2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

[ELCapiTRAN]

Now this is the HUD off the EV6 but what are the chances that the new upgraded HUD in the 2023 Telluride gets the same treatment? I know the update was it's a bigger HUD to 10 inch but could it also include this update

I don't think it's far fetched at all to think it will use the same HUD. I'd actually be surprised if it was still the same as the 2022s and below. Also this is my one big complaint of having a digital gauge cluster. The contrast of how the digital display and say the lights on the physical buttons is night and day. I'm kind of old school or maybe I'm just used to OLED displays on phones and TVs that the digital gauge cluster looks bad. On your NAV screen it's acceptable because there usually isn't a lot of dead space like there is on the digital gauge cluster.

I’m so glad I got my order in soon enough to get the 22. Pick it up in 1 week. I much prefer the 22 exterior looks, the headlights are the cherry on top

I'm hoping they have a gradual switch over so I get the 2022 exterior and 2023 interior

This would be amazing but won't happen. If I could have the 2022 exterior and the 2023 interior, I'd sign on the dotted line right now. That being said, if I have to choose between the two, I'd go 2023. More future-proofing with the tech. Really my only gripe is the front bumper, so I'm eager to see what the other trims look like (hoping something similar to the current NF remains).

The new X-Pro is replacing NF. Kia has said as much.

X-Line is replacing NF, not X-Pro. 2 different trims.

That seems crazy. 75% of the Tellurides I see on the road have Nightfall. Why get rid of such a popular option??

Is the X-Line going to be blacked out?

My dealer just told me all Telluride orders in the system will be built as 22's and production of 23's will start in October.

Which is why I said "something similar" to the current NF. It might just not be called NF anymore. Who knows what the non-X-Line front will look like.

Well unfortunately it seems like the X-line will include that horrible front bumper just based on the press photos released by Kia. What I’m interested in seeing is if Kia got rid of the Nightfall package because they are just going to blackout the trim on all the non-X-line models.

From the few articles I have read yea they are replacing the nightfall edition option with the x-line. I’m super not happy.

 

[Bohen]

I am perfectly happy with mine .

I have an order with Kia of Muncie (ETA 10-12 months)... and there are numerous shipping companies posted here and I've contacted a few in the past.

I also ordered from South Dade Kia back in March (ETA 6-8 months) and I was just told my Telluride is arriving in a few weeks!!!

Only $500 markup too.

Friendly Kia is $4K total markup but the wait is often only 60 days. They are high volume dealer.

2023 WG took pictures from a FB post. No front pictures

Oled seems like a must

Oled seems like a must

I agree but I'm sure it costs more and right now I think the only car that has it is the Mercedes.

Interesting. I actually really don’t like those new headlights but definitely think the taillight revision looks nice. I’m shocked Kia is trying to change the orange rectangular DRLs, they look so iconic and great!

I agree… the daytime running lights are iconic and provide the T’Ride with real character. I also don’t like the “course screen” treatments of the grill very much.

 

[cheetah85]

It seems as if Kia is changing all trim levels for the 2023 Telluride to a more aggressive outdoor type look, which is fine with me but I am not a fan of blacked out wheels. If I am seeing photos and videos of the 2023 Telluride I believe that the blacked out wheels are on every trim level. Can anyone confirm this?
I really like chrome colored rims. I just ordered my Telluride and the salesman told me it may be a 2023.

I thought this was a helpful video comparing the old with the new. It makes me feel a little better about the 2023, as it points out several subtle improvements to the outside that I didn’t recognize at first. I wish the video compared the prior NF with the 2023, but it’s still helpful. I still probably prefer the 2022 exterior, but like I said, it makes me appreciate the 2023 a wee bit more.

This is a great video with analysis of the new facelift design. Definitely make me appreciate some of the changes they made with the facelift. Thanks for posting!
