Things you would change on Telluride SX

[sportsguy]

1. Full pano roof rather than 2 seperate sunroofs

2. All digital instrument cluster

3. Maps in digital instrument cluster

 

[Tim-in-CA]

Music details in IC or hud

Unlock by touching the handle vs having to press the button on the handle, as well as walk away locking

Alexa integration into uvo in car

 

[Keena]

The way some of the features/packages are broken down. The biggest for me was the availability of the captains chairs only at certain levels. Why is this not available on all levels?

 

[ATL3630]

Less gloss black hard surfaces!

I actually like the two sunroofs vs a pano sunroof.

Here are a few things I have started for a letter that I will send to corporate. Maybe they will take some of it into consideration as they are relatively small changes with a few exceptions:

1. Auto Dimming side mirrors
2. Exterior approach lights
3. Sensor behind door handle
4. Accent lighting around cup holders
5. All digital guages
6. Nav screen - remove the plastic a s make the bezel black but behind the glass
7. Would love to see the A/C buttons match the steering wheel buttons
8. Frameless rearview mirror
9. Headrest adjust forward and aft
10. Vertical movement of lumbar support like in the Grand Cherokee's

4. - and in the 3rd row
7. - move the 2nd row controls to the floor console, not the ceiling.
11. - 7pin connector and tow controls
12. - better color options, more traditional

Double dual exhaust ...............one side duals ? Looks unbalanced !.................and Black 20s for Canada !!!

Agreed. Symmetry in the rear would look great.

I would like:
1. Auto Dimming side mirrors
2. Exterior approach lights and walk away locking
3. Sensor behind door handle
4. All digital gauges
5. Frame less rear view mirror with rear camera connected
6. Vertical movement of lumbar support like in the Grand Cherokee's
7. Double dual exhaust
8. Memory seating profile with information cluster customization (HUD, default information etc) for different drivers
9. #8 setting should chained to remote/fob, as whichever remote sensed/unlocked it would preset those setting

The price

 

[John]

The price

Sadly, the price probably won't get any cheaper if Kia adds the changes suggested in this forum. For me one of the draws to the Telluride is that starting in the low $30,000.00 range and maxing out in the mid $40,000.00 range it is affordable to a large swath of people that normally would not be able to afford this size crossover with all the tech that it offers. I am anxious to see where the price of the Palisade ends up. It should be a good gauge since it is very close to the Telluride with a few additional upgrades like power folding seats for the second and third row seats.

 

[392DCGC]

Pretty much agree with everything here. They missed some features I was expecting. Lack of dimming exterior mirrors, lack of door handle touch proximity unlock, the sunroof is small for such a large vehicle, and the gauges look like they belong in a 2000s vehicle - some of my main complaints. Would have liked real wood accents and maybe additional leather (dash, doors panels... or steering wheel cover at a minimum) in my wife's SX Prestige. Seats cushions could be a little softer too. But still, I'm happy with the vehicle.

Double dual would be over the top. It's a V6 Kia lol. Dual exhaust with nicely styled tips would be perfect.

We have it on the Stingers

 

[392DCGC]

We have it on the StingersView attachment 633

The Stinger is a performance oriented car. The Telluride isn't.

 

[westcoastTelly]

The Stinger is a performance oriented car. The Telluride isn't.

its balanced and symetrical , nothing to do with "performance " , dont undersell the Telly , similar to the Stinger, it will be compared to the Lux segent , Kia want to over deliver and be a great value . Taking styling cues from aspirational brands keeps this vehicle refreshing ..............................

 

[Kamauxx]

The Stinger is a performance oriented car. The Telluride isn't.

It's on the Optimas too.

... and Cadenzas, K900s, Soul, and... Hold my beer.

Tall guys like me don’t get to see the very top of the HUD during HDA mode unless I lower the seat way down. HUD pan adjustment is set to the lowest angle too. Need to increase the height of the reflector. Also, perhaps a focus adjust setting. Characters just a hair blurry.

I agree with you on both counts and I think these would be zero cost improvements.

 

[Tim-in-CA]

An ability to display the back up view while in forward gear. I like to keep the rear of the car as close to the garage door as possible (inches) but front proximity sensors go off too soon. Birds eye view isn’t enough detail to get that precise. They have two front views and squeezed L/R view but no back only. I have to shift into reverse if I want to see that camera.
