Small Overlap Front & Updated Side Tests: Kia’s advanced engineering ensures the Telluride offers robust protection from all angles.
Pedestrian Front Crash Prevention: The Telluride’s systems were tested for performance in daytime and nighttime conditions, ensuring superior safety in real-world scenarios.
