2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

[sm11963]

Here are two stickers for inbound Tellurides:

1 SX-Prestige X-Pro ETA 11/6
2 SX-Prestige X-Line ETA 10/29

On the sheet it looks like the SX-Prestige X-Line says it has Nappa leather? Does that confirm that the SXP XLine can also have nappa leather not just the SXP XPro?

What dealership are these going to? What state?

Is there a difference between these two trims as far as exterior styling? It did say there were 3 new grill designs. Or will the grill design be the same for both of these?

Yes that is correct. I was very excited to see this. On the EX when you add the X-Line package, you will not have nappa leather on that combination from my understanding.

NJ and ME. Would prefer not to share the actual dealerships, as one of these may already be accounted for

My dealer is saying that mahogany interior is not available with SX-P X-Pro with blue exterior (or any other exterior color) is that true?

I guess I will consider Terracotta, but don’t know if it will look to light. I prefer the look of the old dune brown, wondering what color is closer to that.

Per the release from Kia the X-Line and X-Pro will have several differences, including the grill and how "dark" certain trim pieces will appear. The X-Line is the most similar to Nightfall in regards to appearance.

Based on the previous information, X-Pro is available on the SX package and SX-P

Yes only Sage Green, Terracotta, and Black are available (depending on the exterior color) for the SX-P X-Pro. I've not seen it in person but dune appears darker than Terracotta where Terracotta looks more like an Orangey brown.

Thank you for catching that @Davemk. So it appears X-PRO can be added to any SX trim. Once we some more stickers we can confirm if the Nappa is standard on the X-PRO. That trim retails for exactly $1000 more so it sure is possible.

Dangit! I was hoping one was available to purchase!

@StephenCantrelle Thanks for all the great work you are doing here. I know you are mainly dealing with KIA USA but do you, by any chance, have any info on when we can expect to get more information for 2023 Canadian variant?

According to the Features and Trims sheet, Nappa is associated with Prestige, not X-Line or X-Line Pro.

I agree, this makes sense. It appears that all Prestige trims have Nappa leather across the board.

StephenCantrelle just posted several available for sale - have to be a TX resident though.

I guess my post last night really started something here. One question I have not seen addressed is how this affects people in the queue with 2022 orders. Should they expect calls from their dealer to “convert” the order to a 2023? Or does Kia somehow convert it on their own trying to match a 2023 to the 2022 build as best they can? Do the folks in the queue for a 2022 keep their spot in line?

I wish I had more details on the Canadian Variant. I just don't have access to it.

Sorry, I tried doing a search, but i may not have the right keywords....

I saw a document that listed all the items in each trim (different doc than the dealer doc). I was curious if you could get the EX X-line with bench seating and I think it listed it in that document.

We've looked at multiple 3rd row SUVs (e.g. Palisade, Explorer, Highlander, Pilot) and keep coming back to the Telluride! Now if I can convince my wife on the big expense....

Thank you!

No. Bench is only LX or regular EX. Once you add anything to an EX, it requires captains chairs.
