2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

Does anyone have pictures of the prestige grey napa leather?
______________________________
 
I posted this in the other thread. We are trying to figure out why the X-Line’s trim appears lighter than the X-Pro’s.
I don’t think they are different. In general an object’s color will look different against different backgrounds and colors. As well lighting can affect color.

I paused the video a few times and depending on angle and lighting the trim looked exactly the same or different.

I wonder if the 2023 grill would fit a 20-22 car? I’m guessing no because of the bumper redesign, but I like the actual grill.
 
A few questions.
Does anyone on the forum have a front skid plate on their telluride they could share a picture of?

Anyone seen the mahogany NON prestige interior up close? Curious what the leather is like. I ordered SX dark moss mahogany interior.

Thanks!
 
Agree. The rear was definitely darker and matched the x-pro
I'm seeing the same, the rear of the cars matched. What's odd is I looked throughout the video multiple times at the front bumpers of the XLine and the EX. They both matched, not the Pro. Was definitely the lighter silver on the XLine and not the darker grey at every angle.

That’s what my eyes saw as well. I guess the lighting was just weird.

That’s my understanding too and i hope any accessories are minimum. The rear entertainment addition is the worst one. I could live with the cargo net or wheel locks

So, when exactly will we find out what additions there might be? Not until the dealer gets the sticker? I have more than one dealer offering to 'order' a Telluride for me (some with no deposit even). I don't want to be greedy, but I also don't want to go to the end of the list if the vehicle that ends up getting assigned to me has a bunch of extra add ons.
I just looked on failcat and my dealer has a Telluride picked up on 10/7 that has my exact configuration (SX, X-Line, WG, Ter). Unfortunately, it also has carpeted mats and rear seat entertainment system. Now I don't know for sure this is mine, but I've had an order in since April, so it's probable. The mats aren't a big deal, but the entertainment system is a deal breaker as we're empty nesters. Does anybody know if I definitely go to the end of the list if I decline this vehicle?

Here’s a shot of the skid plate.

Here’s a shot of the EX mahogany. The regular SX mahogany would be the same. The pattern for the regular leather seats doesn’t seem to have changed much (or at all) for 2023.

The early pictures of the Pro and Line had different trim pieces. The Pro looked lighter than the Line.

Why not ask your dealer? I would think it'd be assigned to your order if they plan on trying to sell you that vehicle.

For the first 30 days Kia just makes what they make based on parts they have on hand. After that they start filling custom orders.

I will ask the dealer on Monday if that vehicle is assigned to me. Neither the mats or entertainment system is on the order sheet. The dealer did text me a copy of that.

Who is your dealer?

Bummer! Mine just the floor mats added so i can deal .. but would have rather had the $230 towards all weather mats instead. I hope your dealer can work with you. I think it’s solely up to them if you lose your spot if you pass
