There are not many changes, but they are there. In particular, the off-road vehicle received a different radiator grille and a new KIA nameplate.

Plus, the Koreans have expanded the list of basic equipment.

The most affordable version of the model now has a multimedia system display increased to 10.25 inches (previously it was 8.0 ″), climate control and a highway autopilot.

The Kia Telluride powertrain line has not changed. The large crossover can still be ordered exclusively with the 3.8-liter V6 petrol engine.

Kia has modestly updated its Telluride crossover, which is recognized as «worldwide» but is not available everywhere.

In the new model year, the five-meter SUV of the Korean brand has changed little in appearance, and the engine is the same.

But the list of standard equipment has been expanded.

The three-row crossover Kia Telluride made its debut in 2019, and the following year it won the main award of the prestigious World Car Of The Year (2020 season), beating the Mazda 3 and Mazda CX-30 in the final.

It is curious that, unlike the «three-ruble», the truly global SUV of the Kia brand is still not: it is sold in North America and the Middle East.

Well, the main market for Telluride is the United States, where it is in very good demand. So, in 2020, 75,129 units were sold there (in the States, sales started in February 2019, in eleven months the model sold 58,604 copies), the result in January-May of this year was 37,825 units (twice as much as a year earlier).

And now the American Telluride has been slightly modified.

The cross received a modernized grille and new emblems.

The Nightfall version also remained in service, its features — its own grille (compared to the 2021 model year, it has not changed) and black decor instead of chrome.

The interior design was not changed, but the equipment was shaken up.

All versions now have a track autopilot, a multimedia system with a 10.25-inch touchscreen (previously the «simple» versions had an 8-inch screen) and climate control (previously the base crossover had an air conditioner).

The technique is the same: in the States, the Kia Telluride is available with an uncontested gasoline «aspirated» V6 3.8 (295 hp), which is combined with an eight-speed «automatic». Drive — front or full.

In the 2022 model year, the crossover has risen in price.

The price of the basic version, excluding shipping, now starts at $ 32,790 (about 2,377,000 rubles at the current exchange rate), which is $ 600 (43,500 rubles) more than asked for last year’s model.

There is still no information about the prospects for the appearance of Kia Telluride in Russia, although its brother — Hyundai Palisade — has nevertheless reached our market.

Well, the title of the flagship SUV of the Kia brand we have the frame Mohave, which was also recently updated.
