Overview
- Kia released official teaser images showing an upright, square-shouldered silhouette with thin vertical LED elements, diamond-like fender creases, and a rising beltline that meets a forward-raking D-pillar to create a floating-roof effect.
- The global unveiling is scheduled for Nov. 20 at 9 a.m. Pacific during Kia’s LA Auto Show press conference, with a livestream on the company’s website, X/Kia, and YouTube.
- Automotive outlets report the new Telluride is expected to share architecture with the redesigned Hyundai Palisade, including a 3.5-liter V6 and a hybrid setup around 329 hp, though Kia has not confirmed powertrains.
- Visual details noted by reviewers include slimmer amber daytime running lights and what appear to be two separate roof glass panels on higher trims.
- Early figures circulating for fuel economy, driving range of 600-plus miles, and a starting price just under $40,000 remain estimates until Kia publishes official specifications.
