Great vehicle...

I bought one and waited 4 months for delivery...was well worth it. Black on Black SXP with tow. Only thing I did was have it ceramic coated inside and out and undercoated (wax). 6 people in it and got 25+mpg . plenty of power and tech.

A lot of car for the $$$

I had my eye on the Telluride since they came out last year, very sporty looking. I finally test drove one and was NOT disappointed. You get a lot of SUV for the money with this vehicle. Great ride, SUPER spacious, beautiful computer/screen set up. Drives like a smaller SUV but with all the space of a large SUV. Love my new Telluride!

I’m in Love!

Beautiful! Love the style, color, and roomy interior. I’ve owned 2 Sorento’s and this Telluride is top of the line. Drive is so smooth and love all of the security this vehicle provides.

Best pricing for a SUV in this class. Beautiful!

So many great features at the price point it is offered. Very happy with the look and the performance of this vehicle and is a rock star in my opinion for Kia!

Beautiful vehicle

Great car - does everything well. Best seats I’ve ever had- better than my Land Rover, Audi or BMW. It’s almost the perfect all around vehicle. My only complaint is the programmed engine response. The drive modes of Smart- eco & comfort have a big dip in power right after you start from a stop. You can put it in Sport mode- but then you feel like it’s constantly holding the tranny in a lower gear- too severe. I’d rather have no drive mode choices and have the drivability well sorted.

Five days in

So far, I have nothing but good ratings for the new Telluride. It came exactly as I expected and was wanting. It is beautiful in black on black and has so many super safety features. I chose the EX and I feel it will go beyond meeting my needs. The most important feature for me was the second row bench seat which comes standard on the EX. I plan to keep the third row down and by doing so this gives me a very large cargo space. Loving it! It is just what I wanted.

By far the best purchase we have ever made

We looked at the Chevy traverse we looked at all different kinds of third row SUVs and the Kia Telluride by far had the most bang for your buck we were able to get everything I wanted including the leather seats the moonroof the heated and air-conditioned seats all of the bells and whistle‘s and it was $4000 less than the base model of the Chevy traverse. We are so over the moon with our new car I can’t even contain myself I want to tell everybody about it. Kiefer Kia in Eugene Oregon were the best. Our sales person mark treated us like friends of the family it was a very wonderful experience

Car of the Year

Kia has thought of just about everything and made it relatively easy to get used to as far as features are concerned. Details on the interior are very well thought out,

Very smooth ride.

This SUV is everything I thought it would be. Handles really well, very smooth ride, plenty of extra USB ports, rear seat air-conditioning controls, Second row captain seats release very easily from the hatch in the back, Radio sound system is very good. Steering wheel vibration if you veer out of your lane is a bonus.

Sporty SUV that my wife loves.

We have only owned this vehicle for a short time but my wife absolutely loves it. The safety features on this vehicle are excellent and the price is comparable to other SUV’s in its class. So far so good and we have been Kia owners for close to 18 years now.
