The Kia Telluride is one of the most popular midsize SUVs on sale today. To keep the SUV fresh, Kia is giving the vehicle a midsize refresh. The 2023 Kia Telluride arrives with a revised look, updated tech features, and new trims.
For 2023, the Telluride arrives with an updated exterior design. The midsize SUV receives new bumpers, a restyled grille, new wheel designs, and updated lighting. It’s not a huge change, but it gives the midsize SUV a fresh look. The Telluride gains new X-Line and X-Pro trims for 2023. The two are aimed at off-roading with a taller ride height, unique wheels, new roof rails, and available all-terrain tires. These new trims make Telluride more competitive in the off-roading landscape.
On the inside, the 2023 Telluride arrives with updated displays that are now integrated into a single panel to look like a single display. The dashboard has been slightly updated to house the new displays. New air vents and a new steering wheel round out the changes for 2023. Beyond the updates, the Telluride will continue to have an upscale interior and roomy seating for up to eight people.
Kia hasn’t released all of the 2023 Telluride’s standard features yet, but the midsize SUV will be available with two 12.3-inch display screens, navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Harman Kardon audio system, a wireless charging pad, Bluetooth, and a Wi-Fi hot spot.
The Kia Telluride will continue to come with a 3.8-liter V6 engine as standard. The engine is rated at 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard. The Telluride comes with front-wheel drive as standard and is available with all-wheel drive.
