily school and activity use.
What is the cargo space in the 2027 Telluride?
Behind the third row: approximately 21 cubic feet. Third row folded: approximately 46 cubic feet. All rear seats folded: approximately 87 cubic feet. For Shawnee families who need to carry both passengers and gear simultaneously, the Telluride’s cargo flexibility is a defining advantage over smaller two-row SUVs.
Is Safe Exit Warning standard on all Telluride trims?
Safe Exit Warning is standard on SX and SX Prestige trim levels. It is not standard on LX, S, EX, or X-Line. For Shawnee families who specifically want this feature, we recommend the SX trim as the entry point for this safety technology.
Does the Telluride come with a factory warranty that covers extended ownership?
Yes. Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty is among the strongest in the industry and provides meaningful long-term coverage for Shawnee families who plan to own their Telluride for many years. The Oakes Advantage complimentary lifetime powertrain warranty extends this coverage further.
How does the Oakes Kia 7-day exchange policy work?
If you purchase a vehicle and change your mind within 7 days and 700 miles, you can exchange it for another vehicle in our inventory. A 3-day/300-mile refund option is also available on qualifying purchases. Full terms apply — ask our team for complete details.
