• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Makes no sense since the badges are the same...why would Southwest Kia post that?

I don't think it's real and I'm not worrying with it either.

Stephen and Jason, I just want to Thank you guy's for all that y'all do for this Forum. Y'all are always on top of everything, keep yourself's informed on everything that is
happening with the Telly's, and helping answer all the questions everyone on here has. You Guys are a Blessing to the rest of us.
So I just felt compelled to say "Thank Y'all So Very Much" for all that you do for us.

I think we can both say it’s mutual.. we appreciate you all as well. Glad we all found each other as cheesy as that sounds haha.

Rims are questionable IMHO. Really hoping this is not official.
 
They look more fitting on a lifted 4x4 truck or jeep. Remind me of the Rockstar wheels

The Grill is questionable too - why change that so drastically...Fingers crossed that this is not it.
 

same rims as rumor from Jan
I would be leery of the images. The "official" release states that an exclusive Kia Logo will be on both the front and rear of the black edition. The pic's you provided do not show an exclusive logo. That's my first sign that someone is taking liberties to drum up hype.
But then again, it could be accurate. If so, no Black edition for me. Can't get past the grill or rims.
 
It's interesting, because it's essentially the same as the vehicle image online at MastriaKia.com that was posted here on June 5 by @Nine Mile Skid in the Black Edition thread. Same grill. I wouldn't put it past SW Kia to use an unofficial image to drum up hype, but they are one of the largest dealers in the country, so maybe they did get an image ahead of time. I think the look could grow on me... but not the biggest fan of the wheels.

@StormDB tracked down the image in a subsequent post in same thread on June 8.

It does look like a different KIA emblem to me. The letters are just darker to match the theme of the package, which would make it unique to the package. But again, no idea if this is the actual vehicle or just a photoshop.
 
2021 all black edition

The more I look at these pictures (the quality of it) and compare it to the 2021 KIA Mohave Black Edition - I think these pictures are legit. If someone where going to photo shop this - it seems they would have copied more of the theme from KIA's home market Mohave. The angles and detail in the close shot of the grill look real and not photo shopped. That said - I am still not a fan of the wheels. The grill could grow on me. I'm just glad it looks different from the SXP since it will also be available on the EX. The last thing we would have wanted would be for this to be available on the EX and look just like a blacked out SXP.
 
@MarcinTexas

That reality is starting to set in with me too - I think this could be it...Doesn't look photoshopped...and technically the emblem is a shade darker - which to Kia could mean "unique".
