Very impressive for a near base model. Looking at this spec helps you to understand the dynamics of the model, without being distracted by tech or luxury items. Thanks for another great review. Cheers.
I think the EX without extra option packages is the best deal. It has all the common features people expect like power lift gate, push start with smart key entry and blind spot monitoring without any extra pricey luxury features. EX has more comfortable, durable and economical tires on 18” wheels standard, but you can still get 20” wheels if you really want them if you add the option package.
i got mine in los angeles in november at MSRP for a 2021 Telluride S. Just have carpros glendale and dtla kia fight for you. I was flexible on color and wanted the S with nothing else. Good look
Find a telluride S for 35,000 buy it . Unless you want AWD then forget about 35,000. Didn't talk about the manual reclining third row seats . And think headlights and fog lights should be standard on all trims . Got my S AWD for 38,505 delivered . Love it and have had chance to check it out in snow . Very confident driving in snow and ice .
LEDs should be standard(especially considering the Explorer, Highlander, Durango, Atlas, CX-9, Traverse/Acadia, and forthcoming JGC L have them as standard equipment). Maybe they will add adaptive LEDs to the SX and give the standard LEDs elsewhere in the refresh. I would even take a smaller wheel(can always add better later) in exchange for LEDs!
My daughter just bought a Telluride a few days ago. She had to drive 6 hrs. To buy it due to the unavailability of the Telluride. It’s crazy how popular they have become and how much more you have to pay. 🤯☘️
I think the EX is the way to go if you can afford it and if you can find one at MSRP. Leather seats, 10.25 in touchscreen, heated and ventilated front row seats, wireless charging, etc. I bought my ‘21 EX AWD at MSRP which was around $41K which I think is still a good value when compared to the competition. I wouldn’t support paying over sticker on any car but paying MSRP for the Telluride I think is still a reasonable deal when considering all that you get.
@@CarConfections Wanted black so bad, but knew that I would be looking dirty and dusty all the time. So I went for the white, and absolutely love it! Black interior. I knew more about the car than the dealers did thanks to all of your videos!
We have the mid range sel awd palisade. Ours has cloth heated front seats which I love didn't want faux leather. We don't get the sun roof like the s telluride which is fine. Captain seats for 2nd row and push button shifting and we get paddle shifters on steering wheel. We got it below msrp of $36k 18 months ago.
Due to their very low production volume, they are in short supply on dealer lots. Because this, you can actually buy a V6 Toyota Highlander for less after discounting. You really have to want this to pay the price.
Great review - really enjoying your channel - was very helpful for me while I was shopping. I just bought the Everlasting Silver S trim with running boards and got it under MSRP (in Columbus, OH). Was planning on getting the Atlas because of my VW fanboyism, but drove the Telly and lost my fu$&:ing mind at how well rounded awesome this vehicle is. It’s the nicest car I’ve ever owned. Buy stock in KIA.
If the Sorento comes standard with a third row, I'd like to see a Sport 2-row option for the Telluride. Not the coupe of a joke, but not everyone wants or needs the third row but would like the extra legroom.
@@stephenhendricks103 no, but the Telluride already by default has more legroom than the Sorento. I'd love a Defender-style 2-row with a front bench/jump seat option.
@@PaulHo If you're comparing the Telluride and Sorento in terms of 1st and 2nd row legroom, the difference is negligible. The two are identical in 1st row legroom (41.4") and in the second row differ by only 0.7" (42.4" vs 41.7"). (Car and Driver stats.) The difference, of course, is in third row legroom (31.4" vs 29.6"). Even so it's worth noting that the Sorento third row offers 2" more than a Toyota Highlander (27.7"). And unlike Toyota's cruel joke claiming the Highlander's third row seats 3 passengers simply because it includes 3 seatbelts, KIA claims the Sorento's 3rd row is a "plus 2" feature.
Absolutely excellent review as always y’all! It’s so funny because I was thinking during the entire review that it was an excellent value, but some of the stuff, mainly auto climate control, that they chose to admit was weird, and then you said that was the air ball. I’d love to see your guy’s opinion on the LX trim as well.😸😻😸
"under $35,000" lol funny. Every single dealership I have called in central florida (over 20) is charging $5,000-$10,000 dealer markup if you're lucky.
@@webcomment8895 Well yeah that was my point. Dealers are asking crazy prices because they know people will pay it for these vehicles. Not me though 🤷🏻♂️
@@coreygarcia622 People are not going to pay $10K over sticker. They can ask whatever they want. Just because they ask, doesn’t mean they get it. It’s a negotiation tactic so that when they reduce the markup, the buyer feels like they got a good deal even though they still overpaid. If the markup is firm, there are better options for the marked up price.
@@webcomment8895 I personally know several people who did. This car is literally in that much demand. I know people who paid 5k over for last year's model lol, just because you can't fathom it doesn't mean it doesn't happen But at the end of the day I personally am hard agreeing with you. I would never pay msrp for a new vehicle. People that do are chumps
@@coreygarcia622 Why would you know “several people” who bought a specific year car model? I know many people and all of them have a different vehicle model purchased at different times. There are very dumb people who buy cars all the time though. There are people who pay o ver sticker for cars that are not even in short supply because they don’t understand the numbers and get bamboozled by the salesmen. I’m sure there are thousands of people who paid MSRP and more for Chevy Malibus because they didn’t understand what they were doing until it was too late.
That new Kia logo looks overstyled imo, they could’ve done better. At least it’s not just a “K” and it’s actually something creative unlike Honda and Hyundai
I would buy the highlander over this one but a fully loaded Telly is a better buy over a limited highlander. Yet you can probably get a limited for less money plus any manufacturer discount.
@@spursdynasty7378 but people don’t really get the s. I would definitely pick the telluride EX over the highlander XLE and limited. And I would take a sx prestige over the platinum highlander.
Kia did really good with the telluride, they are everywhere

