Canadian 2021 Telluride

[GreekWiz]

Sorry for the cross post, but I deemed this important enough to post in here for us Canadians.

Just had a look at ours. Ordered a Dark Moss with grey interior, sxl and prestige pkg on April 28th. Canadian version so was very pleased to see command start on key fob.

Waiting for @Oldguy to confirm when it's in his hands and location.

Update: Confirmed

You bet, I said to the salesman, what’s this, used fob to lock car and little button fired her up. He said also has Evo for longer distances.
Brandon, MB, They told my wife that this was the first 2021 in Canada. I find that hard to believe.

Great ! Any idea who absorbed the COST ? Since you paid the original agreed price? and Is 1.99% a new offer? on my booking from Apr it was 2.49% for 60 months term

I do not know. I do not care. Until the very last moment I thought that there would be changes, but when I got the sales bill I was delighted. 120 days was not specified there, I called and asked, but they gave 45 days, which is also not bad. 1.99 (2.99 -1) is 84 months, in April it was also so.

For my Canadian Friends.... anyone discuss, been offered, or bought extended warranty from dealer?

Nothing was mentioned to me (maybe cause so expensive), but I am a little worried about those electronics, and only 3 year warranty.,

$3200 for 8yr/200 000km for the 5-star plan

Gravity Grey

Gravity Grey

Thanks for confirming. So i am on the same color and trim - booked Apr 4th. Based on your case. I estimate it could take me anywhere between 2-3 weeks more of a wait. Still dont have a VIN yet

Not sure which extended warranty will cover electronics as the 10 years Kia Protect is forthe mechanical. One thing to keep is mind is that when the sales people hard sell the extended warranty to you, saying you'll get your money back when you end up not using it, you're only getting credit that you can use at Kia dealers. If you want real cash back it will be like 1/3 of what you paid.

Same with Total Loss Protection that you're only getting credit with Kia.

Be sure to request for the fine print of the coverage before paying.

Ouch....

it will be more profitable to change the car at the end of the warranty.

Woohoo... awesome news.

I wonder if the back arm rest was changed.

Kia Canada still has no idea on the 7-pin, I have to get Kia to get aftermarket one as they only have the 4-pin listed.

I don't do that as I posted before, not everyone wants car payments all their lives. in fact my plan is to retire at 60, and I am on schedule to do that (just turned 50), house paid off since I was 42.

I plan on keeping it 15 years since I put about 7,000-8,000 kms a year on it, 10 years at least provided it's not a lemon.

That's because its not fully loaded SXL

Picking up my 2021 SXL with Nappa leather Telluride today at my KIA dealer today in OTTAWA I had the KIA dealer install Fast satin black rims, the Telluride sidestep and Tux Mats last week as they were doing the PDI. I think they look at lot better then the stock rims that I will be power coating next week in Satin black and using for winter snow tires. Next I will is getting all the Chrome wrapped in black and ordering a new KIA black front grill making my own Nightfall edition with Nappa leather not available on the factory order.

Hi there. When did you order your telluride? Furthermore, can you please let us know how much were the rims and the side steps with installation. I see one picture showing the price but I’m not sure if this includes all of the above mentioned work in it?

Hi
The sidestep & slit seat rear cargo mat were ordered from KIA parts and the Fast wheel satin black rims I ordered myself online from Canada wheels delivered from Montreal in 3 days then I had the KIA dealer install them. Make sure you also order the black nuts and Max TPMS for air pressure monitoring system along with the FAST rims. They are ODM made to fit original specs and I used the factory supplied tires. Happy with the results Cheers
