Kia’s largest model in North America, the Telluride mid-size SUV, is getting a mid-cycle facelift for the 2023MY.

Starting outside, the Telluride retains much of its design but gets new vertical headlights with standard LED bulbs and available fog lamps, updated taillights, revised bumpers, a new grille, reworked rear fascia, revised lower door garnishes and side sills, plus new wheel designs for every trim. It also gets extra colors for 2023: Midnight Lake Blue, Dawning Red, and Jungle Wood Green. Inside, the model gets Kia’s latest dual 12.3-inch display screens for the gauge cluster (which is optional) and the infotainment system. With that, the dashboard has been redesigned to accommodate the massive screen, as has the steering wheel. The model will also get new interior color packages.

A new power liftgate with an “Auto Close” function is also present. Owners will also be able to turn their smartphone or smartwatch into a Digital Key to lock and unlock the vehicle through Kia Connect. An in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot that can connect up to five devices to 4G LTE-based internet is also available. Kia Connect also introduces navigational benefits. Both the infotainment system and the maps will be capable of being updated over the air. The map will also benefit from “connected routing,” which Kia says uses real-time and predicted road information to calculate the optimal directions to your location. To keep you safe, the facelifted Telluride adds speed limit sign recognition and “Forward Collision Avoidance – Junction Turning” as standard, as well as navigation-based smart cruise control and a series of other additional collision avoidance technologies that aim to prevent accidents when drivers are turning left, going through intersections, changing lanes, and more. No changes in the powertrain department Powertrains, meanwhile, will be carried over for the 2023 model year. The Telluride is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 GDI engine that produces 291 hp (217 kW/295 PS) and 262 lb-ft (355 Nm) of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission is the only option, while all-wheel-drive is optionally available unless you get one of the two new trims, in which case it comes as standard. The new X-Line and X-Pro models seek to add a little off-road spice to the Telluride lineup. Starting with the former, it gets its own grille design, bridge-type roof rails, body-color door handles, “X-Line” badging, and exclusive 20-inch wheels. Inside, meanwhile, it gets “X-Line” embossing on the front seats and exclusive color packages. It’s not all aesthetic changes, though. The trim, which replaces the Nightfall Edition, comes with 10mm (0.4-inches) of added ground clearance, improved approach and departure angles, a tow mode for optimized trailering, an upgraded traction control system, and downhill brake control. The Telluride X-Pro, on the other hand, gets many of the same modifications plus some even more aggressive off-road features. That means exclusive 18-inch black wheels that come wrapped in 18-inch all-terrain tires from Continental. It also gets “X-Pro” badging and embossing on the front seats, as well as a 110-volt inverter outlet, and 5,500 lbs of towing capability, up from 5,000 lbs. Pricing has not yet been announced for the updated model. As before, the 2023 Kia Telluride will be built at the brand’s Georgia manufacturing facility alongside the K5, the Sportage, and the Sorento. PHOTO GALLERYmore photos...

Performance and PowerUnder the hood, the latest Telluride is nearly identical to its predecessors. The 2023 Telluride comes equipped with the same 3.8-liter V-6 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission as previous models and continues to offer 291 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. The naturally aspirated engine should offer roughly the same fuel economy as the 2022 Kia Telluride.

With AWD, you’ll have Snow and AWD Lock drive modes to help you to tackle the winter weather. The Telluride calibrates the ride height automatically for optimal control in any conditions. It features an independent suspension to deliver a smooth feeling. The standard towing capacity of 5,000 lbs can accommodate a wide variety of needs, and if you want to tow heavier items, you can select one of the new trim levels. The Telluride comes with Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and its 10-year/100,000-mile bumper-to-bumper coverage to protect your purchase. Exterior Styling and FeaturesThe 2023 Kia Telluride is available in three new colors. You can choose from Midnight Lake Blue, Jungle Wood Green, and Dawning Red. A reshaped front grille gives the new Telluride a strong appearance that perfectly complements the power that you’ll find under the hood.

You’ll enjoy newly designed alloy wheels for every trim level. Interior ComfortsSlide behind the wheel of the 2023 Kia Telluride, and you’ll find a newly designed steering wheel and sleek new dashboard. The dual-screen digital displays present the instrument gauges and infotainment system on a single panel, where you can get all the information that you need at a glance. The dash features have been upgraded to 12.3-inch displays in place of the 10.3-inch displays that were available in the previous version. Revised HVAC vents and trim panels compliment the new interior color packages to create a sophisticated look and feel. The 2023 Telluride is as spacious as ever with three-row seating for eight. This model is expected to offer the same roominess as the 2022 model, with 41.4 in of legroom in the first row, 42.4 in of legroom in the second row, and 31.4 in of legroom for third-row passengers.
