2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

[Username Unavailable]

Sorry, but i can’t make it through 41 pages of a year old thread. Is there cliff notes somewhere on 2023 specs/info? Is anything fact yet or still all speculation at this point other than what’s been released at the shows like full “wraparound“ screen and xpro package? I know the dealer I ordered through has no info from Kia on options or pricing yet.

Your friend likely meant that MY23 vehicles would start to be produced around end of September. I'll be a while past that they'd actually be on lots (and even longer to wait for an order).

Thanks... It makes sense... Any tips on how to do factory order for Kia... dealers in CT are deceptive.. I am looking to order a 2023 EX AWD Bench .. Dont mind paying little over MSRP... but dont wanna be taken for a ride either...

R U willing to wait up to a year to get the vehicle?? That's what I am being told. Also, front end of 2023 Telly is Fugly.

3 or 4 months is okie... a year is too much... i am not that picky ... happy with EX AWD bench ... may be add interior lights later on... i feel like lot of dealers are banking on FOMO and demand from market... so they are gaming for sure... looked at 2023 Palisade SEL ... tempted though

I don't think 3 or 4 months will be happening. I am trying to find Palisade SEL, too. I want second-row bench seat. I don't really care that the seats are not real leather as long as seats are ventilated. No luck finding vehicle so far. I am in Texas.

I suspect the only ways you'd be at 3-4 months wait would be: (a) have placed an order 6+ months ago or (b) pay over sticker. If you only want 3-4 months then a Telluride at MSRP is likely not in the cards. Much more likely to find a Palisade within that timeframe.

I totally agree with yDD5. Well said.

I didn’t think other ppl like bench seating. Thought I was the only one? Go EX. Hope they will at least offer XTrim with bench seating.

There will be no bench seats in the X trim line.

For my needs, second row bench seat is way more practical.

yeah i am prepared to pay over MSRP... there is no way to escape that in NorthEast... its pretty much like a syndicate...

I check the Failcat website every day. There have been no new VINs released since 9/2/2022. I can only hope that means they are retooling this weekend! Fingers crossed!!!

I don't no what is going on in failcat but what you see is not all of the Vin's. In one of the threads in this forum a member received his vin # 5XYP5DHC6NG320317 from Lucas in Muncie In. That is not in Failcat.

My dealer said there may be one more 2022 allotment this weekend.

No bench seat option on X Trim, period is what I have read and heard. Around here, no Tellys to be had at any price unless person had their name in the hat long ago.

Just got an email from NowCar. No allotments for this month and Kia has not released any upcoming allotment dates for the quarter so far. Place me order with NowCar back in July cause the Miami is trying to charge a mark up even though he said he wouldn’t after placing an order with them Nov 2021. Even still, the order I place in Miami has even been entered.

Yeaaaa that’s what’s up!

No information really out right now on the new CX9, except that it’ll be called CX90 and have plug in and hybrid options.

First Look: 2023 Mazda CX-60 and CX-90

While we didn't actually get to drive this new RWD-based PHEV, Mazda did invite us to test the similar but smaller CX-60

Thanks for posting! Doesn't really say anything we didn't already know other than perhaps the color/trim combos.

I wonder if that digital rear view mirror is worth it to jump from SX to SX-P.

Yeah I bet it will be an option on the other models since this is the homelink mirror now.

Looks like the X-lines will also get this mirror.
