Exterior
I want adventures that end on a high note
With bold capabilities and torque-vectoring all-wheel drive, the all-new Telluride 2023 is built for those who take each endeavor by storm.
Drive modes and AWD
During normal driving, the drive mode determines how power is distributed. Eco and Smart modes utilize front-wheel drive. Comfort and Snow modes deliver a portion of the drive to the rear wheels. Sport mode sends even more power to the rear wheels for spirited driving. To help maintain consistent control, AWD processors adjust torque flow to each wheel based on road conditions and driver input, including turning and braking.
Interior
The powerful new front-end look with first-class second row seating.
Drivers will indulge themselves in the polished and controlled design of the comfortable cockpit.The horizontal arrangement of instruments and design elements, including a floating AVN screen, is clean and uncluttered. Wood-pattern trim provides a clubhouse feel, while the sculpted handles of the console hint at the heart-pounding adventures that lie ahead.
Your own wide-open space
Telluride’s spacious interior seats seven or eight comfortably in three rows of reclining seats with unmatched legroom. The firm, comfortable seats are trimmed with double-stitched, quilted and extra-padded Nappa leather upholstery. A dual sunroof, with a sliding front section, brings light and fresh breezes to every seat.

Ventilated seats
Ventilated front seats use fans, heating elements and small perforations to help the driver and front passenger get and stay comfortable. Ventilated and heated captain's chair seats are also available for the second row, a first among SUVs in this class.![Ventilated seats]()

Electronic parking brake with auto hold
The Electronic Parking Brake features Auto Hold, operated by a button on the center console behind the gear selector. The hold feature is especially useful when waiting on a steep incline. It will prevent the vehicle from rolling back as you wait to proceed.![Electronic parking brake with auto hold]()
Highlights
12.3-inch Dual Panoramic Displays
The available 12.3-inch Dual Panoramic Displays with standard navigation offer over 24-inches of touchscreen for entertainment, convenience, and more.
Outwardly calm inwardly serene
Advanced engineered helps keep the ride smooth and the driver confident. Four-wheel independent suspension, with multiple shock-reduction dampers and vertical rear shock absorbers, help isolate the quite cabin from bumps and vibrations. An exceptionally rigid body, paired with agile, responsive steering, helps make the Telluride nimble to maneuver. And as problems pop up out in the real world, the ADAS and stability control processors help eliminate them in real time.

Wireless smartphone charging
The charging pad at the front of the center console allows you to charge a compatible mobile phone wirelessly. An audible alert lets you know if you've left the phone behind.![Wireless smartphone charging]()

Driver talk mode / Quiet mode
The audio system's in-car Driver Talk intercom lets the driver speak with back-seat passengers without the need to shout or turn around. To facilitate naps or discussions in back rows, Quiet Mode switches the audio system from full-interior sound to a reduced-volume, front-seat only mode.![Driver talk mode / Quiet mode]()

Easy-access rear seating
Telluride makes it easy to get in and out of the third row of seats. Access is particularly manageable thanks to reclining, secondrow captain's chair seats (shown) that fold and slide forward at the push of a button. In fact, both rear seat rows fold flat, and even recline, together or split, at the touch of a button. There are also ISOFIX anchors for up to two child seats.![Easy-access rear seating]()
