The KIA Telluride in Wolf Gray

[clam]

That's right. It's September 2020.

Deep inside Kia's West Point, Georgia factory, workers are feverishly preparing the paint shop for something new. Something monumental. It's officially the month in which Kia will manufacture the first Wolf Gray Tellurides. Those of us first in queue will be seeing our new babies in the next 60 days!

Remember, Wolf Gray is the most selective and restrictive 2021 paint color. It is assuredly not for everyone.

Designed as the 2021 model year hero color for the much-lauded Telluride, Wolf Gray is only available with black interior and the EX Nightfall or SX Nightfall packages. No LX, no S, no gray, butterscotch, or espresso brown interiors. If you buy an SX, you can upgrade to Prestige, but that's IT if you want to possess the power and renown of Wolf Gray.

First showing up in limited runs for the K5 and other premium Kia models, Wolf Gray is one of the last remaining automotive enigmas.

Definitely not white, but not quite silver, it pounces on the roads like a direwolf longing to conquer and devour open terrain. Paired with the Nightfall styling, the Wolf Gray Telluride looks to destroy and systematically dismantle any obstacle in its path.

Luxury will be ours. Luxury wrapped in a fierce and beautiful veneer.

The 2021 Telluride in Wolf Gray. Staring now.

Did I miss the link to a Kia press release?

 

[dmaleck]

I ordered WG mid-July, supposed a few people already had theirs accepted into KFOS. I ordered from largest dealer in NC and they said there were not slots open for WG in KFOS for Aug. I don't know who to believe!

 

[Familyman20]

Haha. I thought I was reading a Christmas story book for a second there! Really surprised KIA hasn't put out a picture of this damn thing already.

I reserved a dealers only WG EX they are slotted to get before 2021 and I cannot be more excited. Was given a 11/24 ETA but hoping it somehow gets pushed up closer to end of Oct/beginning of Nov, but we all know it will probably end up being December lol OH WELL merry christmas to me!

I had no idea they weren't on the road yet. About a month ago one passed me going in the other direction on the freeway and I thought it was WG. It must have been Everlasting Silver and wishful thinking on my part.

 

[clam]

My dealer told me that the order was accepted into KFOS in the August window and delivery ETA of November. No VIN or anything yet, of course.

It is definitely interesting that there are no pictures of it yet, but it should be a beauty! Wolf Gray is the only color I think that almost requires Nightfall to look decent (because it needs the dark contrast.)

Very interestingly, Kia of Ventura has a "configurator" that lets you choose Wolf Gray as the exterior color (the last swatch on the right side), but it shows the Telluride in Wolf Gray without the Nightfall package, which is an impossible configuration.

It is still fascinating to see what this would look like though!

Test drove the SX there last year and I was hooked. Asked about ordering because I wanted a P. "Orders were closed by the factory" I was told. I told them to check with their manager as I knew orders had opened back up. They acknowledged that they could order but all Tellys had a 7K markup. I waved "bye" and never went back again.

I have seen wolf gray in person on a K5 and it doesn’t look like this. It’s much lighter.

Is Wolf anything close to this Nardo gray?

 

[bucho]

Is Wolf anything close to this Nardo gray?

I'd say yes - very close to nardo

 

[EskimoSpy]

I just saw a K5 in Wolf Gray yesterday, here's some video I shot of it.

Absolutely beautiful EskimoSpy, thanks for shooting it!

 

[ottoSXP]

Is Wolf anything close to this Nardo gray?

unlikely this is Audi Nardo on display *at an M-B dealer (though i know folks have painted their new rides of all makes in the shade).
this looks more like the vintage M-B color re-issued as a designo Manufaktur, Arabian.

Here is another professional photo of the K5 in Wolf Gray... here it looks slightly darker here than in some other shots.

For those of you looking for a Wolf Gray SX, I am in contact with Chad of Mike Kelly Kia in Butler PA. He stated that they have an incoming WG for October that was avail just 5mins ago. They are asking for $1000 dep and are selling at MSRP and require you to do a credit app. You also have to pick it up onsite, no shipping. You can thank me later if you are lucky enough to get it.
