Review: 2023 Kia Telluride
The 2023 Kia Telluride has been updated with new styling and a new X-Pro trim, which adds off-road capability. Fox News Digital Autos Editor Gary Gastelu reviews.
Kia is big on electric vehicles. Very big.
The automaker has revealed the final production version of its upcoming EV9 electric SUV.
The Telluiride-size model has three rows of seats and is set to be the roomiest electric vehicle on sale.
The boxy styling creates a voluminous interior, and it has a front trunk under its hood.
