The front fascia has been redesigned with a new grille pattern, more aggressive LED headlights, and a reshaped bumper that gives the SUV a more modern and sophisticated look. The rear has also been updated with redesigned taillights and a new lower bumper, enhancing the vehicle’s rugged and premium feel.

• Enhanced Color Options: Kia has expanded the color palette for the Telluride, adding new, vibrant hues like Jungle Wood Green and Midnight Lake Blue, which offer buyers more ways to personalize their vehicle.

Advanced Technology and Infotainment Upgrades

Tech-savvy drivers will appreciate the upgraded infotainment system in the current generation Kia Telluride. The SUV now features a larger, more intuitive touchscreen and enhanced connectivity options, making it one of the most technologically advanced SUVs in its class.

• Larger Touchscreen Display: The current Telluride boasts a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, an upgrade from the previous generation’s 10.25-inch display. This larger screen provides a clearer, more engaging interface for navigation, music, and vehicle settings.

• Enhanced Connectivity: Kia has introduced more advanced connectivity features, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This allows drivers and passengers to seamlessly integrate their smartphones with Telluride’s infotainment system, enhancing convenience and reducing cable clutter.

• Upgraded Navigation and Display Features: The current Telluride now includes improved navigation graphics, quicker response times, and split-screen functionality, making it easier for drivers to access important information without distraction.

Performance Enhancements for a Smoother Ride

Performance remains a key selling point of the Kia Telluride, and the current generation brings refinements that improve driving dynamics and overall ride comfort. The Telluride’s 3.8-liter V6 engine continues to deliver 291 horsepower, but suspension and steering updates have refined the driving experience.

• Improved Suspension Tuning: Kia has fine-tuned Telluride’s suspension to deliver a smoother, more controlled ride. The updated tuning reduces body roll in corners and provides a more comfortable experience on rough roads, making long drives more enjoyable.

• Enhanced All-Wheel-Drive System: The Telluride’s available all-wheel-drive system has been updated to offer better traction and control in varying driving conditions. This system is particularly beneficial for those who drive in regions with challenging weather or who enjoy off-road adventures.

• Drive Mode Select: The current generation Telluride includes an updated Drive Mode Select system, which allows drivers to adjust steering, throttle response, and transmission shifts based on the selected mode (Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Smart). These modes help tailor the driving experience to match the driver’s preferences and road conditions.

Next-Level Safety Features and Driver Assistance

Safety has always been a priority for the Kia Telluride, and the latest generation builds on this foundation with additional driver-assistance features that enhance safety for both the driver and passengers.

• Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2): One of the most notable upgrades in the current Telluride is the introduction of Highway Driving Assist 2. This advanced system not only maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead but also assists with lane changes on the highway, adding a new level of semi-autonomous driving capability.

• Enhanced Forward Collision Avoidance: Telluride’s Forward Collision Avoidance system has been upgraded to detect cyclists and oncoming vehicles at intersections, providing even more excellent protection in complex driving environments.

• Blind-Spot View Monitor: This updated feature displays live camera feeds of the Telluride’s blind spots directly on the digital gauge cluster, giving drivers a clearer view when changing lanes or merging.

• Safe Exit Assist: Another valuable addition to the Telluride’s safety suite is Safe Exit Assist, which uses radar to detect approaching vehicles from behind and warns passengers when it’s unsafe to open their doors, reducing the risk of accidents.

Luxurious Interior Updates and Added Comfort

Inside, the current generation Kia Telluride offers more luxury and comfort. The cabin is spacious, well-appointed, and now features additional premium materials and design elements that elevate the overall driving experience.
