Hi Everyone,

My name is Meagan and I stumbled on this site trying to learn more about the Telluride from actual owners. I’m looking to buy a new car in the next couple months and am trying to decide on model, Nightfall or not, color.

I would love to hear any recommendations you have.

Thanks!
Meagan
 
Welcome!
It all comes to preference... but...Everlasting Silver is the best color out there 😎.

if you have the budget...I’d go all in with the SX-P (Prestige).

Lots of info here for you to read. Cheers!

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. What might the Telluride be replacing for you? I'm glad you found us. :)

I have a 2014 Jeep Compass with lots of miles. It took me cross country from Florida to California and then from California to Pennsylvania. Was way too small when I bought it.

@Megk:

Welcome to the Telluride Forum!

We have plenty of recommendations but ultimately you'll have to own and drive the car, so tell us what you like.

Do you want AWD or FWD?

What trim level are you looking at?

Do you want the LED headlights w/ the iconic Amber Daytime Running Lights?

You'll find plenty of opinions here, lots of agreement, disagreement, debate, and discussion and pretty much any topic Telluride. If you don't want to go down a rabbit hole yet, leave the Great Floor Mat Debate of 2020/2021 until you've settled on Trim level, AWD vs FWD, exterior color and interior color first.

Want my recommendation?

If you end up going SX-Prestige or SX-P/T:

Dune Brown Napa Leather w/ Dark gray Premium Cloth Microfiber Headliner on the interior. See the pictures for yourself and if it's not for you, then that's okay too.


As you can tell I went with Dark Moss with the Dune Brown and it looks amazing, but Dune Brown also looks great with other exterior colors:

Everlasting Silver Dune Brown Interior Feedback
Gravity Gray with Dune Brown
Black Copper w/ Dune Brown
Glacial White Pearl w/ Dune Brown
Ebony Black w/ Dune Brown

Pretty much all the exterior colors that allow for the exclusive Dune Brown option look amazing with it.

Personally, I'd skip the Nightfall Edition because the aluminum and gray break-up the exterior color and look amazing, the way the designer Tom Kearns intended.

If you're going to do NFE and you like the saturated/monochromatic look, why not go Ebony Black exterior with NFE for a completely blacked-out look?

Anyway, the Telly is an amazing vehicle and you'll be happy when you finally get yours. Ask us anything :)

Thank you so much for this!

I really need AWD living in Pennsylvania. This winter was rough with snow. I definitely want LED lights- visibility is huge. I’m leaning towards the SX in Everlasting Silver because of all the safety elements.

Is the Dune brown as caramel looking at the photos you see online? It has almost an orange look to it from what I’m finding.

Thanks again for your awesome response- I really appreciate it!

Welcome! Not an official owner yet, but sat in the Dune Brown before ordering and didn’t get an orange feel from it at all. Def. did with Toyota’s Glazed Caramel. To me, it’s more of a dark British Tan. It looks great with the black contrasting interior pieces and Kia’s exterior color options. Keep us posted on your choices; it’s a nice diversion while I wait for arrival.

Thank you! It’s so hard to tell from the pictures what the interiors will look like.

I’m probably going to have to order mine as well. How long of a wait is it?

There is a Butterscotch color but Dune Brown is more of a rich medium brown.

Not super dark, not super light.

@superk1977 just got an Everlasting Silver with the Dune Brown Nappa Leather seats/interior. Click this link and scroll down to the bottom of the page to see his recent photos and how great it contrasts with the exterior color:


LEDs are amazing and I'm glad I went SX P/T (Prestige w/ factory-installed Tow hitch receiver)
 
Ordered my new Telluride last Friday- SX-P in Everlasting Silver and Dune Brown. Can’t wait for it to arrive!
Beautiful combination!
