The front looks very American in a Cadillac kind of way.
The rear....looks like an overweight Picanto..so I guess also American just in a different way.
I swear they took the lights across "as is".

Kia's 'possible' (Telluride-based) double-cab bakkie rendered
Well, that didn’t take long, did it? A high-ranking Kia executive has only just conceded it is "possible" the Korean firm could one day build a lifestyle bakkie and someone has already rendered one.
A digital artist (under the username “St00k”) over at KiaTellurideForums has shared his/her take on what a Kia-badged bakkie could look like.
The artist used the boxy (unibody) eight-seater Telluride SUV – which was revealed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January 2019 – as a base, adding a load bed, an integrated roll bar and plenty of black plastic cladding.
The imagined bakkie furthermore gains 18-inch alloys (replacing the 20-inch items used on the three-row SUV) wrapped in chunky rubber and framed by flared fenders. Integrated side-steps, roof rails and (interestingly) hidden rear door handles have also been included.

Very strange choice of names. Tellurium is a chemical (sits between antimony and iodine).
A telluride is a mineral that contains tellurium.
wtf kia..

Of All Truck-Looking SUVs The Kia Telluride Feels The Least Truckish - Jalopnik
I didn’t have much time with the 2020 Kia Telluride, but a few laps around town was enough to notice that it feels very low and long from the driver’s seat, much more so than any other truck-looking SUV I’ve been in lately. It’s the most disparate vehicle on a scale of “looks like a truck, feels...

10 Cool Cars We Want in SA
Here are 10 cars we would love to see on South African roads!
The South African car market is extremely small in comparison to other markets such as the United States and China, for example, and local market conditions dictate that there are a wide range of vehicles that are sadly not on sale in South Africa for various reasons.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t dream and we, therefore, pose the question to you. If you could choose 10 cars that you would want to see in South Africa, what would they be?
Here are our suggestions… Share yours with us!
Kia Telluride
Honda Ridgeline
Volvo V60
BMW Alpina B5 Touring
Renault Zoe
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
Cupra Formentor
Skoda Yeti
Ford F-150 Raptor

Kia Vastly Underestimated Demand For The Telluride SUV
Kia’s initial production plans for its new Kia Telluride three-row SUV were 60,000 units built per year. With actual production capacity now peaking at 100,000 units and still not enough cars to meet demand, Telluride buyers are going to have to wait.
My colleague Tom McParland, who is also an automotive purchasing consultant, has been reporting on the surprising void of deals on the new Kia Telluride and its sibling the Hyundai Pallisade for months. Both strangely remained immune to the steep deals other automakers are offering in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact.

In true South African style it will come here with an "amazing" 2.0l naturally aspirated engine that you have to rev the daylights out of.
Why so many good cars some into ZA without their turbo-charged models continues to baffle me...

'No chance' of right-hand-drive Kia Telluride happening, says exec
The head of Kia Motors in Australia says there is “no chance” of the Telluride being produced in right-hand drive.
During a wide-ranging interview with CarExpert.com.au, Kia Motors Australia chief operating officer Damien Meredith was asked whether there was “any chance” of the Telluride being offered Down Under.
His response? An emphatic “no”, followed by the statement “they’re not going to build it in right-hand drive”.
The news is particularly interesting considering the Hyundai Palisade, which shares its platform with the Telluride, has been confirmed for a launch in that country in 2021.
