The Kia Telluride has been a standout in the competitive midsize SUV segment since its debut, and the 2026 model marks the start of a new generation for this popular vehicle. As a Kia dealership serving Amherst, NY, we're excited to walk you through what's new and different about the 2026 Kia Telluride compared to the outgoing 2025 model.

Exterior Styling Updates

The fresh exterior design is the most noticeable change for the 2026 Kia Telluride. Kia has overhauled the front-end styling, giving the Telluride a bold new look with updated headlights, grille, and front bumper. Despite the makeover, the new Telluride retains a similar overall silhouette and dimensions compared to the 2025 model, so it will still be instantly recognizable on the roads of Buffalo and beyond.

Under the Hood

Kia has also made some updates to the Telluride's powertrain for 2026. While horsepower and torque figures have not been released yet, we expect the proven 3.8-liter V6 engine to carry over with some potential tweaks for improved performance and efficiency. As more details are released, our knowledgeable sales team in Amherst, NY will be happy to review the specifics.
