The company is calling the Telluride a styling exercise that lets them explore the idea of a luxury seven-passenger SUV. Its interior features a folding third-row bench seat and four black leather captain’s seats, the second row of which fold nearly flat and include fold-away footrests.
The four seats also include “Smart Sensors” that can take and then measure occupants vital health information. The Telluride uses these sensors, along with a Light Emitted Rejuvenation (LER) system, to project therapeutic light patterns across the roof of the vehicle to treat jet lag and improve passenger energy levels.
The second row also features Swipe Command, a thin, touchscreen-like band mounted to the center console that lets back seat occupants control the infotainment system. The interior is completed with several 3D-printed components.
The styling of the Telluride, born of the company’s California studio, is designed to be bold but very much of modern SUV design language; it rides on a strecthed Sorento chassis, and is about 9.5 inches longer than its smaller sibling. Power comes from a hybrid drivetrain made up of a 3.5-litre GDI V6 engine and an electric motor together putting 400 horsepower to all four wheels. Kia estimates it’d return about 30 mpg highway. While the company has said the Telluride will not make it to production, it has hinted very strongly that a similar vehicle will almost definitely come to market at some point soon.
