In distant South Korea the sighting has occurred. At the moment the development process takes place in Korean lands. This update will come shortly after the brand made minor adjustments to the range. And it is that, for example, the Telluride was recently adapted to the KIA’s new corporate image. It premiered its logo and new features in terms of equipment and customization.
But, beyond these supply adjustments, we are now facing a true facelift. Under the camouflage that the test vehicle presents, important changes in terms of design are hidden. Some changes that will be concentrated in the front and rear. Both headlamps will be checked brand new light signature. The bumpers will also be new. You will also have to pay close attention to the grill.
At this time we do not have the opportunity to take a look at the cabin. Now, based on the facelifts that the South Korean brand has accustomed us to, it is likely that most of the resources will be allocated to increase the technological endowment. It is not ruled out that the most equipped versions have a larger touch screen that will be combined with a fully digital instrumentation.
