The three-row Kia Telluride SUV announced new pricing and trim levels for 2023.
The U.S.-made SUV increased pricing across all trims, starting with the base LX. It has jumped from $33,390 to $35,690. The top SX-Prestige package starts at $50,390. But the top EX, SX, and Prestige models now have two more trim options: X-Line AWD and X-Pro AWD.
The top-of-the-line X-Pro on the Prestige comes out to $52,785—not including destination fees. The mid-tier EX with the X-Line trim is $45,458. The Telluride is often compared to the Hyundai Palisade, which starts higher.
The Pro trims offer all-wheel drive and better light off-road capability. The interior at this level is refreshed with a redesigned dash and center console with dual 12.3-inch panoramic screens with mapping. The trim level includes a standard Wi-Fi hotspot and advanced-driving assistance on the highway. The SUV was new for 2020 and not much has changed aesthetically beyond a logo redesign since its initial release.
The newest Telluride will be at Kia dealerships throughout October.
