Nightfall photos incoming 😕

[Wee]

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?

Thanks for the photos! I personally love the whole thing including the wheels. Fake plastic chrome Is on my list of things I dislike most! Always gets permanent spots. Nightfall all the way for me!

My Ebony Black Nightfall is coming in 3 weeks. I'll be intersted to see how the black chrome looks on Black.

Love everything about it save for the wheels and grill. If they offered the trim pieces and badging on an SX - I think it would sell like hotcakes.

Wheels kill it for me, it was the reason I changed my order from Blackout to standard SXP.

Thanks for posting! Way better than the digital brochure. Wheels are a missed opportunity for me but overall its growing on me. Thought they got black lug nuts too?

Agree, the wheels are terrible. If it had the standard SX wheels it would look amazing.

This trim looks like ass and it greatly diminishes the look of the Telluride. And whoever designed those rims and approved them should be banished from the industry.

The nightfall trim is essentially the same black chrome as the stinger mirrors from the video and pictures. I personally am not a fan of it. Good luck keeping it clean and without fingerprints. Also the wheel what where they thinking. I guess they needed something different to justify the cost.

I am perfectly fine with the SX satin chrome and it’s wheel.

Has anyone seen a picture of the Snow White Pearl with nightfall? I was curious if it was any better.

One word: Disappointed.

 

[ohmykia]

Don't care for the wheels or the grille.
