    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

I love clay pottery as much as the next guy, but I don't need my automobile's interior to look like it.
Imagine the amount of clay pottery you could smuggle 😊 It's a warm and earthy tone. At first I was very bummed that they discontinued Butterscotch but I am really starting to like the Clay-U-Ride
 
too early to talk about all-weather mats or front wrap or ceramic or financing? :p:cool:
I think someone posted earlier that the all-weather mats are the same as the MY22.

Thanks. Has anyone seen a listing of the interior color codes? I want to confirm my order is correct when it was switched to MY23. The order shows NUP and is supposed to be Misty Gray/Navy.

Really unsure why it wasn't included with the price sheet I got my hands on and posted above. It literally includes all of the trim/option codes for everything else, even the more premium paint color options.
 
Update...My salesman just called to offer me a Allocated Telluride they have coming in the next 4-6 wks without tow hitch or harness but everything else I ordered is the same and he should have a Vin for me within 2 weeks or wait until hitch and harness are available in November and it will take longer.
Well I think ya'll know what I opted for....get me my Telly now! I'll deal with the hitch and harness later. LET'S GO KIA!! I am so EXCITED!!!
 
My dealer said that the self leveling is coming installed now. They said to avoid delays in turn out the have eliminated the tow at the build sites. Adding tow will need to happen at dealer ship. This was for a sx-p order. X-line may still come with tow installed however.

Self-leveling suspension is a part of the X-Line and X-Pro packages.

Otherwise, it only comes with the tow package for EX and SX trims (currently late availability due to hitch/harnesses being unavailable).
 
Has anyone seen the instrument cluster on a 2023 EX or lower trim? I've searched high and low. The late-August dealer guide describes them as below, but all the videos and images I've found show the highest level trim with the single, continuous panoramic screen. What will the dash displays that look like with only the 4.2" TFT IP Cluster?

4.2” TFT IP Cluster: LX, S & EX
12.3” TFT LCD: SX & Higher

They all appear as the continuous panoramic screen, so you’ve probably seen it. On the lower trims, the left side will only have a 4.2” customizable digital portion of the cluster, whereas the higher trims will have a full digital cluster on the left. The solid piece (panoramic screen) will appear on both, so from the naked eye, at a distance, it will look the same.

I posted it a few months back.

Here’s another view or two from an EX X-Line.

I thought the Xpro and Xline didnt have the silver on the grill?

Walk around video of a Dark Moss, SX Prestige X-Line Pro, AWD, with the terracotta interior that I found on Youtube.
Yeah this X-Pro grill sure looks silver to me. Definitely not the "new Nightfall". I guess maybe this silver grill is a tiny bit darker than the lower trims? Definitely not as dark as as what was shared earlier for X-Pro:

Does anyone have a picture of the white SX prestige 2023?

Was asked to transfer an order to this Saturday but I declined due to the price increase. We test drove a Palisade in town (dealer I ordered from is 6 hours away) and can have one in two weeks with all the options my Telluride had that were important to me but for much less than my 2023 Telluride order. Now my original dealer called and said my car has been allocated from Kia…. The problem is I don’t want to pay the extra money but since it’s been allocated my dealer will not answer me a strait answer when I am requesting a refund on my $1,000 (“Nonrefundable”) deposit. They are not being mean about it, just not answering directly. I fee in good faith the deposit should be refunded, since this was not the car I ordered. Thoughts?

I received confirmation my order was picked up too. My ETA is 11/1.

Did your dealer say if there's any difference between the tow hitch/harness they would add at the dealership vs one that would be factory installed? I always prefer factory installed where possible but I don't really want to wait either.
 
I’m battling that same choice. You can’t go wrong with either one. Basically, it boils down to rugged (Telly) vs. sophisticated (Palisade), and which design route appeals to your tastes. The differences in tech and drive are negligible, and for me, are not significant enough to choose one over the other.

Decide which design you like best, figure out which one you can get cheaper and more quickly, and throw all these factors away and just get the one your wife wants. :LOL:
My wife says Telly and I’m good with it. Telly has extra cup holders NOT attached to doors (great for little kids) and a bigger trunk.
 
Update from Canada. We ordered early March and got a call from our dealer today asking if we are still interested, and that we would get a MY2023. They are updating their list but did not have exact details on price or trims. Said price should be $1000 to $1500 more than MY2022, and could be Nov, Dec or Jan to arrive. I’m getting excited now!

The tow hitch and harness installed by the dealer or yourself afterwards would be identical to if it was put in as a port-installed option.
