As a reminder, the 2024 Kia Telluride in all forms is just $100 more expensive than the 2023 model. Besides the return of amber running lights, the X-Line and X-Pro trims got gloss black trim around the headlights, grille, doors, and bumpers, replacing the dark metallic silver finish previously used. All versions continue to use the 3.8-liter V6 producing 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, which goes to either the front axle or all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
With a capable engine, attractive pricing, and headlights that customers love, the Telluride is sure to continue racking up impressive sales figures. Let’s hope the same customer-based decisions are made in the brand’s electric era, in which the combustion-free Kia EV9 will take over from the Telluride.
