2023 Kia Telluride Discussion

[chowfun27]

You probably could put the new LED tails in the 20-22' models with the huge caveat that you would no longer have reverse lights.

Didn't realize the reverse lights are now on the lower bumper. Bummer.

Does anyone have a picture of a gravity gray SX?

Yep. Plenty in this thread.

I’m in western PA. Are you close to Erie? I hear there’s a dealer there at msrp (auto express). Otherwise if you travel to pittsburgh - Smail in Greensburg is msrp (3-6 month wait quoted but might be longer). C Harper in belle vernon or Cochran in pittsburgh (12-16 months wait) . Monroeville Kia is msrp plus maybe a $1000-2000k warranty package)

Auto Express Kia in Erie did not add "market adjustment" to my order....2023 S AWD option ROJ sunroof...ordered last week, supposed to be on dealer lot next month...............they don't negotiate price but go straight off MSRP

I'm a little worried about the shiny piano black material around the center console. Is that difficult to keep clean and unscratched?

It’s easy to keep clean. I use a microfiber cloth I keep in the center console in my old car. I used it to wipe off the piano black and my infotainment screen. Scratches do occur, but it’s not too bad if you’re halfway careful.

Opinion on 1) Interior Gray nappa 2) Exterior Everlasting Silver

I have to update my order to 2023 SX-P.
With Gravity Gray, the interior options are Gray or Black nappa. I do not like black but the gray is almost white.
Can people weigh in on the 'Gray' nappa. We do not have pets or toddlers.
Does it get stained too easily?
Is it difficult to clean?
Is it too bright because everything except the floor is gray/white.\

If I have to go with Black interior, I'd switch to Everlasting Silver exterior? How do you like ES for exterior? Is it too reflective, Babyish blue?

I have done search of this thread but could not find answer.

Thank you.

I've had 3 telluride so far. Had one with the light grey interior.. yes it is almost white. But honestly it was the cleanest looking interior I have had. Black being the worst as it shows all dirt, finger prints etc. Your jeans can bleed onto the leather but easily cleans right off. Most dealers offer and interior/exterior protection package that would fix/replace any major interior leather issues that would occur.

I haven't ordered because none of the colors are really what I want. I have been driving past an ES nearly every day. Some pictures online frankly to me are horrendous. Baby blue is not what I want. Thankfully in person the car usually looks silver, not baby blue. I find ES just "ok". It's meh. I think it looks great on the rear and ho-hum from the front. Like a family car. But I wash my car maybe quarterly at most and don't mind a dirty car--it's a tool for me--but am fearful of a dark/black car with dirt and scratches. We don't want the black interior--it's a little dreary and lifeless--but will probably choose ES as the "least worst" option, which only allows black for our interior. Still deciding.

Hoping the X-SX-P V6 AWD models will start pumping off the line soon... The wife's Explorer is tired and it is time for a new ride.

I know! So many more X-Pro's are on Failcat vs X-Line's

So far there have only been 4 on Failcat with my configuration. X-SX-P, Dawing Red with Terracotta. Is that a weird configuration (I don't think so) or is is a parts issue? Only time will tell.

Yep, like 6-7 X-Pro to 1 X-Line

Yes - very interesting. According to the dealer guide X-Line mix should be about 32% and X-Pro about 13%. Failcat is showing a much bigger and opposite difference. Looks like their lack of X-Line building cost me having my order picked up during the last KFOS cycle this past weekend. I'm at the top of the list in the system for SX-Prestige X-Line and my dealer had no SX-Prestige X-Line orders picked up... bummer!

Same here - only 4 of X-SX-P, Everlasting Silver with Terracotta.

Of course they don't generate a VIN until they go to paint, so it could be there are way more coming down the line than we realize.

Possible. I see like 5-6 of xline SXP white with ter in failcat.

Does anyone have the actual dimensions of the cargo space with the 3rd row down?
I don’t want cubic space. I need length, width and height.
I’m getting dog carriers.

Finally received call from salesman at Fort Bend Kia. I originally put deposit in on 2/11/2022 for glacier white SX Prestige Nightfall with Dune Brown interior. Decided to go with X line Glacier White prestige with terracotta interior. Choices for interior were black, sage green or terracotta. Order being placed with Kia and salesman did not want to speculate when it arrives

 

[downeynucmed]

I noticed this also. Thankfully I went with the X-Pro instead of the X-LINE. Should have mine by 10/30 if not before.
