The KIA Telluride in Black Copper

[NJsox]

Has anyone seen a Black Copper Telluride? It would be nice to compare it to the Ebony Black and see what makes it coppery.

I have one — it’s spectacular — when the sun shines you can see the specks of red throughout the car — there is nothing like it — and with the dune brown interior — it is incredible

Looking pretty black there

State, what is the difference between a clear bra and ceramic coat? How do you locate someone who puts on ceramic coat? Do you use paint shops like Maaco?

Any detail shop can do ceramic. I had mine done and it stays cleaner than before I had it done should last 5 years and cost anywhere between 800 to 1200 if they are using good products. The shine is incredible

Clear Bra or mostly now referred to as PPF (Paint Protection Film) is just that. It is a clear wrap that in many cases has self healing capabilities. You won't get the small rock chips to damage the paint. Big names that those with high end cars use are Xpel and Suntek. Ceramic would go over the top of the PPF. Few of the big names in Ceramic are CeramicPro or OptiCoat.

My car just has Ceramic as the dealer did it before I got mine (long story but someone had ordered my car but their lease wasn't up, etc...). I've noticed a few small rock chips already in 1000 miles. But I bought a chip pen for the Copper through a Kia dealership online (<$8 online).

Expect on any/all of these to have some level of paint correction prior to PPF or Ceramic even on a new car. Obviously one that has been used more will likely require more correction.

Okay, thanks for explaining the difference. Very helpful.

Agreed. I looked at the Everlasting silver at the dealership yesterday. It looks nothing like the web-site pictures. It's more like a blueish gray. Very nice color. I'd really like to see the black copper before making my final purchase decision. Currently considering Moss Green with Dune Brown interior or Everlasting Silver with Black interior. I love the Dune Brown but not sure I can pull the trigger on the Moss Green. The Black Copper is also available with Dune Brown but no way I'm ordering something that I have not seen yet.

I have had mine in black copper with dune interior for 1 week and I love it.

Sunny memorial day in indy. As I was cleaning it up I was really appreciating the copper part of black copper. Don't see it so much with it sitting in the garage all the time.

Love my black copper too

The color must just not be photographic. All I see in these photos is black. Obviously you love the color in person.

I'm not in the market yet, so Kia still has time to gets it's act together and do the SX in a true red/dark red color. I would also love to see it in a burnt orange / true copper. I really like that color on the SUVs I see it on.

Go see one in person. You will notice the copper flake in the finish

After calling 24 dealerships, I was finally able to pick up my Black Copper SX w/ Prestige. I swore never to buy a black car ever again, yet here we are.

Where did you find it? State/dealer location?
