- Kia has released the first images of the updated 2023 Telluride SUV.
- The headlights look slightly different, and the interior features a big, wide screen that stretches across the dashboard.
- The 2023 Telluride will debut next week at the New York auto show and go on sale later this year.
Like its sibling the Hyundai Palisade, the Kia Telluride three-row SUV is about to get some updates for the 2023 model year. A teaser image of the front end shows some slight changes, but the interior looks to get more of an overhaul thanks to a new dashboard that features a large screen stretching across two-thirds of the cabin’s width. Kia has also confirmed that the Telluride will add an X-Pro off-road model to its lineup.
We’re guessing that this new layout will be similar to what’s in other Kia models such as the Sorento, where separate screens for the digital gauge cluster and central infotainment display are housed in a single bezel. The main changes to the exterior appear to be different headlights and some reshaping of the lower front fascia, and the rear may get similar tweaks. The Telluride X-Pro, like the Sportage that debuted this new off-road trim level, will likely feature all-terrain tires, different bumpers, a roof rack, and other bits meant to make it look more rugged.
The Telluride’s single powertrain choice, a 3.8-liter V-6 and an eight-speed automatic transmission, is likely to stay intact. Front-wheel drive will remain standard, with all-wheel drive optional. A Telluride hybrid would be a logical addition to the lineup given that many competitors offer gas-electric drivetrains, but we haven’t heard anything about this becoming a reality anytime soon. Kia has confirmed that it will launch an electric three-row SUV called the EV9 next year, which will be a similar size as the Telluride.
Look for more information about the 2023 Telluride next week, April 13, when it makes its debut at the New York auto show.
