What's New for the 2023 Kia Telluride?

Kia has refreshed the Telluride's exterior styling, thus giving this three-row SUV an even more eye-catching look. Its grille, headlamps, and bumpers have all been updated. Revamped taillights are found on the rear. Meanwhile, Kia's infotainment system now offers twin 12.3-inch panoramic screens. Navigation and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot have also been added to the Telluride's list of standard equipment. New trims have been introduced as well. Like the Telluride X-Line, the Telluride X-Pro is designed to offer enhanced off-road performance.

What Are the 2023 Kia Telluride Trims and Features?

For the 2023 model year, the Telluride gives you a total of 10 trims to choose from. With the arrival of more standard equipment, the base LX trim has become an even better bang for the buck. Just a few of its highlights include a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and satellite radio.

Larger 20-inch alloy wheels give the SX trim a more muscular stance. It also receives additional interior upgrades, such as heated front seats and a wireless phone charger. Another option is the leather-appointed EX trim, which adds ventilated front seats and a Smart Power Tailgate.

The all-new EX X-Line trim is perfect for adventurous families. Its increased ground clearance and standard AWD system with center-locking differential prepare you to hit the trails.

The SX trim is even more luxurious. When sitting behind the wheel, its dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays will immediately catch your attention. Niceties, such as dual sunroofs and a Harman Kardon premium sound system, make the SX trim more upscale. While the SX X-Line trim is similarly equipped, it has a more rugged character. Meanwhile, all-terrain tires are featured on the SX X-Pro trim. Kia also offers SX Prestige, SX Prestige X-Line, and SX Prestige X-Pro trims.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2023 Telluride Have?

The Telluride's modern V6 engine cranks out a brawny 291 horsepower. An eight-speed automatic transmission ushers power to the wheels. When equipped with a heavy-duty cooling system, this SUV can now tow a maximum of 5,500 pounds.

What Safety Features Does the 2023 Telluride Include?

Standard Kia Drive Wise safety technologies help the Telluride to inspire you with confidence. Just a few of these advanced driving aids include Automatic Emergency Braking with Junction Turning Detection. Blind Spot Detection and Smart Cruise Control.
