Recently, Kia made its world debut at the 2022 New York International Auto Show with "The new Telluride".
The "new Telluride" unveiled this time is a mid-term redesign of Telluride launched after a gap of three years, and is scheduled to be launched in the North American market in the second half of the year.
The front part of the car, the black technology stripe Land Rover type grille, very domineering. Vertical LED headlight cluster design is adopted on both sides. Four LED daytime running lights have been added to the left and right sides under the bumper.
The side lines of the body are still rounded and smooth, and the 20-inch black alloy wheels add to the sporty feel.
The tail light design of the "L" shape was maintained at the rear, and a design was adopted that extended the vertical light down to the bumper.
For customers who prefer outdoor living, the new car also adds an "X-Pro" trim based on an "X-Line" element design and enhanced off-road characteristics.
The 'X-Line' trim embodies a powerful off-road SUV image by applying dark metallic colors to the radiator grille, front bumper and rear bumper trims. Added an exclusive exterior color Jungle Wood Green.
The roof rack is more stout, the 20-inch exclusive wheels feature black highlights for a solid and luxurious feel, and the "X-Line" exclusive badge is added to the rear.
In addition, ground clearance has been increased by 10 mm compared to the base model, and trailer performance has been optimized, with sway control to prevent shaking and traction control (TCS) to improve vehicle performance on uneven roads. Improve drivability.
"X-Pro" is an addition of outdoor-specific features to the "X-Line". Featuring exclusive 18-inch black wheels and horse brand all-terrain tires, and adding a 110V inverter in the third row of luggage compartments, it can charge smart devices even on long journeys.
In terms of interior, it adopts two large screens of 12.3 inches, which is the same design as K5 and Jawa. The four-frame steering wheel is very calm. Chrome trim through the centre console connects the air conditioning outlets.
Telluride's length x height x width are 5000x1990x1750mm and the wheelbase is 2900mm. In terms of size, it belongs to the medium and large SUV, and the Tuon is a class model, with three rows of seats, and the space inside the car is spacious.
In addition, the gasoline 3.8L V6 engine and 8-speed automatic transmission are equipped with a gasoline 3.8L V6 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission with a maximum output of 291 hp and a maximum torque of 36.2 kgf.m.
ADAS functionality has also been enhanced. Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA), which warns you of speed limit information from the front camera or navigation system if speeding is exceeded and adjusts the speed to a safe driving speed. It also features Highway Driver Assistance 2 (HDA 2), which helps users drive more easily on highways and automotive-specific roads.
In addition, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA) is a new anti-collision assist feature for crossover vehicles (JC), overtaking vehicles (LO), side approach vehicles (LS) and EVAsive steering assist (ESA).
In addition, the new car offers a "digital key" that allows the vehicle to be remotely controlled through a smartphone app and ignition without the need for a smart key. LTE-based in-car Wi-Fi can connect up to 5 people, and the car system also supports over-the-air update function (OTA).
Telluride is a mid-size SUV launched by Kia for the U.S. market, and sales have been good. If you can make it domestically in China and compete for a ride on Tuon, I don't think there will be any problem.
