A bold new design announces the 2nd generation Kia Telluride
Firmly rooted in Kia’s Opposites United form language that embraces the contrasts between nature and humanity, the teaser images hint at a square shouldered, upright silhouette framed by thin vertical LEDs bathed in red and amber. Inspired by its namesake Colorado town, aggressively defined triangular creases in the fenders resemble the chiseled facets of a diamond and capture the essence of the towering Rocky Mountains.
A broad hood with clean, straight lines establishes a powerful stance. At the rear, the beltline rises subtly to intersect the D-pillar which rakes forward, suggesting movement even when the vehicle is sitting still. Black inserts at the top of the pillar make the flat roofline appear to float atop the windows. Broad fender surfaces give the vehicle a planted, authoritative presence while fluid body contours lend an elegant shape to the side profile.
Full details of the all-new 2027 Kia Telluride will be announced during the Kia press conference at the Los Angeles Auto Show, which is scheduled for November 20 at 9:00 am Pacific time. A livestream will be available to view at www.kia.com and Kia America’s social channels: X/Kia and YouTube
