She is still in her cub years, as is Kion. While they are older, the most they appear to be when they last see each other is on the verge of being a teenager, as Kion is not near as big as Simba was in his teenage years. Now there could be an age difference between Kiara and Kion, but given that they don't age at all throughout Season 3, because if you go through the trailer, you notice at the Tree of Life, Kion and the Guard have not aged a day, it would be a very large stretch for Kiara to suddenly go from being equal to Kion's age to a massive age and growth spurt to being towering over him as an adult. And given this show is a midquel, which along with prequels, have histories of killing off big characters that don't appear in the rest of the work in which the midquel is set, I really would not be surprised if they did kill Kion off, or if he is forced to retire.
