    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

SX X-Line without Prestige showing 51,010 no X-Pro without prestige option showing.

*** Correction on Tow Package on the Trim Breakdown shows to be Standard on several trims
Dealer called and said the same. He said to wait
 
Okay y'all my dealer closed 20 minutes ago so they are kicking me out.. Will answer everyone first thing in the morning for those that ask questions after this message
Thank you Stephen! Are dealers now able to make allocation requests / custom builds or is the system not accepting orders yet? Thank you!

Do we have any pictures of the Mahogany interior yet?

It seems like everything we have seen so far has been terracotta....

Only thing we are missing at this point.

So sad. Regardless of how much you folks are getting it for over there. It will be more than 80k for me here :sleep:
 
EX FWD Bench 43,120
EX FWD Captain Chairs 43,920
Thank you. If I need 8 seats with bench, is EX the only option? I have 3 kids and don’t wanna leave a little one alone in the third row.

Thank you community & @StephenCantrelle!! I so so so want to see the mahogany interior before ordering.

We’ve been waiting 296 days since we placed our order with St Cloud Kia.

@StephenCantrelle - could you please help on pricing a fee builds?
SX AWD non prestige (would be moss green and mahogany interior)
EX AWD?
 
I kind of don't want to be one of the first to get a 2023 just in case I hate how it looks in real life. Regardless, this is pretty exciting stuff!

As before, 8 passenger is only LX or regular EX.

Not sure if you realized this before, seeing that you wanted a bench but ordered a 7 passenger EX-P (per your signature)?
 
Seems like Kia has incorporated about $4k of dealer markup into the base price. At these prices I might have to bow out which is a bummer.

That’s correct. My original EX-P order will have captain chairs. I will be updating my order to have bench seat. But if I keep the bench, I will lose many other goodies in the higher trims. Sigh….

Ridiculous but I understand Kia (though a $4k increase for a refresh is pretty greedy). They have the most popular SUV in its segment. If the increase and arguably worse design drives (no pun intended) people towards a Palisade, they still win.

I’m there with you.. I’m at least at $42k for awd S trim and sun roof.. without any paint charges or accessories .
The Palisade has the upper hand with the 2023 now with pricing.. the SEL trim is $42k awd and you get power lift gate.. you can’t get into AWD with power lift gate on telluride below $45k. You can get the blacked out XRT for $44k, which is likely a few grand less that the ex xline..

As long as you were content with the EX-P, you're going to come out ahead with the 2023... it gets you the 20" wheels and LED headlights without being forced to get 7 seats.

Of course, you'll still be missing out on the goodies from the SX, but you were already planning on that with your original order.
 
I called my sales person last night and he didn’t have any new information. I’m assuming he wasn’t working and may have it today when he goes in. Wondering when i should bother him again or if i should just wait it out.
