• 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...

What changes do you want to see for the Telluride before it's released?

Well! We know all about the features included in various trim levels of the KIA Telluride. If you don't, you have some reading to do. So, with that being said, what changes would you like to see? What's a deal-breaker that may or will prevent you from buying a Telluride?
 
I don't see paddle shifters in the interior shots. Not a deal-breaker but they're fun to use for down-shifting. Also, wireless Apple CarPlay would be nice.
 
I would like a “black out / smoke” version where they black/smoke out the emblems, chromes, and anything else not black besides the color of your vehicle. Would be cool if they added it as an option to the S version.

I have a feeling wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are built into the system - and that once they're fully available - KIA will open up the option...

I could see them doing this with a sport version of the Telluride. If not, I'm sure there will be a nice-sized aftermarket!

I’m very attracted to this platform because of the anticipated aftermarket. Would like to build a sport one into a rugged, small lift, off-road wheels and tires w/ wide offset, wide fender flares, and blacked out exterior.

Something like this that Toyota already offers from the lot

I'm highly confident that you'll be able to build the Telluride into exactly what you're looking for...
 
What I haven’t seen is built in WiFi ? Or did I miss it? Could really use that for the kids
Hmm... Yeah, I don't remember seeing that...

Not sure if the “sports shifter” would be paddle shifters or just another selection on the gear selector?

Homelink only available on the SX trim???? Not good
Homelink is definitely one of those features people expect in pretty much any automobile these days. Perhaps it's just standard in the SX and an addable feature/option in the other trims...

Yea it shows as not available but pretty likely it will be an option. It probably is best to wait till the Telluride build link is available to see what will be available, like Homelink , hitch, and so on. Homelink and a Hitch are optional on every Sorento build.
 
Does KIA have a remote start app. I'd like a remote start app.

Would like to see AWD available on all trims like in their other SUV's. Not a deal breaker for me since I would want the top trim anyway, but could turn many away.
 
AWD is available in all trim levels.

Good to know.. in the initial versions it only showed AWD available as the premiere option on the SX...hmmm... might have to reconsider which one to get now.
