2023 Kia Telluride Changes
The Telluride has always been a firm favourite in the three-row SUV segment since its first introduction in 2020. Some may even argue that it’s the best SUV that Kia has ever produced. We expect that critics will keep the SUV’s top rating with the 2023 model coming to showroom floors with the availability of two new ‘adventure ready’ trims with unique features.
Additionally, buyers can look forward to an updated luxurious interior, enormous cabin and cargo space, and technology features that’ll rival even the best opulent SUV brands. All this will be included with an affordable price and a great warranty from the manufacturer. We reviewed the 2023 Kia Telluride changes and new trims to bring you this complete review.

Key Features
The dashboard gets a nip and tuck, and a new steering wheel and controls are easy to understand and reach. In addition, you’ll get a 31.24cm touchscreen, an instrument panel, and a six-speaker sound system as standard.You’ll be able to fit adults in the third row comfortably, and driving visibility is excellent. In addition, the outside of the SUV received a retouch in the front and back. The grille has been enlarged, and the design has been updated to a dual bar.
One of our favourite driver safety aids is the advanced cruise control. This technology allows the vehicle to stop and go in traffic, and it’ll change lanes when the driver activates the turn signal.
The intelligent speed warning system will alert you of changing traffic speeds and slow down the vehicle in certain instances. Other safety technologies include a safe-exit assist system, a highway-drive assist system, and a blind-spot monitor.
