According to a statement from Kia, the starting price of the 2023 Telluride will be $35,690 when it hits showrooms later this month. This price increase above the $33,390 pricing from the previous year demonstrates that customers will also receive some additional items. Kia has changed Telluride's appearance and trims for the 2023 model year. So let's examine what has changed for the Telluride in 2023.
A redesigned grille, new headlights, a new front bumper, new side skirts, and updated wheels make up the exterior's revamped look.
The revamped rear fascia, new taillights, and updated color scheme that now includes Midnight Lake Blue, Dawning Red Jungle, and Wood Green are some other features.
The 2023 Telluride's interior has undergone more improvements, including a revised dashboard with shorter air vents and an updated steering wheel. The new 12.3-inch infotainment system, which replaces the 10.25-inch display from last year, will also catch people's attention.
The curved display in SX and higher grades are the interior improvement that stands out the most. It has a 12.3-inch infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
All Tellurides have a 3.8-liter V6 engine underneath the hood that produces 291 horsepower and 355 Nm of torque. It is coupled to an optional all-wheel drive system with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The introduction of the all-wheel-drive-standard X-Line and X-Pro variants is one of the trim's most noticeable changes. Body-color door handles, exclusive 20-inch wheels, a special grille, "bridge-type" roof rails, and "X-Line" imprinting on the front seats are all features exclusive to X-Line versions.
However, the increased approach and departure angles as well as the additional 10 mm of ground clearance seen on X-Line variants make them more noteworthy. A tow mode and an enhanced traction control system are also available to buyers.
Variants of the X-Line known as the X-Pro replace the 20-inch wheels with black 18-inch wheels fitted with Continental all-terrain tires. Additionally, the front seats have "X-Pro" embossing, the cargo area has a 110-volt outlet, and the towing capacity has been increased to 2,517 kg.
