The second generation Kia Telluride is already in the works and thanks to our colleagues at HealerTV we can exclusively share with you the very first pictures of a new prototype, captured in South Korea, showing for the first time the both the front and rear production lights. Codenamed as LQ2, Kia will add a long awaited Hybrid powertrain that can even improve the great success of the Korean SUV in the U.S. market.

Despite its initial conception for local consumption, the burgeoning demand for the Telluride in Korea underscores its global appeal and the brand’s potential for even broader market penetration.

Scheduled to start mass production by the end of next year, with sales kicking off in early 2026, this model is set to redefine expectations. Read more...
