For the 2023 model year, Telluride undergoes a styling refresh. The updates that are done to make it more attractive include an updated grille, redesigned headlamps, and a new front bumper. Interior is also upgraded by the addition of a new all-digital instrument panel with dual 12.3-inch screens serving as infotainment and gauge displays. More rugged-looking X-line and X-Pro trims join the lineup this year. Kia offers Telluride now in six trim levels: S, EX, LX, SX, X-Line, and X-Pro. Telluride LX 2023 is powered by a 3.8-liter Lambda V6 engine paired with an Electronically-Controlled 8-Speed Automatic Transmission. The engine produces 291 hp @ 6,000 rpm horsepower and gives 262 lb.-ft. @ 5,200 rpm torque. This SUV is offered in two drive train types: Front-Wheel Drive and All-Wheel Drive. Telluride LX FWD gives a fuel economy of 20 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway. A 3.8L engine and FWD give an acceleration of 0-60 mph in about 7.1 seconds, and its top speed is capped at 141 mph. It is the best three-row family SUV with a big and bold body. It has a unibody construction. Inside, the cabin is comfortable and loaded with a long list of available tech and safety features. Its standard infotainment features include Smartphone integration, navigation, and Bluetooth functionality, along with a six-speaker sound system. The main point of attraction is its safety suite containing blind-spot monitoring, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision avoidance, rear cross-traffic alert, navigation-based adaptive cruise control, and parking assist all coming standard.
