I’m here to answer questions because I’ve seen a lot of posts and questions about the new Telluride.
I also have a 2017 Kia Optima SXL that I love.
I can post pictures of whatever you all would like to see.
Some of my favorite features:
-It is very fast in sport. I honestly have no way to describe it. It without a doubt would beat my 2.0L Turbo Optima in a drag race. It takes off so fast it feels like a rocket but I guess that’s a perk of a V6 engine? Anyways, I love it.
-The ability to remote start it from the myuvo app is amazing
-I love the quality of the Harman Kardon sound system. Of course I have similar sound system in my Optima. -The Quantum Logic Surround feature does perform better in my Optima I think due to the smaller cabin side and the driver being closer to the speakers. I feel like the middle row of seats in the Telluride sort of blocks some of the sounds coming from the back speakers. -The bass boosting feature makes up for it. It really bumps lol.

-The interior is beautiful, the (imitation) wood grain looks amazing.
-I like that you can change the colors of the interior
ambient lighting. It’s just a fun little touch.
-I use those cargo hooks way more than I thought I would.
Things that Lowkey bother me:
-The second row seats have a nice feature where you can push a button and the seat slides forward so that people can climb into the third row seats. But, I really wish that a button could also put the seat back into regular position. The seat is fairly heavy... Not so easy for children and even weak adults to push back. It would be nice to have that option.
-I wish the front sunroof shade was power. I know that’s a lot to ask but it would have been a nice touch, especially on the Prestige model. Granted, I am used to a power sunroof shade in my Optima.
-I wish the driver didn’t have to go to an entirely separate menu screen to simply turn on the rear climate.
And finally... the little thing that irritates me the most: the “move” button on the steering wheel that you push up or down to skip to the next song is BACKWARDS. In my optima, to skip to the next song you push the button upward. To skip to the next song in the Telluride, you push the button downward. I’m not sure why but this really irks me because I have to retrain my brain every time I switch cars... which I do very frequently.
Anyways, these are just a few things that I personally love/ think about about the most. I am happy to answer questions about anything else you would like to know!
