NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan returns to the SEMA show with four exhilarating concepts that stretch the possibilities and capabilities of the brand's vehicles, inspiring enthusiasts to imagine ways Nissan vehicles can be a canvas for supporting their passions.1 "Nissan vehicles excite right out of the showroom, and they often inspire owners to maximize their life and hobbies at every turn," said Kim Less, vice president, Aftersales, at Nissan. "Bringing project vehicles to SEMA helps ignite the creative spark among fans and be close to the pulse of what enthusiasts, builders and customers want out of their Nissan." For this year's SEMA show, Nissan's special builds are based on the effortlessly capable Armada full-size SUV, the rugged and right-sized Frontier pickup, the adrenaline-pumping Z NISMO sports car and the legendary Patrol off-roader. These vehicles will be on display at the Nissan booth, #21521, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Nov. 4-7.

Custom wrap reveals all-new Telluride’s Opposites United form language while hiding in plain sight Developed by Kia Design Center America (KDCA), wrap is inspired by Telluride design sketches Colors and intersecting lines play important role in camouflage design Real world off-road trek is testament to all-new Telluride’s capabilities October 29, 2025, Irvine, CA – With the global debut of the upcoming all-new 2027 Kia Telluride only weeks away, Kia America today is revealing more of the brand’s flagship SUV. Cleverly disguised in a unique full-body wrap, the custom pre-production model is seen being put through a grueling off-road trek, illustrating the SUV’s capabilities while coyly hiding its production sheet metal, which will be unveiled November 20 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The new images and video of the camouflage Telluride follow the dramatic studio-based teaser images that were released October 22. “Designing a wrap for Telluride is far different than designing the vehicle beneath the vinyl,” said Tom Kearns, Vice President and Senior Chief Designer, KDCA. “We looked at the many different patterns used by carmakers to obscure the shape of vehicles in development and decided to approach the project from a different angle. We determined that hiding the all-new Telluride in plain sight could be done in a way that is both eye-catching and thought-provoking.” Leaning into the hundreds of sketches that precluded the final form, the wrap’s design uses intersecting outlines of the vehicle from different angles to obscure the profile, curves and angles beneath it. Close inspection reveals the many approaches the team examined before finally landing on what will be shown (uncamouflaged) at the Los Angeles Auto show in November. “This wrap also ties the beginning and end of the design process together, which is Opposites United in itself,” Kearns continued. The Opposites United design philosophy takes inspiration from the contrasts found in …

Opposites United design philosophy blends the contrasts found in nature and humanity and applies them to Kia’s iconic SUV Teaser images hint at sharp angles, Star Map LED lighting and a strong presence October 22, 2025, Irvine, CA – Suggestive, thought-provoking, captivating, iconic, Kia reveals the first teaser images of the all-new 2027 Telluride SUV ahead of its global debut at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show. On November 20, Kia America will pull the covers off one of the most anticipated new vehicles of the year and unveil the second generation of one of the brand’s most successful vehicles in company history. Firmly rooted in Kia’s Opposites United form language that embraces the contrasts between nature and humanity, the teaser images hint at a square shouldered, upright silhouette framed by thin vertical LEDs bathed in red and amber. Inspired by its namesake Colorado town, aggressively defined triangular creases in the fenders resemble the chiseled facets of a diamond and capture the essence of the towering Rocky Mountains. A broad hood with clean, straight lines establishes a powerful stance. At the rear, the beltline rises subtly to intersect the D-pillar which rakes forward, suggesting movement even when the vehicle is sitting still. Black inserts at the top of the pillar make the flat roofline appear to float atop the windows. Broad fender surfaces give the vehicle a planted, authoritative presence while fluid body contours lend an elegant shape to the side profile. Full details of the all-new 2027 Kia Telluride will be announced during the Kia press conference at the Los Angeles Auto Show, which is scheduled for November 20 at 9:00 am Pacific time.
