The Telluride is all about big skies, desert roads, mountain passes, shady forests, smooth highways, and long coastal drives. The largest Kia ever, it provides comfortable seating for up to eight, a powerful 291-hp 3.8-litre V6, available active on-demand all-wheel drive, and an inspiring view of the world. In short, the Kia Telluride offers potential for exploration and adventure every time it's on the road.

Telluride is the first Kia designed specifically for the U.S. and is a product of the Kia Design Center in Irvine, CA. From the first pencil stroke it was meant to convey the kind of presence associated with the original legendary SUVs - big, bold and boxy - and the go-anywhere, do-anything attitude their square, burly-shouldered shapes suggested. The Kia Telluride's sophisticated exterior accents also hint at its interior luxury. Main design cues include:

Long, broad hood and wide grille
Bold, stacked headlamps convey power and stability
Upright windshield and clean side profile conveys muscular tension
Inverted "L" tail lamps with LED stripes (standard on EX and SX trims)
Elongated nameplates on the leading edge of the hood and on the liftgate provide distinctive identity for flagship SUV
Sculpted rear skid plate with integrated twin exhaust tips reference off-road ability and power (standard on S, EX and SX trims)
