Overview
- Kia released official teaser images showing a square-shouldered, upright silhouette with slim vertical LEDs and design cues inspired by diamond facets and the Rocky Mountains.
- The global debut is scheduled for November 20, 2025 at the Los Angeles Auto Show, with the press conference set for 9 a.m. PT and a livestream on Kia’s website, X/Kia, and YouTube.
- Teasers point to a more prominent front end with Star Map lighting and an EV9-like hood, plus two separate roof glass panes rather than a single panoramic sunroof.
- Reporting indicates the new model is expected to share underpinnings with Hyundai’s latest Palisade, including a 3.5-liter V6 (about 287 hp) and a 2.5-liter-based hybrid around 329 hp.
- The Telluride returns as a fully redesigned 2027 model-year SUV, with full specifications and technical details to be confirmed at the LA reveal.
