Technology
The Telluride has always had first in its class technology, so let's look at what's new for this year's Kia Telluride. Driver Talk and Quiet Mode are two of our favorite features that now come standard with each 2023 Telluride model. Driver Talk allows the driver's voice to go through the rear speakers, so there's no need to yell when talking to passengers in the back.

Interior
While always considered a very roomy midsize SUV, this 2023 Kia Telluride's interior is as spacious as ever, accommodating up to eight passengers. Although the Telluride is equipped with stadium seating (each row is slightly higher than the row before), there is still plenty of headspace for even the tallest passengers.Â
If you're worried about trunk space, don't! There is plenty of space with the third row up, 21 cubic feet. However, if you want even more space, fold the third row down, and you'll gain 25 extra cubic feet.Â

Exterior
Although the Kia Telluride has kept the same chunky exterior that everyone loves, there have been a few tweaks to the 2023 model. The most noticeable change about the 2023 Kia Telluride is its new LED headlights and taillights. However, its most defining characteristics have stayed the same. There are a few new paint colors for consumers to choose from Midnight Lake Blue, Dawning Red, and Jungle Green Wood.Â
