2022 sighting

[scr26]

Wow. Yeah. Not good. Feel especially happy to have a ’21 NF. Especially as here in Mass. they’re not allowed to activate UVOlink for a ’22 either.

White logo on the wheel cap? Meh. But silver lug-nuts? Ugg. They were black on Nightfall previously. They really cheaped out. Thanks for the pictures.

Here's a video of the 2022 (forgive me if it's shown up before)

The new logo is large in front and back.

With them getting rid of the oval does anyone know if it will be hard to replace the emblems?

 

[Slack Attack]

Wow it actually looks really terrible. What a shame. Still going to stick with my 22’ nightfall order but will now have to figure out a way to black out those emblems in gloss black. Really dislike how they decided to make that huge flat indentation in the rear hatch for the new emblem too. Yikes Kia.

I'd like to see a photo of a 2022 non-Nightfall dark-colored Telluride. Might anyone out there have access to one that he/she can share?

This one here is a dark colored non-Nightfall 2022 EX Premium. Slap on some fog lights and pretend the wheels are black, and you are basically looking at a regular SX as well.

Mine’s in the process of being built but I’m really curios to see a 2022 Glacial White Pearl with the Nightfall to see if the rear badge is “whited out.”

Hey, @bruesjoh04 , thanks for this! I've ordered a GG SX-P NFE and am wondering if I should change the color, or remove NF, or simply receive the Telluride as ordered and see if the new badging grows on me!!??? I was hoping, and somewhat expecting, the new badging to be darked-out on the NF package. Or, simply change and order the Everlasting Silver NFE.
Thoughts?
I figure it ultimately will not be an issue seeing that what I am more focused on is the interior experience.
More thoughts!?

Personally I'd keep it as is. Partly not to cause any confusion with the order. The Nightfall front scoop, rear diffuser, blacked out air scoops, window trim and different wheels are all still significant. See if the badging grows on you, and if not, black it out. That's my plan.

Is it me or did the Telluride font on the back change as well- I’m not loving this.
yes it can be changed and will be a fun project (for those that will get mad at others expressing their opinions of not liking the new badging); however, it does suck to have to re-do everything just to get it back to some of the things that were liked on the 21’

It's, of course, a lovely vehicle. The new badging is still throwing me for a bit of a loop. It seems as bit...er...loud? Shush little Telly. Tone it down a bit.

It's not just you, they shrunk and lowered the "TELLURIDE" to make room for the bigger logo. It's a step back in asthetics imo.

I was hoping it was just the picture angle

The font hasn’t changed, but it appears that the scale has (at least it appears so from some of these initial pictures).

Yeah, I hear ya @LiquidUte . That option did cross my mind. It may be the unexpectedness of it all that has me a bit hyper focused on it.

In the images you shared - to me - the old style on the dark telly looks like design you'd see on an audi. The placement and spacing and scale is good. The new design on the white one looks like what you'd see on a... well... a Kia.

Totally agree. But I think it will grow on a lot of people though. Especially if you vinyl wrap the back KIA logo and possibly completely delete the front emblem, or wrap the front one too. There will def be after market black new style KIA emblems all over in a couple months too. The Pictures all make it look like the new emblems sticks out a bit and you can pull/pop it off, or wrap it on the vehicle and cut the excess wrap off with with a crafting knife. Personally, I think the new logo looks way better on the steering wheel now as well and would look even better wrapped in gloss black. Only thing I’m pissed about is having to buy black wheel lugs lol (so weird they did a silver). The rest will look good wrapped or just completely deleted IMO. I bet you could even get creative and put a personal emblem (like the transformers emblems?) on the back instead of the KIA on the flat part

It does appear that this new rebranded KIA logo was not considered for the existing Telluride. Im betting it'll make more sense on the refresh Telluride model and be more aesthetically pleasing to us experts. Lol