Where I live- the Telluride gets a $10,000 surcharge bec everyone wants it. So it starts here in Los Angeles at $45 ooo

LED headlights should be standard on every trim level. Halogens are crap when it comes to extended road visibility.
I have a 2021 S and the halogen lights are the best and brightest I’ve ever had.
I love the 2021 Kia telluride s, it’s very nice and great price!

If you're going to buy one of these, you need the SX Prestige package. Go big!
The resale value of even a used 2020 model is high as well. Crazy.
If the Sorento comes standard with a third row, I'd like to see a Sport 2-row option for the Telluride. Not the coupe of a joke, but not everyone wants or needs the third row but would like the extra legroom.
The elimination of a third row does not increase legroom in the first and second rows.

Thanks, you too! 😁
I love this car!!!! I’m confused why the higher EX gets the smaller wheels
that is very true
Their "S" trim is supposed to be the sporty model. Think Explorer ST(21s) vs Platinum 20s. Or Volvo XC90 R-Design vs Inscription.
@@Redline.Performance0 no it doesn’t. The ex premium package give you these rims.
Still one of the best three row crossovers on sale

The interior and exterior suit very good not sure about those vertical headlights
I absolutely hate those rear turn signals at the bottom bumper should have been amber too not red too
If dealers will sell you one for sticker, around here S trims are going for 35k used.
For S with AWD without any markup and tax, its already 38K... so add the markup, tax, etc, that's like 42K the lowest.
35 if your willing to wait a year after ordering it. First off you can’t find any! And the off chance you do they’re 2-4K over msrp
pls next make a video on hyundai palisade calligraphy, plsss sir

Yea and good luck finding one under 43k for a standard they upped priced the knighfall edition to 70k
Is it common to have a stitched plastic in a car? I feel I haven't seen that before. Weird or interesting?
Be prepared also to pay dealer mark up fees above MSRP..
For a base trim, that interior is really good
It’s not base. LX is base.
