2022 Pictures?

Yeah, that's weird that the badging for the model isn't on there anymore? Is this the way it's going to be? Ironic to me because usually I'd be one to take off most of the badging for a really clean look (I did on my Infiniti except for the logo) but now that they were going to be blacked out with nightfall I kind of miss them. 😅

I think the front looks really good with the new logo. The back doesn't look as good as before.

Seems like a good move to remove the badging. Looks much cleaner.

Palisade doesn’t have any model designations on it, either.

This way you have to flex your car spotting skills to figure out what you’re looking at… you can’t cheat by peeking at the back. 😊
 
Thanks to all for the pics. Definitely curious to see the Nightfall Edition.

From those pics does the rear Kia logo not look like it could be removed? I have a 22 ordered but I’m not a fan of the new logos
 
The new KIA logo just plain doesn't fit the style of the car. If anything, its just too big.

I agree. Not a fan. I hope we can remove them

I noticed that too. Makes me wonder how they raised the price by $100, when they're providing less. Now we're down to different black wheels (at least on SX), and a few darker trim pieces, which theoretically don't cost any more than the polished chrome ones, when you mass produce them. The grill is less noticeably different too.

Don't forget the black lug nuts too. I haven't seen a NF in public yet with these elusive things.
It's hard to believe last year this time KIA was stating that the then Black Edition (NF) was going to be a low production limited trim. Feel like it's almost 50/50 now

I bought a set of black lugs already....just waiting for the Telluride....lol
 
Respectfully, I can understand some folks not feeling the new logo. I’m not a huge fan of the one on the back, I’m full speed ahead on my order for my SXP. I can deal with the logo as I’m a fan of everything else. Can’t wait for mine to show up and get an ETA.

I'm personally not about to jump off a bridge, or anything. But I have reservations about how the light colored logo will look with Dark Moss NF. It is definitely not what I had in mind, and I wish my dealer would have reached out and gave me an opportunity to change to non-NF. I prefer SX wheels anyway.

But on the other hand, I like the style of the new logo, and with a half-day project and a can of plasti-dip, I think it'll be all good. And I agree, the logo is a small part of the overall experience, it won't ruin the car - it's just an odd choice for NF specifically.
 
No, just a reflection. I like the new logo but it seems a tad off to me without the oval border . Glad I got a 21!
Agree. Seems Kia just slapped on the new logo without changing the oval border to something new.

No disagreement at all - it seems like a really big design miss. The new logos blacked out would have been the right call and I’m sure kia corporate is hearing about it. I’ll probably be looking into blacking out the logos as well but I like the wheels and all the other blacked out elements. I’m not gonna lose sleep over the logos. It just isn’t a deal breaker for me.
 
Talk about ruining the Nightfall. People bought for the blacked out look. Whoever decided to slap on a gigantic chrome Kia badge needs to be fired. Whoever approved the final design also needs to be fired. Seems the better solution is to save by foregoing Nightfall and finding an aftermarket solution with the savings.
