To go off road on a Telluride, the differential can be locked, downhill brake control (to ensure an even descent) engaged, and “AWD Lock” mode selected. It’s possible to be listening to Bach on the 10-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system in a crisply modern Nappa leather interior while fording a stream or negotiating a goat path. This Telluride is aiming for the package that makes vehicles like the Jeep Grand Wagoneer, Range Rover, and such high-priced exotica as the Rolls-Īttractive. It’s no sports car, but it also doesn’t feel top-heavy as some SUVs do. What’s more important, ultimately, is how the Telluride performs on pavement, and here it acquitted itself quite well, with nary a squeak or rattle. The extra ground clearance really helped, and there was only one moment when the front apron made contact with the red Texas dirt. The Kia held on over steep inclines and went nearly sideways without losing its grip. The X-Line was taken off road on a course at the exotic game ranch lunch spot. Penta recently drove a 2023 SX-Prestige X-Line V6 with all-wheel drive (US$54,120) and an otherwise-similar X-Pro (US$55,120) in the hill country near San Antonio, Texas. What really matters is highway performance, and the Telluride is exceptionally quiet and rattle-free. Probably the biggest news for 2023 is the addition of X-Line (replacing Nightfall) and X-Pro models, with the former aimed at off-road (four-tenths of an inch greater ground clearance, enhanced traction control, better approach, and departure angles, downhill brake control, and raised roof rails) and the latter at towing (its own 18-inch wheels, a 110-volt inverter in the cargo area, and a 5,800-pound towing limit, up from 5,000 pounds). In 2022, the Telluride got a new tri-zone automatic climate control. In 2021 a new heating system was introduced, along with remote start and a now-discontinued Nightfall Edition. “It’s all about continuous improvement,” says That body style now makes up 70 to 75 percent of sales in North America.

Kia’s US$1.8 billion plant in West Point, Georgia, which produces the Telluride and Sorrento crossovers, as well as the K5 midsize sedan, has churned out 3.5 million vehicles since 2009, according to Production capacity has been raised for 2023. The model is experiencing growing popularity, with 75,120 sold in the U.S.
