The second generation Telluride is no longer just a facelift, but a serious modernization of a large SUV that has gained considerable popularity in the North American market since 2019. Over the years, the model has established itself as the brand's flagship family car, offering drivers a combination of spaciousness, convenience, and powertrain in an elegant design.
Judging by the published official photos, the new model will retain the characteristic vertical sections of the main headlights and taillights, but the lighting will become noticeably more expressive, and the front grille will be larger. The body is also likely to grow in dimensions: the current generation has a length of 5001 mm and a wheelbase of 2900 mm, so the 2025 Telluride could become even more spacious.
There are no official details about the interior yet, but experts predict that the car will retain the signature panoramic digital instrument cluster and will offer seven- or eight-seat cabins.
In terms of technical specifications, the Telluride will likely share a platform with the new Hyundai Palisade. This implies the installation of a new naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 with an output of about 290 horsepower, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and front- or all-wheel drive. A hybrid HEV version is also expected, where a 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine will work together with an electric motor, with a total output of approximately 330–340 hp.
For Ukrainian buyers, the arrival of the new Kia Telluride is quite an important event: Kia is traditionally among the top five automakers in Ukraine, and given the growing demand for hybrid and family SUVs, the new Telluride generation could become one of the brand's most anticipated premieres this year.
