Newly updated for the 2024 model year, the Telluride seems set to build on the success it has earned since launching in 2019. Here are the key reasons why.

Stylish Design, Imposing Road Presence

The Telluride makes a virtue out of big and bold design, with its chunky frame softened by curved paneling and contrasting trims to deliver sturdy confidence and style. To cap off the imposing looks, 20-inch wheels are standard from the entry level upward, with a choice of machine-finished or black alloy designs giving the Telluride an assured road presence to match its size.

High-End Powertrain and Performance

All models in the Telluride range are built around the same powertrain, comprising a meaty 3.8L V6 gas engine making 291 horsepower and 262lb-ft of torque. The substantial output is passed through an eight-speed automatic transmission for silky-smooth gear shifts before reaching all-wheel drive as standard to provide excellent handling in a full range of conditions.

Yet, while the Telluride is a powerful and assertive SUV, it’s by no means a thirsty one, with an impressive fuel economy of just 11.7L / 100km combined, making it one of the most efficient three-row models around.

Premium Interior Comfort

The Telluride’s sizable frame contains a spacious interior that seats up to eight comfortably, or seven with the optional second-row captain’s chairs installed. Even at the entry level, comfort is a priority, with features including heated front seats with synthetic leather upholstery building an impressive base to build on.

Higher trims take things even further, with options including Nappa leather seating surfaces, heated rear seats, and air-cooled seats in the first two rows, combined with tri-zone automatic climate control to create ideal comfort throughout the cabin.

Cutting-Edge Infotainment Technology

But the interior quality doesn’t end there. All trims in the Telluride lineup boast a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen complete with navigation, sitting beside a 4.2-inch or 12.3-inch digital TFT display for essential driving and performance data. If that’s not enough digital real estate, higher trims also include a 10-inch head-up display and a fully digital rear-view mirror to provide excellent visibility with minimum dazzle.

Smartphone integration is handled by both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, backed by a wireless device charger and hands-free Bluetooth connectivity with voice recognition. Lastly, for the infotainment section, the available Harman Kardon premium sound system is fed by sources including AM/FM/HD radio, MP3, Bluetooth streaming, and SiriusXM satellite radio compatibility.

The Latest Safety and Driver-Assist Systems

Kia vehicles are renowned for their excellent safety records, combining robust physical builds with the latest safety and driver-assist technologies. The Telluride is no exception to the rule, with key standard and available features including:

• Forward collision avoidance with automated braking and intersection awareness
• Blind-spot monitoring with collision avoidance and safe rear-exit assist
• Driver-attention monitoring
• Intelligent speed-limit assist
• 360-degree camera with a bird’s-eye view of your vehicle
• Front and rear parking sensors
