2022 Pictures?

Attached are photos of our 2020 telluride parked next to our 2022. Both are SX trim.
Looks like the lettering is smaller on the 22. That or they decreased the interval between letters. Can you confirm @ear12 ?

I can confirm the lettering is smaller on the 2022’s. The SX V6 is also missing on the 22’s tailgate.

This was the first I had seen of a 21/22 side by side. Thanks for confirming.

Where have you been the last few weeks? 😊

From Kia's 2022 changelog:
  • Revised Telluride emblem on rear liftgate with smaller font and wider spacing
I hadn’t seen that Kia media release yet - thanks for the link! Of all the stuff I read none of it mention the change in font and spacing, only the badge (which to be honest the volume at which people are harping on the badge has dampened any other change announcements haha).

Impressive how a relatively minor change on paper can have such a negative impact on the overall feel. The new one just looks messed up in the back. The new telluride lettering isn’t great, but the HUGE new Kia badge in the back is horrible. Before it look handsome and now it just looks cheap and chintzy.
Has anyone deleted the rear badge? If so, please show a picture!

Totally agree. I'm disappointed. I was bumped from getting a 2021 to a 2022

Does anyone have a 2022 stinger? I’m wondering if the front Kia logo from the stinger could be substituted for the rear badge on the telluride. Looks smaller. Wonder if it’s flat and stick on with 3m?
 
The Carnival rear one may work! Looks smaller if it’s a stick on.

It’s bad. Not the end of the world but it looked much better before. Such a tacky look with the branding.
Kind of agree here. Its a little too much tacky in your face type of look than I prefer.

I think Kia is very proud of their new logo and their new cars so they are getting a little bit cocky.

Does look nice on wolf gray though!
 
Very sharp, love the contrast of dark color and white trim.

Agree. I don’t mind the front but probably going to remove the rear badge altogether when mine comes in.

It looks like I paid for a nightfall edition and your looks almost the same. You have black wheels and so do I. Is the window trim black or chrome, I can’t tell. Only thing that looks different is the grill surround and lettering being chrome Instead of black. I really think yours should have had a grill that has some brushed metal accent to it so as to tone down the Kia emblem a bit. I get the whole rebranding thing but dang I don’t like the emblem being front and center. It’s like a huge zit is sitting there and it needs to be popped. Are you going to b,ack that emblem out or leave it as is? Nice ride though.
 
Ended up selling the Dark Moss Telluride. If resale values weren’t as good we wouldn’t have ha. The white 2020 telluride is my parents.
This whole story speaks volumes to the telluride and it’s following
