2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

[bhier]

Appears to be MSRP but wouldn't be surprised that if you called, they'd say otherwise. Many marked up ones online.

I can still click on it and see it. Weird.

"2023 Kia Telluride Pearl AutomaticWyler Family First Package Includes: NanoCure Appearance Protection: Exterior & Interior Chemical Sealant Applied to Protect Against Environmental Hazards (7 Year Warranty Coverage). Pulse- Rear end Collision Avoidance System Theft Deterrent Strategy gives you 5 Years of Coverage against vehicle Theft, Offering up to a $5,000 benefit."

I'll make a crazy guess and say that the 5k "benefit" is the mark up

I thought that hitch and harness are not yet available but that the X-Line/X-Pro orders would get it dealer installed at a later point.

That is what we were told as well. That is why we cant get our X-line SXP until after Nov because they were waiting on parts. Just hoping they can get to the bottom of this and give us an accurate answer. Until then we are just waiting around wondering if I need to call my dealership asking them to add the hitch on as well.

Where are you located? My dealer sells MSRP (kinda $1995 upcharge for included items like coating on paint, windshield, and tinted windows. This dealer applies the same fee even for a KIA Rio) but they told me they mark them up a bit if you live outside their service area.

I’m in the Orlando area.

It is worth it to me for the HUD alone. Once you have a car with this feature it is hard to go back.

He’s right. I had a 17 Camaro with a HUD and upgrade to a Jeep without out it. Been missing it ever since!

We ordered an EX last February and are going to update our order tomorrow.

Our salesperson said if we changed our order from an EX to an SX we would lose our place 'in line' and would have to start waiting all over again. Is that correct/a Kia thing? Or maybe a dealership thing?

If your order hasn't been picked up by Kia as of yet, you shouldn't lose your spot in the queue. I also updated my order from EX-P to SX X-line and I wasn't told I will be starting over from the end of the queue again.

The X-Line and X-Pro do not come with tow hitches. Do not.

Check out this order/price guide with all the PIOs. Why would it list the hitch/harness as optional for the X-Line and X-Pro if it was included as a part of those trims?

The good news is, this is something that is easy to bolt on and install. Everything else is there. Add it if or when you want when it’s available.

My dealer just sent me a copy of the order sheet. I saw the code "WK" as for the interior color. Can anyone please confirm that WK means Terracotta, the color I intended to order? Thanks.

That's correct but I wonder how much more of a markup through the dealer.

That’s different since it’sa model year turnover.

Agree.

I just finally got my order placed last night and my dealer finished the conversation with this exact warning. FYI this is not an order but a request. They aren’t building to suit you. They build what they want and you get whatever is closest to your request but it could have more or less “port added” options. Meaning additional costs you’re not aware of. I’m gonna be really mad if they add second row entertainment and I’ve gotta pay up or go to the back of the line

That is total BS and is a HUGE red flag. Find another dealer that isn't going to screw you over.

I ordered SXP X-LINE Ebony Black with Black interior and my sheet shows int/ext as EB/WK. I was told WK is for black. Maybe your Opt Grp? Mine is 010.

WK= Black Interior. But option group 12 right above it overrides the Black interior since Option group 12 is for Terracotta interior

I don't see either the "GMS" or "WK" on this option order sheet that a dealer posted on this forum.

Thanks. I"ll double check with my dealer then. Maybe Stephen can tell what is WK really means?
