Hello Telluride fans! New owner.

[Kas_Ser]

I'm a proud owner of a New 2023 Telluride SX X-line - Glacial White Pearl on Terracotta interior. Never thought I would ever like a KIA or even consider it for purchase. I have a growing family and this Midsize SUV kept topping the list of all of our needs and wants in a family SUV. My wife considered all of the competitors, including the Tesla Model Y and fell in love with the Telluride instead, especially the Terracotta interior on white exterior! This is my very first EVER forum post of any kind, I apologize if some rule was broken. Going to be spending hours looking through y'alls submissions. Just saying hello!

Great choice of vehicle and spec! What vehicle did she come from?

Kia has a way of surprising a lot of people these days; sad really that they have a reputation that makes them a surprise when they make a great vehicle. Let's hope they keep it up!

Welcome! I’m new here too as of the past month. I just got my SX Xline last week. The terracotta interior is I was between the white or wolf gray. Ultimately chose the gray and I love it! Finding out all the fun tech things this car does is a joy. Going to work is actually something I’ve been enjoying with my new toy!

Hope you and your wife love it just as much as I do! Have fun!

The trade-in was our very economic 2017 Prius Prime PHEV (moved away from high gas price CA to the South 2 years ago)… but we’ve had BMW, Jaguar, Volvo; by far she loves the KIA Telluride more than the others. KIA has completely rebranding itself as a sought after brand. The warranty, tech, quality, ride, reliability and style is not what KIA was known for in the past and it feels surreal.

Agreed! Let’s hope KIA will continue to make great cars, and they continue to keep it value priced.

Right!? I find errands to do as an excuse to take it out. The Wolf Gray is a great color, couldn’t find one in my area with the terracotta interior and that interior was what sold my wife .

Welcome to the forum! Great choice on your terracotta interior. I have mine in terracotta as well. I initially ordered Glacial White, but later found out Dark Moss would have an excellent contrast with terracotta. My SX X-line is scheduled to deliver next month. Can't wait any longer....

Almost same as you - never in a million years would I ever have considered a Kia.. lol. Wow - I'm blown away. Just picked mine up this past Saturday and have over 500 miles on it already. This is the best vehicle I've ever owned. Love, love, love the Terracotta! Three months ago my wife got a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. OMG - that's a POS compared to my Telluride. The Jeep has so many bugs, they should be embarrassed. The Kia seems so refined and it's been flawless. Like others have posted - I've been finding excuses to go places to drive the car!!! Enjoy and welcome to the forum!!!

We traded-in our 2017 Prius Prime PHEV, also a surprisingly well built and reliable car. 3rd child coming soon and needed to get a 3 row suv. Thank you for the welcome!

Love the Dark Moss! I see you've been waiting for a while. You're going to love the updated interior in the terracotta for sure, so worth the wait! SX X-line seems to be the best trim level for the money. Wishing you a great pickup next month.

The new Jeep GCL was on our list too... but the jeep issues scared me away. I actually mentioned it to my KIA Service guy since he has a wrangler, and he told me his brand new Jeep came pre-rusted ... Yeah, the Telluride is refined beyond its price point. Thank you for the warm welcome.
