2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

[stinju]

I wonder if there's a supply issue with the dark fascias? According to Kia's website the X-Line and X-Pro seem like they're definitely supposed to have darker front and rear facias, not only from the pictures but the exterior specs say it too.

I'm going to be pissed if my Wolf Gray comes in with that silver crap.

Not sure if you have seen this already, but here’s a wolf gray x-pro.

That was my initial thought, supply issue. This wouldn't be the first time Kia completely botching things like this and won't say a got damn word about it or address it head on and pretends like it's all normal.

I've seen an X-Pro right next to a non X-Pro/X-Line in person, and the X's fascia's arent black, but they are definitely darker.

But definitely lighter than what Kia is showing on their website, right?

That looks sharp. If the one I ordered wasn't for my wife but my car, I would have gone with WG. The Terracotta looks really good and reassures my decision. A comment on reddit summed it up perfectly: "its the perfect brown leather color. Butterscotch was too yellow. Dune Brown was too mud brown. This looks like the perfect warm brown." Of course all this is subjective.

Tough to say on the build site depictions (since they arent really photos). Most accurate (to me of course) would be photos/videos of the Midnight Lake Blue X-Pro at kia.com/us/en/telluride

With these guys/clowns preferring the Palisade over the Telluride, I know I made the right choice

I have watched TheStraightPipes for a while and, during this particular review, when they said they preferred the chrome grille on that Palisade over the lower-trim's black grilles I knew that our ideas of good-looking have parted ways. Looks are subjective, all it comes down to. No harm no foul. That being said, the Telluride looks the best of all current 3-row SUVs and anyone who wants to argue... you're wrong

Looking at the front and rear fascia, I am SO glad I made the cut for a 22 GG SXPN this summer. I may regret it when the nightfall starts peeling, but I just can't get over how cheap the light gray fascia looks.

Just picked up my X-Pro SX-P Dark Moss and terracotta this afternoon, it’s awesome! I know people are hating on the lower bumper but it looks better in person. The interior is a huge improvement. We had both a 21 Telly and a 22 Sorento, and this is a great step forward. The screens are really nice upgrade. I am bummed about the no hitch situation but will wait a couple months and get the oem one when it is available for order. One thing I noticed is that from the Sorento, is that it had a lock and close on the trunk button and Telly doesn’t which is weird. I have only driven it back from the dealer so can’t comment on ride quality difference from the 20” to 18” rim difference from the other Kia’s yet but will update after more time.

Gorgeous! Everlasting Silver was our choice when we were looking at 22s. Switched to Dawning Red when we ordered a 23--hope I love the color in oerson!

Man I'm jealous. I originally wanted ELS but we couldn't get the grey interior. You still can't but you can get it with the grey/navy interior which is even better. ELS was the one color other than white we could both agree on. We ended up with white. Like it don't love it, but overall love the car.
