Which leather color looks the best in person?

The gray which is really white looks very rich. The espresso is a letdown, too grayish brown unlike on website. Butterscotch is ok but not w the moss green. I have gray and everyone loves it!
Where are you? They have one in Woodbridge Va. SX AWD. They have about eight others too at Koons Kia
 
I am ordering tomorrow!! The colors have been the toughest choice by far since I can’t see them in person. I originally wanted white and then I changed my mind since there’s so many white cars in our area. I think I might go for the dark moss with the light gray Napa. I like the ruged on the outside and a little more feminine on the inside. I am the main driver of the vehicle and the only female in the family. Including the dog ;)
I have the Moss AWD with light gray leather not kappa and it looks awesome. It is especially nice because the dash is also light gray unlike the browns that have a black dash and doesn't have a nice flow.
 
Hey everyone, in my area, I can't find the Telluride in stock anywhere. So I have to order it. I was going to order the SX AWD package with the Nappa leather. I keep going back and forth with all the leather colors. Has anyone seen all 3 in person? Which do you think looks best? My exterior color choice will most likely be the Moss Green. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have Moss Green with the light gray leather sx non prestige and it looks the best in my opinion. I like that the dash is also light gray unlike the brown colors that have a black dash-they look to me like someone just took a black interior and changed out the seats and armrests but some may like that, that's why there's chocolate and vanilla.

I ordered the espresso in April, it is still not here!
I ordered espresso in April as well and cancelled it last week because I went to another dealer and bought a Moss Green, light grey interior sx AWD with tow pkg, non-prestige right off the lot. I bought it on the 24th of Sept, the dealer received it on the 19th of Sept and it was manufactured (came off the line) on Sept 3rd, 2019

I wish I could order a White SX non Prestige with the gray leather interior. I looked at the KIA build site and it would not let me build this combination. Did I build it incorrectly or is it truly not an option?

This is a valid option. No worries. I just did it... the site is a little confusing.

This is a non-prestige SX that has gray lower dashboard? The Kia site is very confusing. Can you ]shed some light on this?

Yeah, we've been discussing this for a while. Kia changed their website on August 8, and the grey leather interior trims appear to have dark lower dash components. However, Chukpapa's vehicle was built in September and is SX with grey leather and has the light grey lower dash. So, yes, it's all a bit confusing to say the least. On this forum, we have not seen pictures (nor has any dealer seen) of a Telluride that was ordered after August 8 and delivered. So, we don't know if the website is wrong or if Kia made a change to the trims. Wish we had more info.
 
Wow! That's helpful but leaves me in a pickle. Not sure what color SX to order inside. Favoring the Snow White Pearl OR Dark Moss (exterior). Interior? I don't care for black interior.... Suggestions??? Tips?

If non-prestige, I would just order the grey leather interior as it should have the light headliner at least. The butterscotch interior has a dark headliner. As I said, we're not sure about the lower dash panels at this point - but the vehicles that we have seen with grey leather actually have light lower dash.

The SX-P with grey nappa is really light - almost white. Very elegant - but also a lot more over FWD SX. I would just order the SX if that's what you want and hope it turns out like Chukpapa's... there's no obligation when you order - because the dealer will always be able to sell to someone else if you don't want it when it arrives.

As for exterior color - your choice of course. We have Dark Moss with Dune SXP - love it. Both the Dark Moss with Grey and the SWP with Grey leather interiors are elegant - I've seen them in person. Someone posted their SWP SX with grey nappa on the forum - real nice. Username is Shanekendrick8 I believe.

Mine is the dark moss non-prestige sx with the "gray" interior that is almost white. I really do not like gray interiors in cars but this one is so light it just looks white, with the same color lower dash and door panels it really looks great. It's been a Wow moment every time I pick up someone new in it too! You can see on the door plate it came off the assembly line Sept 3, 2019

Yes it is the non-prestige. I've posted photos but will again here. As for the , I don't think KIA even knows what they have, salespeople have told me totally different stories. Originally I ordered the SX Moss Green non-prestige with Espresso interior. One dealer told me that combination was not available and they couldn't order it so I went to another dealer that did! When it took over 6 most to come in I bought the same car off the lot at the first dealer with the gray interior and I am very glad I did because I love it! I have had a lot of very nice cars all my life, mostly Mercedes S's and SL's but have had a few BMW's 5 and 6 series and I enjoy driving this KIA better than all of those including my F150 Platinum Pick-up trucks etc.

So this means gray interior on non prestige stayed the same and not changed like on Kia site? Also I noticed the dune brown on Kia site is different than what I’ve seen in person. I just hope they keep that look of the gray interior on the non prestige models.

I got the Moss Green SX non-prestige (MGSXNP) WITH THE GREY INTERIOR AND I LOVE IT AND IT LOOKS GREAT ANND EVERYONE THAT SEES IT LOVES IT TOO. most say they can't believe it's a Kia! It looks great. I had ordered the espresso in April and it never came, late week they called and told me it would be in on November 21st! Having seen it I am even happier that I gt the (light) gray. I have posted several photos and responded in same to many of these queries. Good luck with your final decision, I think you're gonna love this car!

I agree! The brown faux wood reminds me of my dads station wagon in 1980 ; )
 
I drove a Snow White Pearl with Butterscotch. That’s what I recently ordered from Muncie. I didn’t think the grey was on the dash as there have been conflicting reports about that. I’ll be happy when I get mine...
I have Moss with espresso. I wanted Butterscotch, but it wasn't available when i ordered the vehicle back in April. The espresso looks good, but EVERYTHING is brown. Everything. Oh wait, the carpet is black. Hopefully you get yours soon!

Still thinking I’d like the Gray interior better. But may not be great with the Snow White Pearl exterior. Plus I’d have to get the Prestige Package in order to get the Gray Nappa Leather trim. Plus I already ordered mine through Muncie guys......
