In Kia’s dreams, the Telluride is a hybrid, V6-powered vehicle rated at 400 hp also capable of achieving a fuel economy of 7.8L/100 km. According to Kia, however, there are no plans to bring the Telluride to production

I don't think it looks bad at all. And I welcome anything in this segment if it means more competition. IMO I don't think a Yukon should start at $52k. This might make GM and Ford think twice before charging large sums for their full size SUVs.

so when these show up, do all of these amazing tech features actually work, or is it like going to a furniture store and everything is fake?

as long as the stuff functions, i am all for it... when it is just them saying what "could" be in it, in a non-functioning framework... then, i have to say even i don't like that kind of vaporware...

as for the design... i don't know. doesn't seem all that impressive... also doesn't seem as big as it should be. nice, but nothing groundbreaking
