First Look at the 2024 Telluride

Plenty of Room

The Kia Telluride has made waves in the full-size SUV market since its debut in the 2020 model year. With room for cargo and utility for almost any occasion, the Telluride serves almost any purpose. Whether you’re headed to soccer practice or on a road trip, this SUV fits the bill.

The Chevy Traverse, Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, and Honda Pilot have all dominated for years, but this decade, Kia emerged with a new contender which is quickly winning over consumers and climbing the ranks amongst experts and car enthusiasts. The Telluride offers thoughtful and attractive design, premium and luxury features, as well as the latest in technology at a competitive price point. This three-row SUV offers 10 trim lines so you can find the right fit for everyday life. We’re taking a deep dive into the SX-Prestige X-Line today so you can see what the Telluride has to offer.

Exploring the SX-Prestige X-Line

Exploring the SX Prestige X-Line model for the first time, the appeal is immediately evident. Cargo space offers ample room and seats can be folded down to fit:

• Sports equipment
• Groceries 
• Oversized luggage
• Large items for home and garden

The second-row Captain’s Chairs or bucket seat option on the Telluride SX Prestige X-Line offers more comfort than most of the other models in the field. This trim offers heated and ventilated seats, independent climate control, a sunroof, two USB-C ports, a standard AC outlet, and an additional DC port. This allows passengers to simultaneously charge and operate an iPhone, Nintendo Switch, headphones, and even a laptop.

Towing & Technology

Towing mode with adjustable weight profiles make the 5,500 lb towing capacity easier to use. Drive mode selections for Sport, Snow, Economy, and Comfort are joined by a Smart mode that learns the driver’s style and patterns. Driver Assist technology increases safety and travel. This includes new highway driving and lane change assist features on top of blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic, forward collision, and other accident avoidance functions.

What’s New for 2024

For the 2024 model year, X-Line trims have amber daytime running lights rather than white. The X-Line also comes with Gloss Black exterior elements including Front Grille and Trim, Window Surround, and Lower-door garnish. This gives a nod towards the 2021 and 2022 Nightfall Edition.

The overall experience of the Telluride is an all-purpose vehicle for the family that doesn’t miss in any category. The SUV offers the feel of a luxury vehicle with the same attention to the comfort and needs of its occupants, as well as transportation capabilities under wide-ranging conditions.
