Where are you seeing these Tellys

Saw 23 wolf gray XLine with black interior and 23 white XPro with Butterscotch interior. Agree I don’t like the lower silver bumper. The headlights take awhile to get used. Hopefully it will grow on me. I do like the butterscotch color. The pattern threading they do on the XLine and XPro is pretty cool. But I don’t think I’ll be able to order the butterscotch interior since I want bench seating. The ones I saw were all captain.

Thank you for sharing the pics! Also interested in hearing where these were taken.

Since I have a white '22 on order, that will 99.9% be a '23, this is very helpful. I do like the looks! Even if they don't offer a true Nightfall-like package anymore, I think the gunmetal looks good and one could always get that wrapped black.

As to Butterscotch interior, I believe that is gone for '23 and replace with "Terracotta" which should be somewhat similar.

Butterscotch is a yellowish tan. Terracotta is a slightly reddish light brown. In nonmarketing color language, the former could be described as a version of ocher, while the latter is more like sienna. Both of them are slightly lighter shades than Kia's Dune Brown, and significantly lighter than Kia's Espresso Brown.

I’m waiting to see what Mahogany looks like.

Thank for posting those pics! The silver finish on the front and rear bumpers is definitely a bit odd. I actually think it works on the wolf gray and to some degree on the white. Overall, I think the design is a bit more interesting and fun than the outgoing designs but will definitely miss those orange DRLs. I'm planning to upgrade to a 23' SX X-line in wolf gray. I'll probably just get those front and rear bumper trim pieces wrapped in black immediately and call it a day.

Can someone please tell me where the pictures of the 2023 Tellurides come from. Are they at a Dealer?

Mahogany should be the darker of the new earth-tone options. But I think the new Terracotta-Mahogany spectrum will cover less range than the outgoing Butterscotch-Dune-Espresso spectrum.

I need to see mahogany vs terracotta. Since I saw the XLine and XPro versions, I assume mahogany because mahogany is the upgraded interior color, not standard terracotta interior.

According to the OP in this thread, **UNOFFICIAL** 2023 Model Lines, Colors and Options, it's the opposite. Terracotta goes with the X-Line and X-Pro trims, while Mahogany is for the regular EX and SX trims. The X- trims also get the Sage Green interior option. (All of these are on top of the standard black and gray options, of course.)

Interesting...thank you! I'm really starting to like it

So I can still get bench seating in the XLine (nightfall package) EX AWD or is it only captains chairs? So I can get terracotta. In 22, I think you can only get nightfall with captains chairs not bench seating.

Does anyone have a picture of mahogany?

It definitely doesnt look as bad as early discussions thought it may. I just got my 22, but do really like the 23 a lot. Cannot wait for more photos and press releases to come out.

This is XLine and XPro which have gunmetal lower bumper.

If you look at this picture 2023 Kia Telluride Discussion it is ugly with silver lower bumper

I'll probably switch from '22 SX AWD Nightfall Butterscotch to '23 X-LINE SX AWD Terracotta. We'll see...

I personally think the picutre of that 2023 Wolf Gray looks amazing. Loving how the gunmetal compliments the Wolf gray. I think it will be even more impressive in person.

I think it looks good, too. Not as good as the previous front bumper, but not as bad as I expected.

Im in the same boat. Have a Dark Moss Butterscotch nightfall on order. Hopfully the Xline trim is all black and not much more.

Do you guys know if the stitching I saw on the XLine terracotta is going to be exclusive to the XLine? Will the non XLine have a different stitching and leather?
