Kia is unveiling the revamped 2023 Telluride at the Javits Center for the New York International Auto Show, and not surprisingly, the Telluride will now include Kia's absolutely wild 12.3-inch curved display screens.
The curved and seamless 12.3-inch unit incorporates the gauge cluster, navigation, Kia's built in infotainment network, Apple CarPlay, a wide array of settings, conventional audio controls, or basically whatever you need it to. And it's by no means the only tech upgrade in the revamped Telluride.
The head-up display is upgraded from 8.5 to 10 inches and includes more available info. Power liftgate functionality will now include Auto Close. There'll be an optional Full Display Mirror. The Kia Access App allows you to use Kia Connect services through your Apple Watch to control the climate settings, door locks, and more. There's now navigation-based smart cruise control that, "leverages the navigation system to lower the vehicle's speed practively before upcoming curves in the road." The 2023 Telluride will be available with Intelligent Speed Limit Assist and Highway Driving Assist 2. The Forward Collision Avoidance system also includes upgrades for Junction Turning, Junction Crossing, Lane Change Oncoming, Lane Change Side, and Evasive Steering Assist.
You get the idea – the Telluride is more advanced than ever. We don't yet know how all the trim levels will break down for Canada (the U.S. model is pictured), but there may even be an available enhancement in towing capacity, up from 5,000 to 5,500 pounds.
Plus, Kia has somehow managed to make the Telluride look even better for 2023. It's all in the smallest of touches, with altered headlamps and taillamps, new bumpers and grille, new rear fascia, revised side sills, and new wheel designs.
