Just how bad is the lag/delay on the touchscreen?

[tk_]

Now that I have my Telluride ordered, I'm just combing through videos, etc.of the features and one consistent gripe seems to be that the touchscreen has a delay when using it.

How bad is that? Is it noticeable? Does it make it unusable?

 

[anotherlostmonkey]

I don't think its bad at all. I find it reasonably responsive and quick. However the UI/update decisions KIA has made are a completely different story.

 

[Javi]

I consider the display very responsive, no lag ,no complaints.

 

[Tellthemride]

Adequate speed, no noticeable lag swiping through menus and pages or tapping an icon. The only noticeable lag is pressing the rear climate hard button and waiting for the climate screen to appear.

So to avoid that I just reach back and press one of the fan buttons to turn on rear climate, set what I want back there on the front climate controls and press sync.

if you compared it to a phone, maybe but that’s nitpicking. Compared to any other car I’ve been in, it’s the same if not better.

Appreciate the replies, folks. Certainly assuaged my concerns.

 

[HairyMilkshakes]

It's manageable but nowhere close to Audi levels. Drove a rental Q7 recently and was very surprised by how fast the display was reacting.

Have had my SX telluride since September. After owning a ford you can definitely tell the difference between the screen lag. When I’m using Waze it is sometimes a 3-5 second delay. Kia may have stepped up their game here lately but it’s little things like this that make Kia a lower tier car.

With the Telluride, EV6, Stinger, and Sorento (both ICE and hybrid) widely acclaimed as at or near the top of their respective categories, I don't think you can make a persuasive case that Kia of 2022 is a "lower tier car" than Ford of 2022. And if you wanted to make that argument, you'd certainly have to point to more substantial alleged disadvantages than infotainment screen lag. (For one thing, all Fords don't even use the same system. Some have Sync 4, but some current Fords are still stuck with Sync 3.)

Screen lag

With the Telluride, EV6, Stinger, and Sorento (both ICE and hybrid) widely acclaimed as at or near the top of their respective categories, I don't think you can make a persuasive case that Kia of 2022 is a "lower tier car" than Ford of 2022.

The 2022 telluride has about the same level of technology as my 2017 ford. Screen lag is just the tip, and also just a huge pet peeve for me. Don’t get me wrong it is a nice car but for a technical guy like me it lacks a lot compared to my ford especially for a 55k car. Hell my 2017 ford had a 115 v charger and only the higher end models of the telluride have it. Not only does the touch screen lag but it is a 3-5 second delay when trying to use the rear ac controls,Ac doesn’t blow really cold air until you start driving, Unless you are in line of sight the remote start won’t work and it doesn’t stay on very long,no auto climate control when it does remote start, and if you use remote start you cant even open your trunk with the key fob. Not to mention the fact that the HUD won’t display anything related to apple CarPlay or Waze which for me is disappointing.

 

[tpgh]

Do any mfg’s have CarPlay - Waze, maps, google maps integrated into the HUD?

Focusing on pet peeves is not an objective or fair way of evaluating vehicles.

No Ford has blind spot monitoring cameras in 2022 -- not even a $70k Mach-E -- let alone in 2017.

The Ford Explorer, the Telluride's direct competitor, can't be had with ventilated second-row seats at any price.

No one is claiming that the Telluride, or any Kia, is superior in every respect. But you're scoring a game in which you're only counting the runs scored by one team.

It's certainly not the norm. That's one of the reasons built-in navigation systems are still desirable.

Say what you want but if a 3-5 screen lag doesn’t get under your skin then we are just different people lol.

 

[tpgh]

I’d take it in to the dealer, that’s not typical. That would be bad even for the sensus in my Volvo

 

[tpgh]

It's certainly not the norm. That's one of the reasons built-in navigation systems are still desirable.

In order to not turn your head or even glance down, you’d rather take the long way, go on a road that’s closed, get stuck in traffic, get a ticket, or even go to the wrong address.

Makes sense to me.

Get a ticket? Why would I expect any navigation system to protect me from that? I'm responsible for my own driving.

What's with the irrational rants in this thread? "Everything sucks! Etc., etc." The forum must've gotten up on the wrong side of the bed.

Screen lag has not been 3-5 seconds for Waze in my experience for Apple Carplay (unless you are using a wireless adapter), nor for regular Kia UVO user interface on the head unit.

Name three other 55k cars that offer more features than the SXP? What features specifically? SXP can be had for $50k if you have the patience to seek out dealers that sell/order MSRP.

