While the Kia Boys still cause trouble worldwide, it's only about cars that didn't get the software update nowadays, so it's finally time to give the South Korean automaker another chance at mesmerizing its customers.
After all, at least in America, there are plenty of novelties to showcase – including hybrids and electrics, plus the newly refreshed or all-new EV9, Sorento, Carnival MPV, and the K5 and K4 sedans. Each of them has something enticing – the EV9 is a large, family-oriented three-row crossover SUV starting from $55k, the Sorento and Carnival share a new common design, and the K5 plus K4 reveal the passenger car sector is not giving anything up without a good fight.
Even more Kia models are coming, though – the 2025 Kia Tasman all-new pickup truck was caught in prototype form while undergoing testing in the United States, signaling that it could be getting close to production specification. As far as we can tell, given the teaser campaign, this new product will probably appear sometime later this year, but it might start its global rollout in 2025.
Kia has plenty of novelties to keep its customers occupied this year, so it's also important to look into the future toward the 2025 or 2026 model years. Naturally, the rumor mill and the imaginative realm of digital car content creators are doing their due diligence in this department. For example, Vince Burlapp (aka vburlapp on social media or burlappcar.com) is a prolific virtual artist who loves to dream of all the latest models across the wide-ranging automotive realm, and now he wants to discuss the potential introduction of a second-generation Kia Telluride.
Most recently, the pixel master has been deeply preoccupied with the American brands Cadillac and Lincoln, but now he wants to get back in the Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride saddle. First, he notices how scarce the information about the latter really is – whereas the former has been spied on countless times and then rendered a gazillion times. As such, he's refocusing his CGI attention on the more popular Kia Telluride, which, due to its best-selling status and the fresh presence of the EV9 – its zero emissions equivalent – could be kept on the backburner at least until the Palisade is introduced later this year.
The author believes that the lack of buzz around the rumor mill for the Kia Telluride means it could also launch sometime next year as a 2025 or even 2026 model year, but at least he's sure that just like the Hyundai Palisade, it will have an all-new design inside and out. He's giving us his CGI thoughts on the matter, of course, and also some powertrain rumors – a smaller-than-3.8-liter V6 engine with turbo this time around, as well as a hybrid option to help it attract an eco-audience. What do you think?
