Time marches on, however, and its due for its regularly scheduled mid-cycle redesign for 2023, which appears to be more substantial than most.

Kia has released two teaser images of the three-row SUV ahead of its debut at the upcoming New York International Auto Show.

A shadowy image of its exterior suggest it will receive mild updates that include new lighting, but a rendering of the interior reveals a full overhaul of the dashboard.

In place of the traditional layout in the current model, which has an instrument cluster with analogue gauges and a separate touchscreen infotainment system in the center of the dashboard, is what appears to be a single housing one or more widescreen displays similar to what's featured in several of Kia's other latest models.
