2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

[hhaless]

Hi all. I ordered my EX X-Line a couple weeks back and am playing the waiting game. I have a question about Driver Talk (Passenger Talk) - sorry if this has already been covered!

I’ve been watching a bunch of review videos of the trim I got to hold me over until I have mine, but I’ve noticed whenever the reviewers go through the options on the main infotainment screen on any trim lower than SX there is no option for Driver Talk or Passenger Talk anywhere. It’s definitely listed as a feature on my order paperwork and on the Kia website. What gives? Anyone in a lower trim manage to find it yet?

Congrats! Post up some pics of that interior.

Sorry for the delay. Here are a few pics of the Sage interior, including the wood paneling and door. We love having it after having black seats in our last one (and in our other car). I was worried the color would be too light and I'd be paranoid about getting it dirty, but it feels just dark enough to not have to stress too much about it. And we have little kids, so we have come to terms with the fact that everything will take a beating anyway.

Where did folks hear about the increase in production? I read for heard that a few times in various places. Was looking for a source though to confirm. Just curious. Hoping it's all going to happen.

I can't seem to post links without it being flagged as spam but a quick google shows results from JD Power, Motor Biscuit, and Barron's, which say increased to 120k/year. Also say "75,120 sold in the U.S. in 2020, and 93,705 in 2021".

Nice color. I like that it comes with a black headliner, too!

Has Dune Brown made a triumphant return? It appears the answer is no. Failcat today is showing a bunch of 2023 EX models with Dune Brown for Int Color. However, these all appear to actually have Mahogany on the window sticker. False alarm.

Dune brown is not offered anymore on the '23s. Kinda replaced by Mahogany. Butterscotch replaced by Terracotta.

RIP Dune Brown, the best "brown" offered in a Kia Telluride.

Looks sharp! Thanks for sharing

Can anyone provide information on the status of the tow package and whether that is keeping orders from being up by Kia? I have an SX-P on order with a tow package...it was converted from MY22 to MY23. I originally placed my order on 2/5. I don't see anything with a tow package in failcat yet. Does someone know if they are doing something like the X-Line and X-Line Pro where they are installing part of the tow package, but with no hitch or lighting? Or is my order just sitting and the tow package is preventing it from getting it picked up? If so, can i change my order to drop the tow package? Just looking for the best way to move forward. I can live without the tow package if it can be dropped from my order.

Looks like I just got an answer to my question. In failcat today, I see 100+ SX-Ps listed with the Tow package. I don't see mine yet, but now I'm more hopeful it will come soon.

Please give a Vin Number. I do not see Tow Packages on any Tellurides.

Can someone please tell me why on a X-pro and x-line why the air vents on front of wheels are fake. They are not fake on all of the other tellurides.

 

[mroberts]

There are a ton of them in failcat from 11/8. Just filter under options to "TOW". But interesting...I just looked at the window stickers (it was down yesterday) and it shows "self-leveling rear suspension" as an option and not tow package.

Unless It says Tow Package $595.00 on STICKER it does have TOW.

Is it weird that I received an ETA from the dealership for 11/26 but have not seen a model match my order on failcat yet?

No! They know before failcat it could take a week of it to hit failcat.
