• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    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...

2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

Some interesting things I saw on the PDF

  1. LX, S, EX models only come with the 12.3 Navigation screen and have a smaller 4.x" LCD info screen. I'm guessing it still maintains the analog gauge cluster? Seems only the SX and above get the 12.3" LCD information cluster.
  2. The Navy/Gray combo only comes on SX-P and below. If you get X-line you can't choose that color
  3. SX-P oreo wheels don't cut it for me. I like the X-line all black/grey color but that means if I get the X-line, I can't get the grey/navy interior combo.
So I guess if I ordered a '23 it would have to be GWP SX-P with grey/navy interior and swap out the wheels down the line.
The other part of me wonders if the dash in the '23 could somehow be retrofitted into the '22. I highly doubt it. I was thinking if the LX,S, and EX have analog gauge cluster it might be doable but then there would be no area for the HUD on the '23 dash to accommodate the '22.

I posted what that low-end cluster looks like about 25 pages back in this thread.
 
Sales person who helped me with 22 EX, asked me to place order for 2023. He is going to contact me when system is ready to take the orders.

The 23 has thinner HVAC vents to accommodate the two displays (“continuous”) on the same horizon. I assume that ripples into behind dash modifications as well so a dash retrofit into a 22 seems like a PIA at best.

In Massachusetts, the Kia dealer Dan Obrien in Norwood, MA is marking up 2022 Telluride SX models by $12,000 and the other Telluride models by $6,000 - $8,000!!! Insanity!!! I tried attaching the link but keep getting error messages. Do a search for Tellurides on their website and you'll see the markups.
Went in there to look at the Telluride when it first came out, absolutely horrible vibe, there is no chance I’d buy from there, even if the deal was half decent!
 
What does the higher end cluster look like?
Look at every official interior shot of the 2023 that you’ve seen so far. Both on Kia’s website and media site.

A dealer i placed an order with called me today and said they’ll be sending me a link to rebuild my order for 23 soon. No news, but just looks like dealers are preparing for ordering to open up. He said he was calling his list to confirm everyone still was interested. Seems likely for October . Can’t come soon enough!


Does anyone know if there will be a captain chair option on EX? The sneak information didn’t provide an ex premium package and what that would entail.
 
963 VINS Added In The Past 24 Hours :cool:
 
For 2022s?
It says 2022 created 9/18 but there is probably a small lead time from actual manufacturing complete date to when it shows up on failcat.

As we slowly get closer to an eventual release date, we can confirm the Nav unit will continue to be Gen5. They've started to post a few documents to the owners portal: owners.kia.com/content/owners/en/manuals.html

I can’t understand why they wouldn’t add wireless CarPlay or Android Auto to this refreshed model. What a miss. Not going to stop me from getting the SX-P X-line but really???
