The Kia Telluride will be all-new for 2023. Kia is unveiling the third-row crossover SUV on April 13th. In the meantime, here are the first images of the vehicle and what we know about its powertrain.
Will the 2023 Kia Telluride have AWD?
According to Kia, one major change for 2023 is the that the Kia Telluride will offer AWD. We expect the AWD trims to also feature a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbocharged engine rated for 375 horsepower.

How do we know this? The 2023 Kia Telluride will likely share Hyundai’s all-new M3 platform with the 2022 Genesis GV80. The RWD GV80 has a 2.5-liter turbocharged I4. But the AWD version gets a more powerful V6.
The 2022 Genesis GV80–and the M3 platform underpinning it–won multiple awards for excellent engineering. This includes J.D. Power’s highest-rated new vehicle and our own MotorBiscuit SUV of the year. This chassis should be a major upgrade for the 2023 Kia Telluride.
