• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

Anyone from Canada able to place a confirmed order with their dealer yet?
My dealer told me he does not have anything as yet but will be sending out an email once he receives official word on it....just checking my email constantly now
 
its funny how we dont have an idea how some of the colors look like, but some of us are jumping in blind placing orders b4 the backlog to kia becomes high enough for the telly to be delayed by months and months
I figure by the time my 2023 order is ready to pull, all the details will be out and I can change/cancel accordingly if needed. Hedging my bet if you will.
 
The guy did mention that bs package. So I guess we could call that a mark up
 
Do all of the 2023 seat have that noticeable chevron like stitching?

I am also torn between those two colors. Auto show lights will always brighten it up a bit- I don't expect it to be that bright most days. I also loved the Moonlight blue on the Palisade (based on auto show video footage), but in person, it's basically black.
Wow, the palisade does look black! Even in the bright sun! Kind of defeats the purpose of having blue if it looks black IMO. It’s crazy to me this MLB can look so different! I’m also wondering if the WG is harder to keep clean? I live in the Midwest so I think the blue might be easier to keep looking clean? I know I love WG in person just nervous to order the MLB without seeing in person! My last 2 vehicles were black so this is a huge decision for me 😂

Not sure if that is just for the X-Pro or if other trims will have it. We have seen no other interior photos aside from the X-Pro. I'll wager the other trims will have other designs or no design.
 
Can I order the Wolf Gray without Prestige? I know WG only has Black or Terracotta as interior option, but on the trim sheet it says that X-Line is Non-Nappa, which suggests to me that I can now order WG and Terracotta X-Line in EX or SX (without Prestige)?
 
For those that placed an order, what kind of receipt did you get? My sales person will text me a picture he says.
I received a KIa order sheet. 2023 Telly.webp But we already had a deposit down for a 22.

My question too, I don't want Nappa but I'd consider WG with Terracotta (my 22 order is black interior sx)

I read some voting post about easy to maintain colors. Wolf Gray is one of the most voted colors.

I don't think you need prestige to get Wolf Gray. For 2022, nightfall is the requirement for Wolf Gray. For 2023, X-line or pro is sort of the new nightfall. So as long as you select x-trims, Wolf Gray should be available.

Same logic for terracota.

For prestige, you get nappa leather instead
______________________________
 
I feel like prestige and nightfall used to a 50/50 split since one offers dune brown and the other offers wolf gray. But for 2023, x-trims beat prestige by exclusive colors. This makes prestige less attractive and worthy of the extra money. But maybe x-trims are more expensive than the old nightfall?
 
My dealership just called me today. No pricing, no order modification yet. He said he has been contacting all existing orders to confirm interest before changing any orders. He also said the system is not open for orders yet. It seems like the opening order thing varies by dealership.
 
I received something similar today, however, I have the option group cost as 295 and PIO 210. Any idea what that might be?
I ordered white with terracotta interior.
295 for the terracotta just like Kia did for butterscotch.
210 is the price for carpeted floor mats so that could be it.
