• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

2023 Kia Telluride Pictures (Official)

Not a huge fan of what they have going on for the front & rear bumpers for the x pro but interested to see the regular SX.

Yea my thoughts exactly. I actually think the new headlights look pretty nice but the huge clown mouth “rugged” cladding on these X line models is almost a deal breaker for me. Definitely interested to see the regular SX and available colors. Kind of disappointed overall though as I was hoping to get a 2023 SX Wolf Gray nightfall and I’m guessing now that wolf gray will only be available on these “rugged” trims.

The interior is a clear upgrade however so that’s great.
 
More truckish in and out, especially the inside is not as elegant

Rear bumper I'm fine with. Front, I think they should have left the lettering for Telluride, imho. Different nose shape always takes a little getting used to. Does it seem like the front head lamps are more narrow, in additional to internal pattern etc?
 
They have ruined what I believe is an iconic headlight assembly. The new headlights look god awful
At first I wasn't a fan of the headlamps in the early days, but now when I see them off in the distance, I get excited wondering what flavor Telly is approaching.
 
The 2020-2021 models have a cleaner, classier-looking front-end.
 
I agree with the earlier models having a cleaner front end, but the X-pro looks nice. I wasnt sure at first, but i think its a bold move to do it and that kind of confidence is well received from buyers. I feel there will be more details for the non X lines, but i think its another step towards improving the off-road line and broadening the reach they are getting with the Telluride. I wont get done, but i think its a nice extension of an already incredible line up.
______________________________
 
Wonder what line ups they will have? Personally, needing bench seating, will I still be able to get the X Line with the darker trim? Or will that darker trim only be available for the captain chairs? Never made sense to me why Kia did it like that. Will I be able to order the brown interior with the bench?
 
So Nightfall will no longer be on the SX or lower trims? Only on the X Line?
 
I've uploaded a few photos I've found around this forum to keep them under this topic of 2023 photos. I'm specifically interested in exterior photos. I was hoping others might contribute pictures they've found since we don't have any official place to go to look at all of the color options. I'd love to see more in other colors and trim levels, especially given that the exterior was (unfortunately) modified. Bonus points for pictures of cars in real life (not the promotional ones that are computer enhanced). Without really knowing what these new models look like, I hope this helps others place their orders.

Wolf Gray and White ext. colors with all black wheel rims are SX (P?) X-Line.
White and Gravity gray ext. colors with a small amount of silver on the wheel rim is just the SX or SX-P trim.

And here are some promotional pictures. We've all seen the blue color, so I won't post those. I think these might be Gravity Gray. In these pictures, it's hard to gauge what the actual colors might look like in real sun light. Specially, the grill edge trim and lower front fascia colors seem off. They look darker than what they might be IRL.

Gravity Gray is SX X-Line.
