The 2022 Kia Telluride sports a refreshing new look complete with a redesigned logo and Telluride emblem. This latest addition to Kia's SUV lineup is available in four select trims: LX, S, EX, and SX. All models feature a standard 3.8-liter V6 engine with 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque: no mean feat for a three-row SUV. 6 Exciting Features of the New 2022 Kia Telluride 1. Highway Driving Assist with Kia Drive Wise The new KIA offers numerous collision avoidance systems and an intuitive driving assistant that adjusts your cruising speed automatically to match changing freeway speed limits. For added safety, a built-in radar sensor with real-time alerts prevents collision with obstacles that suddenly appear on the road ahead. 2. A Crisp 10.25-Inch Infotainment Screen For easier navigation, a jumbo 10.25-inch touchscreen is standard on all trim levels. The connected Harman Kardon audio system adds premium sound to the mix for an enjoyable commute. You can also mirror your smartphone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for limitless entertainment during long drives. A head-up display comes in handy when you want to monitor your driving performance without losing focus on the road ahead 3. Heated and Ventilated Passenger Seats All the Telluride interior upgrades are tastefully done, but the seat design, although unassuming, packs quite a punch. Besides the LX base trim, all other models from the S trim and up offer heated and ventilated reclining chairs on the second row. The seats are also heavily padded, nicely contoured, with puffed-up headrests. Heated and ventilated front seats are also available from the mid-level S trim to the more prestigious SX package. 4. A Bold Driver's Cockpit with 4 Different Drive Modes When seated in the driver's seat, you have easy access to a four-button console that lets you switch between different driving modes--smart, eco, sport, and comfort--offering a superior on-road driving experience. No cockpit worth its salt is complete without a good comms system, and Kia's standard voice navigation system is no exception. You can speak to passengers in the rear cabin without much strain or navigate hands-free for added convenience. 5. Seamless Connectivity to Kia's UVO Link App The UVO link app by Kia offers convenient remote access to some certain features of your new Telluride. For instance, you can start your car remotely, so the engine is fully warmed up when it's time to hit the road. Or perhaps you'd like to adjust the cabin temperature? The UVO app lets you warm or cool the cabin from the comfort of your house. You can use a single command for this or keep a convenient recurring schedule on loop. 6. Smart Charging Technology Wireless charging comes standard with the 2022 Telluride, plus complimentary USB charge ports spread out across all three rows. Finally, you never have to jostle for charging space, even when the whole family is on board. These features, and many more, transform the new Telluride into a reliable family hauler.
