• 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...

Nightfall photos incoming 😕

For an ex trim it’s probably a good price /step in the right direction. Compared to the SX trim I don’t believe it to be a good value /right direction (the wheels mostly)

So just saw the new wheels on the 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro in a Car and Driver article...look rather familiar.
When I showed my brother (who owns a Tacoma and 4Runner) without missing a beat he said
"Oh, looks just like the TRD Pro wheels"

Stopped by the Southside Kia today, the dealer that posted photos on FB last night, some of you mentioned.

A few things from first impression. (just my 2¢)

- The trim pieces look vastly different in person compared to previously released photos.

- Window trim does not look like the same color as the roof rails or lower trim pieces. Appears more grey/black while the lower trim and rails look darker. Notice the front air vent trim, how much more black it is compared to window trim. Rails and lower trim are same darker color.A
Although not sure why they did it this way, seeing it in person the more grey'ish trim looks better than black around windows IMO.​

- The wheels are horrendous in person. I feel like it makes the overall car feel more like a cheap kids toy (don't burn me down, it's just my opinion)

- Grill looks great and is more of a flat black, not a powder-coat rougher finish. I really like this piece.

- Black trim on headlights is superb.

- Body color door handles look excellent as well.

- both the lettering and front and rear skid plate trim pieces look better than original chrome. Much more fitting IMO.

- If only we could have Nightfall with SX wheels. Might just go that route and buy resale SX wheels.

Anyone else not loving the wheels?😕

I’m definitely not a fan of those wheels. Nope.
 
I think they should give the Canadians the black rims they have been requesting...

Pretty sure they will have plenty of stock soon...

All in jest. Would not wish that on my Canadian friends.
 
Has anyone seen a picture of the Snow White Pearl with nightfall? I was curious if it was any better.

I actually like the black chrome more than the satin metal trim pieces. 👍

Also loving the new K5 and Seltos models.

That Dustin Car Tips youtuber needs to not record audio on his cheap ebay quality headset. Might as well have been speaking into a tin can.
 
The white one looks better than the black, but still don’t prefer the nightfall
 
As soon as he said “aesthetic upgrade”, he lost all credibility.

Sorry Dustin!

Isn’t it though? Unless I am missing something about the nightfall package that improves performance. Or you mean you do not like Nightfall.

He did drop the ball by not mentioning about the remote start, 7-pin, new armrests for capt chairs, and heater system update to 2021 SX AWD models though.

The wheels ARE horrible. Shame on you KIA! Looked at a lot of photos now. Wheels are a big fat zero IMO.
 
With a $6k markup you'd think they'd have a lil more production value behind their videos! Ha

6K MARKUP! These dealers are INSANE. They can eat 'em!

Correct term would have been aesthetic travesty.
 
Okay I am just going off what I see on videos the nightfall has all kinds of black. Black chrome window trim, shiny black grille surround and matte black inner grill, shiny black wheel and lastly the rear looks like black chrome. Let’s not forget the matte black bottom part of the car. So feels like a whole lot of mismatch black.
 
If everyone refused to pay over MSRP, There probably would be a lot more inventory on dealer lots.
 
Not sure if this was posted elsewhere, but just came across this. Everlasting silver (although he says gray)
Gives a good look at arm rests too, which don’t look much different to me
