The midsize SUV now comes with amber-colored daytime running lights, while the X-Line and X-Pro trims are equipped with glossy black exterior trim pieces.

With 10 different trims to choose from, the 2024 Kia Telluride lineup can be hard to sort through. With extra tech and safety features, not to mention a few more upscale convenience features, the SX stands out as the best option. Unless you plan on tackling light trails, we recommend staying away from the X-Line and X-Pro trims, as they most alter the Telluride’s appearance and don’t make the SUV a true rock-crawler.