Hell my 2017 ford had a 115 v charger and only the higher end models of the telluride have it.

What other 3-row mid size offers the 115v outlet standard in all trims?

Not only does the touch screen lag but it is a 3-5 second delay when trying to use the rear ac controls,

I agree with you on the rear climate switch in the front. Can be avoided if you use the sync button and front climate controls when rear climate is already on. Can quickly reach to the back rear panel and then use the sync button if rear climate is off.

Ac doesn’t blow really cold air until you start driving,

That is not normal behavior, my SXP blows cold and stays cold regardless of being stationary or at stop lights.

Unless you are in line of sight the remote start won’t work and it doesn’t stay on very long,no auto climate control when it does remote start, and if you use remote start you cant even open your trunk with the key fob.

Limited range of the stock RF style remotes is common across all makes. This is why one would opt for the UVO remote start cell service, paid subscription, where you be able to start from anywhere there is cell service.

You got a point, remote start runtime is limited to 10 minutes, but you could always remote start a second time. 20 min should have your car warm/cooled to the desired temp in non-extreme weather conditions. In my local area 10 min is plenty to get the car warmed/cooled, and we get winter temps around 10 deg F to 90 deg F summers.

Auto climate would work with the fob remote start if you last had auto climate running when shutting off the car. If you use UVO remote start, you can set the auto climate to a desired temp in the app prior to starting.

For the trunk, I can’t remember if that was a limitation with factory remote start. With aftermarket remote start for my 2020 SXP, this is not an issue, just unlock during remote start and trunk opens normally with the fob.

Not to mention the fact that the HUD won’t display anything related to apple CarPlay or Waze which for me is disappointing.

I understand this is a “wish list” feature some people would also like to have, but unless it is available in direct competition, it is not fair to say Kia is lacking compared to other cars.

So the screen lag only seems to be bad when I’m using Waze here lately. Might be a couple second delay but over all it’s not too too bad but today my screen lag was worse than usually for some reason but as far as features it definitely isn’t lacking. And I use a wired apple CarPlay. I got the SXP and it has all the bells and whistles which are all nice I mainly wanted the 360 camera, which I actually don’t use that much but I do use it more than the turn signal cameras. As far as technology I was mainly talking about the touch screen and couple other minor things. The Ford I had was actually an F150 Lariat so comparing it to an suv might be a little unfair, as well as comparing Kia to ford, but from a technical standpoint the 2017 lariat is on par with this 2022 highest package Telluride minus all the cameras 360 view etc. I also liked the dashboard set up a little more mainly the gauges. With all the space in the Kia you would think they would have put a compass somewhere on there though.
I thought it was weird that a big selling point was the 115 v charger when I had that in a 2017 ford is all. The ford actually had one more than my Kia does. So I guess it just makes me feel like Kia is a little behind in that sort of thing.

I have never had a car with a HUD so the whole Waze/Apple CarPlay integration was just wishful thinking I guess. Although my father does have a 2021 EX and on his dashboard, not HUD, it says when you change songs on apple CarPlay unlike my 2022 SXP. Not sure what’s that’s about.

I have honestly just been reaching back behind me to turn the rear AC on. Obviously faster but I still wouldn’t mind being able to do it in 2 quick clicks rather than taking 5 seconds after I press the rear control button.

I’m not sure what the deal is as far as the air not blowing really cold until I start driving. I even let it sit there after remote start once and it definitely got colder as I started to drive.

As far as the auto climate on my ford it detected the temp and adjusted the ac or heat to high but just using the remote start on the key fod. I do have the UVO app but I work in a lot of areas with little to no service so I would like to use the fod but again compared to my ford the range is significantly worse. I could start my ford, with factory remote start, from 50 yards away with walls between me but it seems the Kia won’t do it unless you are pretty close or within line of sight. Ford also ran for about 30 mins or so which is nice bc where I live it’s been about 101 and usually forget to do it again after it’s been only 10 mins. And ya you’re right about the auto climate goes to the last setting but unfortunately I don’t get out of my car with the AC on full blast which is what’s needed to cool it down after sitting in the Texas sun for a couple hours lol. Just little small inconvenience like this are what I have experienced nothing crazy or major I’m just a picky person sometimes.

It’s not irrational, those things are all true as factory navigation is inherently disadvantaged compared to online map systems. As for getting tix, you’re right but it’s also a major reason Waze is so popular.
