Tech gains for the 2023 model include a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen display with built-in navigation and an available 12.3-inch digital instrument panel. Safety updates include the addition of Kia’s most advanced Highway Driving Assist 2 with lane change assist as an option, as well as enhancements to the forward collision avoidance system that improve functionality when turning or crossing a junction and when changing lanes. Two new light off-road packages, the X-Line and more serious X-Pro, give the Telluride a more aggressive exterior appearance and slightly improve its off-road prowess. The powertrain carries over, however, and is still a 3.8-liter V-6 with 291 horsepower.
The 2023 Telluride is available in four trims: LX, S, EX and SX. All four trims are available with either FWD or all-wheel drive for an additional $2,000. Pricing before adding option packages or AWD is below:
The Prestige Package, available on the AWD SX, costs $2,900 more and adds premium upholstery and additional comfort and convenience features, including a 10-inch head-up display. The new X-Line Package, available on AWD versions of the EX ($2,195) and SX ($1,395), adds roof rails, 20-inch wheels, an additional towing driving mode with trailer sway control and tweaks the traction control system. The SX’s more hardcore X-Pro Package ($2,395) adds smaller 18-inch wheels and all-terrain tires. Both X packages increase the Telluride’s towing capacity by 500 pounds to 5,500. The Prestige and X-Pro packages can be combined on the SX for a plush, off-road-adjacent Telluride. Read the full article here
