Kia
The 2024
What’s New?
Kia updated the Telluride last year with a new logo and beautiful inside curved digital display that is easy to see and to navigate. New for 2024 are amber daytime running lights and a glossy black exterior trim.
Interior
The interior is all luxury with an easy-to-use big touchscreen which is curved and fits well in the interior design. The beautiful leather seats are comfy with lumbar adjustments, driver’s seat memory settings, and both front and second row seats offering heat and ventilation. We also loved the video screen rearview mirror and the Driver Talk feature, which directs the driver’s voice into the stereo speakers so riders in the back can easily hear the driver.
The V-6 engine provides a smooth and powerful ride with 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.
Driving is a breeze with their driver assist technologies including a smart cruise control, highway driving assist for lane changes and forward collision avoidance with cyclist detection. The 12.3-inch touchscreen includes Apple Carplay, Android Auto capability, and onboard WiFi.

Exterior
The strong front grille design, raised roof rails and available accessories including bike and kayak carriers, roof cargo basket and a variety of roof rack crossbars make this model stylish and functional for any road trip. The black-painted 20-inch wheels also give it a stylish exterior.
The Kia Telluride SX Prestige X starts at $54,750.
I loved driving this model from LA to San Diego. I found it a nicer drive than many luxury SUV’s that are at a much higher price point. The interior was super comfortable, the tech was easy to use and the drive was smooth and a dream with all the driver assist options.
