Nooooo. There’s gotta be an aftermarket to add those back on.

Always made me think of a praying mantis.

Only the top trim SX gets the amber DRLs.

Top trim was Amber, lower was white.

I know! I have them on my 2021. The new lights look boring…
Nothing screams “more off road capability” by upgrading to 20” wheels!

Well, what about:
its own grille design, bridge-type roof rails, body-color door handles
Jeep product folks must be absolutely shook at this news.

Selling Wrangler right now for a T E L L U R I D E.

Given the last Telluride I drove (with the 20") couldn’t even handle hitting potholes at a crawl without convulsing sharply, I’d shudder to think what it’d feel like off-roading. Those 20"s made the ride incredibly harsh on even the least minor of road imperfections.
@Adi
The “X-Pro” has 18” wheels and off-road tires. The “X-Line” is more for appearances. Either way, none is pretending it’s going to supplant the Wrangler or Bronco for off-road capability. Please be an adult here.
@Adi
I had to tow one of these out of a moderately muddy field where it had got stuck. It was pulling an RV.
I was shocked to find there wasn’t even a space to attach a threaded front bumper tow hook. Completely unrecoverable from the front (unless you want to risk your front struts, and you really don’t).
I ended up having to tow it backwards from the RV. I’ve got a Silverado 3500 z71 and the terrain was of no issue for me; I didn’t even have to put down any traction strips.
I was looking at this (and Palisade) for a family daily driver - but given I do a little camping in muddy areas - sadly it’s a hard pass from me. If I can’t even get easily towed from the front, it just seems like a pavement princess, which is sad. An integral threaded front socket for a hook has got to cost, what, $5 to include? That one design decision means they lost a sale. Such a shame.
@Amory
I’ve not had a control arm bend on me yet when used as a winching point, but yeah, it’s nowhere near ideal.
@Amory
Your post got me concerned about my Palisade, but it turns out the Palisade comes with threads for an included front hook. I wonder why the Telluride doesn’t.

X-Pro has 18" wheels with AT Tires. Though I agree, that’s not much of a change!
Unfortunately, all the Kia dealers in my region are crooks with markups and expensive addons like nitrogen tires, LoJack, etc. I won’t even consider this vehicle simply due to that.
Hyundai at least has a couple dealers that are more reasonable and only do MSRP + tint. Though what is unfortunate is that the more honest Hyundai dealers aren’t Genesis dealers, so to buy a Genesis you have to go to one of the shady Hyundai dealers that do ADM + $3000 protection packages.
These dealer laws in the US are ridiculous and off putting to people wanting to buy cars…
@Channing
They would sell that amount but don’t yet have the same production capacity. The presenter from Kia at the official unveil said they’re going to increase production another 20% to make 120k Tellurides/year. Still smaller than Toyota/Honda/Ford/etc., but still a big leap from where they’ve been, plus they’re all assembled in the US. It’s all great for Kia, imho!
