2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

[skysecond]

I guess I missed something, how are you guys already ordering a 23 and know what the prices are before you can build on the website?

Some dealerships already have the pricing guide and posted here. And some folks here have placed orders with pricing disclosed. You can leverage these information to estimate your potential build price.

Look back on this thread. There’s multiple posts that have options and prices listed.

Found a dealer that’s wants a 15k markup to order one. Has anyone ordered at MSRP?

Up here in Minnesota both Lupient brookdale Kia, Luther Kia, St Cloud Kia will not charge over MSRP if you put in a custom order

Wow I'm not sure what to say about how confusing Kia has made all the trim/color combos for the 23s. It went from a fairly straight forward ordering process to all over the place. I know they needed to refresh the car but some of the choices are very questionable.

Having seen video of the headlights, they look odd with the long vertical oval silver chambers that house the drls and headlights. On top of that when the headlights are on along with the drls it looks flat out ugly (where before with the orange drls and headlights on it looks very nice). Not sure who stepped back and said "nailed it" regarding the headlights at Kia. The grey color around the grill looks very cheap also as apposed to the chrome/NF trim.

The front bumper is a bit weird but I can see they're trying to make it look more beefy/off road and also create a solution for the open gaps in the 22s where debris can hit the radiator. I do like the dash but the seat stitching looks way worse than the current SX-P. The rear bumper is nice as the upper area is painted compared to the 22s which is plastic and looks bit cheap. The back up lights completely look like an after thought and are really out of place...really bad design there. Also I hate when manufacturers put lights in the bumper. Easily doubles the cost of repair on a simple fender bender due to the lights being integrated.

Overall I'm not sure what to think. Kia had tons of hype from the last few years and could've taken the car to a new level with a better thought process about upgrades. Seems they kind of did a half ass job rushing to get it refreshed to capitalize on the current frenzy. Overall some positives but they had a chance to make it the most sought after car in North America and I believe it will still sell but not at the crazy rate the previous model did. My best guess is the next redesign in 2-3 years will bring back some of the old styling along with more tech upgrades.

Looking forward to seeing it in person, either way Telly's are the best SUV I've ever owned. Cheers!

All of these bad design choices were to make the vehicle compliant for non-US markets. This is now a global vehicle not a US, Canada and Middle East market vehicle.

Here's a reddit post with a lot of photos of A white X-Pro.

Looks great to me, I think I might black out some of the trim that looks more silver/grey. We're going with terracotta interior, I think it will be a combo that punches way above its price point.
Might even add the Telluride letters back to the front hood haha

I’m torn between a WG Telluride and a Steel Graphite Palisade. Both cars are great, I know, either will be a great choice. Every day I switch between the two.

Who wears the grey best?

Found a dealer that’s wants a 15k markup to order one. Has anyone ordered at MSRP?

I ordered at $1500 over MSRP, the dealer originally wanted $7k over. I told him then no deal and I started to leave. Of course, that opened the negotiations & we landed at $1500 over. The $10k, even the $7k markup is bull crap.

Wolf Gray easily in my opinion.

This looks so good to me. I hope the X-Line looks very similar.

$1500 would be reasonable. I got them down to $6500 over MSRP but they wouldn’t budge so I left. I was ordering the SXP X-line, they think they can sell these for 69k lol.

Lol is right. That’s absurd.

I ordered SXP X-Pro at MSRP, hope to have it by January. Arapahoe Kia in Denver, they'll pay for your flight out up to $400.
Might go with Gossett since they're in TN, I'm in GA, but i think they're estimating 6-8 months.
Only killing thing is Arapahoe Kia estimated the lowest interest rate at 4.5% for great credit..

Will there be any X line pretige be delivered in October or will it be November or so?

 

[jlarsonfnp]

I've searched and can't find the answer - any pictures of the blue interior? I'm placing my re-order this week and want to know what I'm getting into.

Interesting… looks like the dash is navy?

Any chance you can grab a pic of non SXP mahogany leather?

 

[KChervinskis]

is it extra for Glacier White?

What color interior?

What color interior did I order? If that’s what you are asking, I ordered black.

Thanks so much! I saw that on the dealer guide but didn't realize that was the combo I was curious about.
