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... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner. -

If I can , I’m going to put the Telluride lettering on the hood of my 23 when it comes in .

The way things are going ( crazy times ) you may drive your 22 for a few years sell at same price or more than purchased , then upgrade to a very new and improved Kia Telluride with 22 styling on a 24 model

That's kind of what I'm doing right now. I currently have a 2019 Nissan Kicks SR and I'm trading it in for just a couple thousand less than I paid for it. Love the Kicks, but ready to upgrade to a bigger vehicle with a few more "goodies" in it! However, I am going to miss the 34 MPG I get with the Kicks!

Gas mileage is one of the few things not happy with this vehicle . I live in Millsboro DE do a lot of driving back to Staten Island NY where my son and Family live . 225 miles each way

Don't bet the ranch on that one. Standard for the auto industry - not just KIA - is 3 years before significant design changes.
Each year it seems to get a little uglier. With that said, I'd love to have that all digital dash.

The digital dash looks like it has a massive inactive area in the middle. I might guess that they kept the 12" center console screen (and it's position), and added the Palisade driver screen, and bridged them with black painted glass. I haven't seen anything that indicates a continuous UI is possible. Not sure if that would annoy me or not, just an observation.

I'll start gushing over the digital dashes when they can do it like the Mercedes and Cadillacs with the OLED screens. Those will look gorgeous! ESPECIALLY at night.

It is two separate 12.3” screens on the same plane. Just like the Carnival, EV6, Sportage, and Ioniq 5. The small space between the screens is going to be covered by the steering wheel, anyway. The Palisade (even the 2023) still has a hooded and recessed gauge cluster. It isn’t on the same plane as the infotainment screen.
Also note that the current (20-22) Telluride has a 10.25” central infotainment screen.
That front end still reminds me of a Lego bumper.

I am in the same boat as some others. I've had an order in for an S AWD for months and will be getting a 2023 by the time my name comes up on that dealer's list. However, I was lucky enough to snatch up a 2022 S AWD with another dealer that I have a VIN for and is getting delivered within a couple weeks. So glad that I went ahead and snatched up a 2022. That photo of the 2023 S is horrific.

I agree the front of the 2022 looks nicer but not a deal breaker for a 23. I like the look of the back and chrome dual exhaust on the 23.
I'm going to put the Telluride Lettering on front hood of my 23, change the rims if there's no option other than the square block black rims shown on the 23 model

You are going to have to be satisfied with things like the video that was posted today with a dealer discussing the NEW features with a KIA rep. A side-by-side comparison doesn't exist, nor will it ever be.

You could see the look of a 21,22,23 model below . I don't think the new front bumper on the 23 is that bad . I just hope the yellow light around front LED remain . Thats a nice distinctive look.

That is a GREAT link - thanks. Gets as close to a side-by-side as anything I have seen.
To answer your question -- NO, the amber DRL is gone for '23. They re-designed the whole headlight assembly with 100% LEDs.
If they matched the color of the front lego bumper with the body it would probably look a lot better.
My thoughts exactly… we plan on replacing our 2021 when it’s in its fourth year - so probably a 2025. If they look like the 2023 I’ll be buying a dark colour so it camouflages the fugly grill and bumper.
