The KIA Telluride is one of the most impressive three-row SUVs with a luxe and roomy interior, refined driving dynamics, intuitive technology features, and high-value propositions. The upgrades in the new 2023 KIA Telluride have made it even better for drivers and passengers.
Performance
The 2023 KIA Telluride has a 3.8-liter V-6 engine that generates 291 horsepower plus 262 pounds of torque. Its maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds. However, with its tow package, the capacity increases to 5,500 pounds. The tow package includes a self-leveling rear suspension.
Front-wheel-drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission are standard for all trims, but you can use the optional for all-wheel-drive. The 2023 Telluride accelerates from 0-60 mph in seven seconds. Its suspension soaks up road bumps and gives it excellent maneuvering around corners, giving you a comfortable ride through different terrains.
Its fuel efficiency gives it EPA ratings of 26 mpg on highways and 20 mpg in the city in front-wheel-drive, which is average for midsize SUVs. The rates reduce 24 mpg on highways and 18 mpg in the city for all-wheel drive.
Interior
The 2023 KIA Telluride has a spacious and luxurious interior with seating for seven or eight people, depending on the layout. It can accommodate seven people with the captain's chairs and eight with a second-row bench seat. Since it is a few inches longer than the KIA Sorento, it has more space even in the rear seats, regardless of the travel distance.
There are a lot of padded and soft-touch surfaces throughout the cabin and a mix of wood and metallic accents. The SX trim has the most advanced features, like ventilated and heated rear seats, a head-up display, a premium headliner, driver's memory settings, and a Nappa leather upholstery.
Some features help minimize road noise and wind intrusion for a quieter ride. The 2023 Telluride's cargo space is 21 cubic feet with all seats up. However, once you fold the third-row seats, it increases to 46 cubic feet and 87 cubic feet with the second-row seats down. Interior colors include Grey, Terracotta, Sage Green, Mahogany, and Black.
Exterior
The 2023 Telluride's length is 16.4 feet, and its curb weight is between 4,134 and 4,524 pounds based on the trim level. The 2023 KIA Telluride comes in Everlasting Silver, Gravity Grey, Midnight Lake Blue, Glacial White Peral, Dawning Red, Wolf Grey, Jungle Green, Dark Moss, and Ebony Black.
Technology
The 2023 Telluride has a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with in-dash navigation, Apple Car Play, Android Auto, and onboard Wi-Fi. Lower trims include three small screens compromising the gauge cluster, but higher trims have a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. The screens have prompt responses, large icons, and crisp graphics. There are also well-positioned knobs and buttons for easier climate and audio adjustments.
Other interior technology features include USB charging ports in every row, 360-degree vents, roof-mounted rear climate control, Bluetooth, satellite radio, two 120-volt outlets, a six-speaker stereo, and a rear-seat entertainment system.
