Looks Great!! Almost too smart for us...

We really enjoy our new Telluride, we named her "Fancy".. She is fancy, and so far, we have a few run-ins with her computer brain :). There have been a few times where she didn't want to start, still working on understanding the safety features. LOVE LOVE LOVE the vehicle!

Best Car Ever

This SUV has everything and then some. It's my first ever new car--always bought used because no car had ever caught my eye enough where I could justify payments. The Kia Telluride changed all of that. I fell in love with it and did tons of research to try and talk myself out of it- but couldn't find a single thing to dislike. I'm a lifelong Honda owner and said I'd never buy a Kia...and now can't imagine driving anything else. It is stylish, comfortable, has every convenience/entertainment feature you can think of, is amazingly quiet and silky smooth on the road. I've never been obsessed with any vehicle but I am with this one. Had it over a month and she hasn't disappointed yet. Get one!! (For reference I have an AWD SX)

Dont see the hype

Nice ride. But dont see what all the hype is. Now that they have added the ex premium package it seems that's all they are building. And for $1500 you loose a seat and gain 20 inch wheels. If I wanted 20 in wheels I would get the sx. I'm about to go look elsewhere.

Everything I wanted in a car.

I mostly wanted safety--I use the keep lane assist and adaptive cruise all the time. It is virtually self-driving on the highway. I am not tired after a long drive. I wanted quiet--it is very quiet, 7 decibels quieter than the Palisade at 70mph. I wanted comfort--the ride nicely dampens the bumps. It rides almost like a fine sedan, no jarring bumps. I wanted the seat to sit high--many adjustments possible.

Glad we switched

We have always been chevy/gmc people and decided to switch to Kia. So far so good. We have about 3,000 miles on our brand new Telluride, and are loving it so far!

Beautiful car, nicest car I’ve ever owned.

Very roomy car, I have long legs so it’s comfortable. Handles excellent. Few chips in hood I noticed today. Hopefully have grandkids some day and there’s room for us all.

Best suv I have ever drove

I never thought I would buy a Kia suv but when I was choosing the Land Rover lr4 or the Kia telluride or the Hyundai palisade I really fell in love instantly with the telluride. It’s pretty unique looking on the outside which was a welcome change from most cars. The inside comfort and the driving quality and options like sport mode and ambient lighting along with a huge touch screen make it a no brainer. I also love the driver assist to stay in the lane and cruise control setup as well as the technology to startup and lock up from your phone. It’s just incredible.

Pretty cool car

Love the safety features, options, comfort, style, ride and color. My only wish is they need to add a panoramic moon roof, homelink, and memory seats. Also the Car Play features should be easier to use and improve gas mileage.

Love our Telluride

Previously owned a Highlander, after reading the reviews and taking one for a test drive we knew it was the one we wanted. EX model so the "home link" wasn't included but well worth the extra few dollars for the convenience. We have had it about 2 months are couldn't be more happy with it.

Nicest vehicle I’ve ever had, everything I wanted

Every feature I sought, this car has. It’s stylish and modern and luxurious. It’s comfortable, the engine has major get up and go, the safety features are incredible, the gas mileage is great and being able to control it remotely from my phone is a huge plus. I love every single thing about this vehicle. Entirely pleased.
