2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

[Nvonp]

Do all dealerships have access to place orders? I’m being told they can’t build or place orders yet and I’m wondering if only select dealerships can do so?

 

[Zabul]

So the 2022 SXP AWD NF build was $50,715 (no tow package). The 2023 SXP X-Line AWD is $53,110.

The difference is about $2,300. A 5% increase doesn't seem too outrageous given inflation?

Dumb question: is the non-Nappa leather real leather or is only the Nappa leather the real deal?

All dealers now have access. Only a very small amount of us are watching everything daily.. This just went live last night.. so sales consultant likely isn't aware yet

If it says it’s leather, it’s leather.

EX and SX are leather.
SX-P is nappa leather, which is of finer quality.

There is no Premium package for 2023. It’s just a captains chairs option. That’s it. EX for 2023 comes with 20” wheels and LED headlights, which were the other components of the Premium package before.

FYI, power liftgate was on all EX models before as well, not a part of a package.

I always got confused. Thanks again for the detailed clarification.

I called mine now and is firmly in the unaware category lol. Any idea of when the builder will go live online? that seems to be my dealer's next benchmark.

ps-thanks for all you do, helps me hold my own dealer accountable

Sweet Baby... WE have incoming 2023 now showing up!! haha this day is Christmas in September!

Mahogany is not an X-Line interior color.

Right, but it's an SXP interior color. So if you get an SXP X-Line, only the X-Line interiors are fair game? It's a bit confusing.

Awesome, thank you! Thinking if the $3400 difference to my SX build is worth it. I guess I’d get more tech (including digital gauges panel), the sounds system, and better looking wheels. Decisions…

Thank you! Are there any other options besides prestige? Do the interior colors cost extra or is it only the exterior colors that have additional fees? Meaning is it more expensive to get a mahogany interior vs black?
