For all the right reasons, the Kia Telluride was named the 2020 Global Vehicle of the Year.

Even in its design, this Vehicle was a whole package that was quite desirable.

The first-generation Kia Telluride (which debuted in 2020) is still the basis for the 2023 model,

[{"selector":"#anim-4856a6fd-cbda-4e52-9fd6-23ed61ae7f42 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-10.751562261842%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd7fd4ab-5813-407f-b1ac-918b611053c0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b23d3f7d-374b-4cd0-a468-9b988e4bafe3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-211d0a6d-570e-43f6-8ae0-4d50a7957acc","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

but it receives a long list of inside and exterior improvements.

[{"selector":"#anim-97588cc0-7001-4c4d-add0-832a04ed8c88 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.499999772451451%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7ebf283d-6606-4171-9a10-3c0588f6be48","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.45741%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ed086d6d-7586-4d45-bb65-3298a8216c9c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7fe6735b-69e0-41fc-b218-a6c5e0738b26","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Two new off-road-spec trims give it a more unique external look with new LED lighting and a beefier attitude

The inside has also seen a significant revamp with a redesigned dashboard and floating curved glass

While there are no changes to the engine, the towing capacity has been increased to 5,500 pounds
