One Week Review of Telluride SX-P Nightfall

[zhelder]

So I’ve had my Telluride SX-P Nightfall (Ebony Black/Gray) for a week (OK, 8 days) and here are my initial thoughts...

- The car is beautiful, inside and out!

- Build quality is top notch. I upgraded from a 2013 Honda Accord Touring, and I honestly believe the build quality of the Telluride is better.

- For a car of this size, the cabin is quiet. Haven’t discovered any wind noise problems.

- The premium sound system is very good. Plenty of bass.

- Seats are comfortable. Love the thigh extender!

- I love the heads-up display! It’s clear and very detailed. Changing the color of the speedometer is a nice touch. I have it set to green to mellow me out. And the blind spot indicators in the display? That may be the best feature of the car. That’s some Star Wars stuff.

- The car handles well. Power and acceleration are decent enough, if not revolutionary.

- The surround camera is awesome. It helps me squeeze the car into my tight garage.

- The infotainment/navigation controls are easy to use and very responsive. The infotainment system in my Accord was slow and horribly buggy, so I was happy to see this.

- You don’t think you need power folding mirrors until you have them.

Flaws? Only two minor ones I’ve found so far... the gas tank could use a bit more capacity and I can’t fit my iPhone 12 Pro flat on the Qi pad when a USB cable is plugged in.

Overall, I am even more in love with this car than I thought I would be. Hoping to enjoy it for many years!

Congratulations!

I have an 11 Pro Max and I stick mine (when connected via cable) in between the gap of the folding door cover for the accessories ports/ Qi charger.

I actually dont use Apple CarPlay a lot, so my ProMax fits perfectly on the Qi pad while connected via Bluetooth.

Great review! I agree on all of those highlights. The HUD is a gamechanger that definitely is worth it. The overall package is amazing and i'm still in awe, after 1 month of owning mine.

OK, here’s a few pics of Night Ranger. Forgive the bit of schmutz on the rear. It rained pretty hard here a few days ago. I’ll get a wash soon!

Looks great, thanks for sharing the pics. If I may, can I ask about your sales experience with Nutley Kia?

Your review pretty much matches mine! Here's my fix for the iPhone 12 Pro not sitting flat:

Anker USB-A to 90 Degree Lightning Cable​

It was good. Aside from the long wait, I was happy with them. MSRP and no pressure for add ons. The trade-in value they gave me on my Accord, while a little less than I hoped for, was also reasonable.

I agree with you, I have a black SX nightfall
With butterscotch interior I get tons of looks. People asking me what kind of car is that.
Especially young guys. Even 2 cops pulled me over just to look at the telly. The women thinks it's self. I love my telly

Thank you for the response. I went there recently to order a SXP, but they mentioned that an order put in March would take well over 6 months, probably closer to 9 months and there is a chance that if I ordered a 2021 model, I may take delivery of a 2022 model. They were pretty transparent, which was nice.
