Nice looking car.

Nice looking car. After 3 years front seats break down and feel hard. Difficult to get parts if you need any body work, even in 2023 had supply chain issues. The most frustrating thing is you can't shop around for insurance because some major carriers refuse to quote Kia due to thefts no matter what year or model. Also as time goes on start to feel a bit rough in the ride. It is also high priced SX Prestige Nightfall. I just traded it off so I am not locked in on insurance and I don't continue to lose so much with the rapid depreciation.

Good vehicle but lacks trunk space

I bought a new 2022 Telluride for the family to travel in. My wife and son did not want to drive it because it had blind spots when trying to change lanes and the length of the hood up front was to long for them. I loved the vehicle. Good power. Good smooth ride. Interior was amazing. The only issue I had was the limited space for luggage. We had 5 travelers and had to take luggage and put it inside my daughter's vehicle who was driving separately. Other than that great vehicle.

Best car I’ve purchased

I love the way it rides nice and comfortable. Picks up power on hills and it’s a perfect size for long trips to pack what u need!!

Great Ride

Went to dealership to purchase a new telluride, only to find out they are very hard to find due to high demand. My salesman searched the dealership locations to see if there was one on a lot that fits my criteria. Nope, the best they could do for me was to put some money down a one that was being built as we spoke in West Point, Georgia. That delivery was in a little more than 4 weeks away. So ordering one from the start would have been a few months for delivery. I gave them a down payment on the one being built, a 2022 Telluride S, in dark moss. That color was 3rd on my list. I got the car in less than 3 weeks and it is awesome. The comfort, the ride, the quiet cabin, the standard features, the captains seats in the second row, everything about it is the way I like my cars to be. Everyone who comes to see it, loves it. I even get stopped on the road with "Thumbs up" when it gets eyeballed. I traded a Grand Cherokee for it, and I'm glad I did.

Grinding=gear meshing noise.

Grinding gear-meshing noise in drivetrain. It started with 2000 miles intermittent, !500 now-steady noise when drive train is engaged. Filed complaint with KIA. At first they insinuated I was hearing things. They now acknowledge it but don't know what it is. Frustrated as xxxx. Another appt. on 10-31. My dealer is not great. Ready to take the hit and go back to VW Atlas.

2 bad engines, horrible mpg

Third engine in 27k miles. This last one for some reason barely gets 17-18mpg on a tank 50/50 highway town. The last 2 engines it was 23-24combined. Went to the dealer with the concern and they claim it falls under normal operation expectations. Will trade it shortly.

Overall excellent vehicle

This is my second Telluride, both have been trouble free, excellent vehicles. Have had BMW in the past and quite frankly the feel behind the wheel is comparable. Highway gas mileage is excellent, can easily get 28 mpg with the cruise set at 78 mph (mine is awd). Could not be more pleased.

Telluride is really the best

This car has long been my favorite. But it was hard to get and I had to give dealer more money. I ended up buying this car and I'm very satisfied. You'll see why people rate this car well when you ride it yourself. The exterior design is excellent, the interior is good, and the cost-effectiveness is the best. I highly recommend this car.

Suv of the decade

Best suv value for a three row sport utility vehicle. Priced thousands below the competition. Quality and reliability are without a doubt the very best.
