Yahoo Autos 2022 Kia Telluride receives the new corporate face and more equipment
Kia's three-row Telluride is on a roll, but the South Korean firm can't afford to rest on its laurels. It made small but meaningful updates to the crossover for the 2022 model year to help it fend off a growing list of competitors.
Outside, the biggest update is a redesigned grille that proudly wears Kia's updated logo. Inside, Kia upholds its reputation for building value-packed cars by making more equipment standard on the lower trim levels. LX and S variants (the cheapest members of the range) benefit from the 10.25-inch touchscreen that was previously standard only on EX models and up. Both trims also gain an automatic climate control system for the front and rear passengers as well as Kia's Highway Driving Assist technology. S models now offer a wireless device charger, too.
Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control-Curve (NSCC-C) becomes standard across the range for 2022. It's a system that relies on navigation data to recognize curves, different speed limits (even temporary ones), and other factors and adjust the cruise control's set speed accordingly. For example, it knows when the Telluride is about to enter a school zone or when there is a bend in the road that it needs to slow down for.
