2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

[downeynucmed]

Ugh...I just found out my Telluride won't be here on it's original ETA of 10/30/2022 and got pushed back to 11/13/2022. I'm so sad I have to wait even longer!

 

[downeynucmed]

Darcar Kia in MD.

I'm so jealous!

Does anyone know if the serial number on your order could help see your place in line and or predict ETA?

Not great lighting by my new 2023 and my wife’s 2021.

I pick mine up friday but checked it out today because I was so worried I wouldnt like it. Gotta say, it ALL looks so much better in person. This is an Everlasting Silver SX X line. Much better than these pictures show I promise. In love!

Congrats! I really think with the absence of a true "Nightfall" that Everlasting Silver, Wolf Gray and Jungle Green still look really good with the X-Line trim. We requested order of a Wolf Gray SX-P X-Line a few weeks ago. Still haven't even heard back with the order acceptance yet. Sigh. Although I'm not sure how much of that is the order wait vs how awful our local dealer can be.

How's the ride quality on the 18's & all terrain tires compared to the 20's with lower profile tires on the wife's car?

Notice any differences, in ride, quality, handling, road feel, etc??

To early to tell. Coming from an SX-P Sorento that I traded in that also had 20s it feels smoother. Definitely going to take time to get used to the HUD and digital rear view mirror.

Is it just me or can you really tell the difference in ride height?

 

[Jreask]

It’s 10 mm.

It is about the same height, maybe an inch higher in the 23. It looks taller with the raised rails.

Picked up my ’23 SX X-Line last week. The front and rear fascia (surrounding the upper/lower grilles and between bumper reverse lights, respectively) are definitely quite lighter than those as viewed on the new Kia builder, almost as light as the front KIA emblem. IMO not as distracting in real life as were the initial marketing pics and such, even with my mostly darker exterior colors. The trim directly surrounding the rear bumper reverse lights is also a piano black similar to the front grilles (and center console). To each their own.

Congrats on your new 2023! It looks stunning in Dark Moss for sure.

Can you comment on the new LED headlight performance at night? One of my favorite things about my '22 EX NF are the headlights. They are amazing at night and I can see really, really well. How do your new headlights compare to the other Telluride in your driveway?

Here she is! 2023 S AWD — chrome delete and wheels done by Wrap Kreations in Carrollton (highly recommend working with them). Bought from Huffines McKinney for MSRP + $999 for tint.

I need help, should I add black “Telluride” lettering on the back, front, or both?

Originally ordered in June, ended up canceling the order because someone backed out on this one last week.

Looks good! What happened to the “Telluride” lettering in the rear?

They said they couldn’t wrap them so they suggested I just buy new black ones.

If anyone has suggestions on making the OEM ones black then re-applying, I’d appreciate it.

Looks great been waiting for someone to post a wrap. Was this a gloss black or flat vinyl wrap and just the silver trim front rear and door accents were wrapped? Couldn't tell if the oem black plastic trim was wrapped all around too?

It’s a gloss vinyl wrap (not too glossy though). They did the front grill trim, lower bumper on front and back, window trim, Kia logos, lower door trim, and door handles.

How much did that cost you?
