Its aerodynamic appeal is shown by the body’s flush door handles, floating wheel cladding, and chiselled creases. To help preserve the instantly identifiable Telluride identity, the rear design stays muscular with vertically aligned tail lamps that mimic the front’s distinctive lighting arrangement. With a wraparound dashboard, metal accents, and wood-like textures, the interior is large and horizontal.

The SUV maintains its boxy yet contemporary appearance despite being longer, broader, and taller than before. In the meantime, the extended wheelbase improves overall practicality and interior space. The Telluride’s new front features include sculpted hood lines, a prominent high-gloss grille area, and vertical LED lighting.
The brand’s newest SUV, the Kia Telluride, is scheduled to go on sale in early 2026. Due to their similar underpinnings and other features, the three-row premium SUV and the Hyundai Palisade headed for India have a lot in common. Although official powertrain specs are yet unknown, a 3.5L V6 engine with 287 horsepower and a 2.5L turbo hybrid mill with about 329 horsepower are anticipated to continue.
With the help of useful features like foldable tables and reconfigurable storage, as well as soft ambient lighting, Kia has concentrated on creating a room that feels both luxurious and inviting. Better headroom and better access to the second and third rows are also benefits of increased length and height. The X-Pro trim has true off-road credentials and a more rugged appearance.

All-terrain tyres, improved ground clearance, recovery hooks, blacked-out accents, and elevated roof rails are added. The innovative Ground Lighting feature illuminates the space surrounding the SUV, adding both utility and aesthetic appeal. The twin vertical LED bars at the front and back embody Kia’s Star Map hallmark. There are now up to 21-inch wheel options available.
