Soon to be Telluride owner

[pipetweaker]

Hi everyone, just joined the forum as I am a soon to be owner of a Gravity Grey SX. Made a deposit November 9th and I am now patiently wait.OK more like anxiously waiting and the dealer has no idea how long it will take.

Anyway, I was a little unsure of the Kia as I just sold a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe that had 2 engine fails in less than 60000 kms (36000 miles) on a well maintained vehicle. This was the 3.3 lambda GDI engine which is basically the same engine as the Telluride only smaller.
After reading many forums etc. I came to the conclusion the telluride engine has less failures for whatever reason. Does anyone know if the kia engine is assembled in the USA or Korea?

Cheers everyone!
