• 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...

Snow White Pearl vs Glacier White Pearl

Only 1 SWP VIN created on 8/25. Prior to that was 8/22 with many almost every day.

Have we seen the last of the SWP VINs? GWP could be anyday now!

Ha, that's the first thing I look at every day. Change results to 500 per page, CTRL+F "White". I know I can sort but I like to look at the general trends in other combinations too.

Awaiting to see GWP show up :cool:. Now that August is ending we may get to see GWP's built.

Here’s a video of a GWP K5

 
Yes, looks to be more of a traditional white according to this video. Relieved they didn’t go the off-white, cream colored route

Hi. We were planning on ordering a Telluride in Snow White Pearl. But I’ve seen on this forum that Snow White is being replaced by Glacier White for 2021. Anyone know what the difference is?

We just received our 2021 Telluride SX Nightfall Edition with the Prestige Package. The color is Snow White Pearl with Light Gray interior. On the Kia website they are also still showing Snow White Pearl so definitely still available.

You've got a lot of reading to do.

Short story, though, is that the changeover from SWP to GWP has (finally) happened. There will still be a few SWP models showing up at dealers, and then it will be done. As of Friday, GWP has started! Everyone here is excited to see them in person, although I'm willing to bet absolutely no one will be able to actually tell the difference unless there is a SWP and GWP parked side by side.
 
I don’t understand why they discontinued the Snow White Pearl, that was a beautiful color.
Every glacier I have ever seen has a blue tint—but I am not seeing any blue in that video.

Ya I was soooo worried about it being creamy white. We lucked out!

They didn't discontinue it. My 2021 SWP is coming in in two weeks.

They did. Yours is probably one of the last ones off the line in that color.

SWP was originally stated to be a "July 2020 end of production." It held out longer than anyone would have expected, the last ones were produced the last week of August.

Ah, got it. So the early 2021's have it and that's basically it?

Yes. Every 2020 white model and all of 2021 up until 8/25. GWP started showing up 8/28. That was the changeover.

That is correct. A carryover color from 2020 that has now ended production and the new white is GWP.
 
So I ordered my SX-P in October of 2019. Still don't have it. As 2019 drew to a close, I was told by salesperson that I'm now going to get the 2021 version of what I ordered at the price I signed for when I thought I was buying a 2020. Anyway, now this paint color swap out is making me nervous. I ordered Snow White Pearl. Looks like they've officially swapped to Glacier White Pearl now. So what happens to an order like mine that is in their system as SWP? Do they just automatically swap me to GWP? Or do I get tossed out of the KFOS system and have to start all over now? I have just about had it with all this. Ten months and counting is really wearing me down. Buying a new car is supposed to be fun. Anyway, if anyone knows what they'll do with an order like mine, please advise. Thanks.
