    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I have an S on order and noticed the kia website had a heated steering wheel for this model. Can anyone confirm?

It doesn’t. The only way to get a heated steering wheel is to get an EX or SX with AWD.

Thats what I thought, KIA needs to get their stuff together on their examples
 
They probably thought they were clever photoshopping the auto climate controls but neglected to delete the heated steering button.

KIA is all sorts of lazy with their pictures... they have all black buttons on the steering wheel on the LX and S.

I was curious to see how that would look, but on the LX review video I found shows the buttons on the steering wheel are the same as the SX.

Do any Tellurides come with black buttons then? Or just bad photoshopping from another Kia model?

It’s really bad because in addition to the black buttons, it’s just a new logo grafted on an old steering wheel horn pad. The 2022s have a different shape to that part of the wheel.

I don't know but they need to get their stuff together. According to the pictures, all models have heated steering wheels and the LX and S have all black buttons.

I think more importantly they don't display the correct color for the bottom half of the dash for different interior colors. A button is a very small detail, half the dash is a much larger detail.

Edit: To be more specific, the grey leather interior (non Nappa). Pretty sure the bottom half of the dash is grey but it shows as black on Kia.com
