The redesigned Kia Telluride made a smashing debut at the 2022 New York International Auto Show. We figure the 2023 Telluride?s impending arrival is why Kia held back in significantly updating the outgoing variant?s proven styling cues. The “designed-for-America” Kia Telluride remains a brilliant family SUV that prioritizes comfort, space, decent off-road manners, and a premium interior for less money than an equivalent German, Japanese, or American offering.

2023 Kia Telluride: What?s New"

The outgoing 2022 Telluride received a handful of updated standard equipment like automatic climate control, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, a new Kia logo, and TELLURIDE rear badging. As expected, the 2023 Telluride takes it a step further with new vertically-oriented LED headlight clusters, redesigned front and rear bumpers, a reshaped ?tiger nose? front grille, revised taillights, new wheel designs, and fresh paint colors (Midnight Lake Blue, Dawning Red, and Jungle Wood Green).
Inside the 2023 Kia Telluride has a redesigned dashboard with new trim panels and vents. You?ll also find dual 12.3-inch display screens, a four-spoke steering wheel, and revised interior color combinations. The new Telluride remains a family SUV to the core by offering adequate room for up to eight passengers and 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row.
