Kia America has just dropped a new video teaser that celebrates the legacy of the Kia Telluride, while confirming the official debut date for the next-generation model: November 20, 2025, that coincidentally is when the 2025 LA Auto Show begins.
Proudly Designed and Assembled in America
The teaser opens with a nostalgic look back at West Point, Georgia, where the very first Telluride SUV rolled off the production line seven years ago. Kia highlights the hard work and vision of the American workforce that made the original Telluride an award-winning SUV and a fan favorite.
“Seven years ago, the first Telluride SUV was designed and assembled in America. The people of West Point, GA, set out to build something nothing short of great. But they didn’t stop there,” says Kia in the teaser description.
This message isn’t just sentimental — it’s a statement. Kia is signaling that the next-generation Telluride will push boundaries even further in design, technology, and performance.
A Legacy of Excellence Meets a New Era
Since its debut, the Kia Telluride has become a benchmark in the midsize SUV segment, praised for its bold styling, spacious interior, and value-packed features. It has earned multiple “SUV of the Year” awards and helped elevate Kia’s brand image in North America.
The upcoming model, set to break cover on November 20, 2025, is expected to build on that legacy with a completely refreshed exterior, advanced tech features, and possibly new powertrain options — potentially including hybrid or plug-in hybrid variants to align with Kia’s electrification strategy.
