I’m on my 2nd Telluride, and I personally think that the ride and sound quietness has been slightly refined from 21 to 23. Great riding vehicle, no issues
That is a very good thing to point out Bobby!
Why have you needed to get a 2nd one?
@@snowpants2212 Because KIAs are shit cars.
@@snowpants2212he is probably leasing
I'm on my 2nd too and the HDA has improved. I love it in traffic, I just let the truck, steer, brake and accelerate in bumper to bumper traffic. It makes traffic tolerable lol
This is easily one of my favorite vehicles! Loaded with a bunch of luxury features for a reasonable price.
That is so outstanding!
The Kia dealer in my hometown tried to see me a used Kia Telluride with 6,000 miles on it for $75,000 FIRM. I laughed.
That is pure insanity!
I also tried to price one 6 months ago and out the door they wanted 69k that’s crazy !!
Sob story.
@@kenreuben6184 No sobbing, just laughing. Mind you, this is still a Kia.
@@markholle3450 well. you are still you back in 1970s. Mind you. get out of that hole. Brother.
Should have exhaust on both sides
Great minds think a like!
This is probably the best looking suv of the segment. No wonder why people love it so much.
This is so very true!
still a Kia

“In August, the companies recalled 281,000 Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride vehicles, citing fire risks related to an accessory tow hitch that may allow moisture into the harness module, causing a short circuit and potential fire, even if the vehicles are parked and turned off”
Also, it had faulty airbags and weird transmission issues in the past.
As long as all that is solved (lol), it looks pretty good.
Reminds me of a Range Rover.
I have this same exact model but black and freaking love it. It looks amazing inside and out.
My wife and I just got an EX X-Line in Wolf Grey, and honestly, for the price, it is beyond what I even expected, and I had pretty high expectations going in. The Telluride is as advertised, and feels premium at a non-premium price point. Great review as always, Joe!
Still loving you Telluride? My family is growing as well and thinking about it. Do you have other car in house?
Just picked up my 2024 Telluride SX X-Line yesterday and have put about 200 miles on it so far. It's Amazing absolutely no regrets. This vehicle is leaps and bounds better than any of the competition inside and out.
I’m about a month out, are you able to get a deal..at all? I’ve been seeing you can’t. But 🤷♂️
I have the 2024 XPro now in white with Terracotta interior and I love it. I had the wolf grey nightfall edition before getting this one I only upgraded for the gorgeous interior of the 24 model. My 24 model still has the orange daytime running lights and my trimming is black already from the manufacturer not silver 🙌🏾 so it still looks like a nightfall edition. I love Telluride's. Definitely get more bang for my bucks.
I can see why it’s popular. Good looking vehicle, nice interior. Feels like you are getting something for your $$$. Decent price ….not too crazy
You hit the nail on the head Tom.
Yes! Been waiting for this video. I just bought a 2024 SX Prestige 3 weeks ago and it's an amazing SUV.
That is so wonderful! Congrats!
The Telluride simply smokes the competition in almost every regard. I guess that's why there are so many of them on the road. WTG Kia!
I live on a gravel road…it is a definite YES for the flat black wheel well trim for me.
Love that color really pops on this telluride!
You are so very right
Telluride is definitely one the best SUV's Kia has put out.
I am so glad that you think so!
I have a 2021 Kia Telluride AWD SX Prestige with the towing package, and I really like it. I do a lot of highway driving, and I often get between 25 - 26 mpg. If I do a lot of city driving I get 21 - 23 mpg.
I was a life-long Ford guy who started paying attention to the Telluride/Palisade development a year before they were released. I’ve now owned one Palisade and I am currently on my third Telluride. This vehicle delivers in every category. Especially great for tall drivers who need extra headroom.
Nice review, we may be looking at getting one of these. We bought a Pilot 6 years ago and its had some problems... may be time for a change.
I’m gonna have to zonk it for being routinely $5-$10k above MSRP.
That is crazy Jimmy!
I like sedans over SUVs but this looks great! way better inside than the Explorer, totally agree with Joe about the tailpipes, should be on both sides, just looks better
I don’t plan on getting a new car for say two more years but I don’t miss a Raiti video. Love the content ❤️
I'd chose this over the any of its competitors...it looks better and I think it offers more for the money
I’m so glad that you like it!
What are the competitors?
@@Troy-fv9uqHonda pilot and Hyundai Palisade
Congrats on 1M subs Joe! 🎉
Thank you for taking the time to say that!
As usual Joe, another great video.
Thank you for taking the time to say that!
Quad exhaust, would be great addition, I like in dark black color for the exterior it is quite a lovely car.
Man Kia has really been stepping up their game lately! Great video as usual Joe!
This is so very true!
I think the term Kia has been "stepping up their game" is getting old. They've been consistent for some time now.
@@joestuff8exactly 💯 !!
Nice video keep up the good work my brother
You got it Marcus!
I see these and many other Kia's on the road. Shows how far they come plus they have one of the best warranties. I may out there saying this. But if Kia beefed up the alternator and suspension they could off a police model of this and probably making some money and be successful. Especially with AWD.
Joe, I agree with you that usually, the flat black looks best on the grill, but there are some vehicles with certain styling that look good with gloss black on the grill.
This may be true Mickey.
@@RaitisRides
Well, Joe, we probably don't need a special blue ribbon committee to look into and decide for us.😊
That ride has everything in it. And for that price is amazing.
I am so glad that you are thinking so!
I think for the price it should have a full panoramic sunroof. Other than that it looks really good. Very modern nice looking design almost luxurious feeling honestly.
I still got my Telluride since 2019. And never going to sell it ❤
Telluride vs mdx? Any thoughts?
Having kept both (owned Pilot) and long term Telluride rental, id say the new Pilot is hard to beat! Its a class of its own in practicality especially with kids (cubbies, cup holders, door panels etc etc), the cup holders in my pilots drivers door and passenger door are the most used feature that no other vehicle offers,
Thank you for sharing that great ownership input
Looking to get one next year. Was wondering if any Telluride owners have any issues with theirs? Or what to look out for if I do buy one.
I'm granddaughters love the third row seating.
I love the space in my Kia Telluride. I'm giving my Telluride up for the XT6 Cadillac, which is not as spacious in the inside like the Kia Telluride
I’m starting to second guess the Toyota Grand Highlander. If Kia’s top trim is $52k and Honda’s top trim is $52k, then I’m starting to think $60k for a top trim hybrid Toyota is not worth it.
Especially with how expensive everything is getting. After all the markups that Toyota is well beyond 65k. Some places are even marking up by $20k, for a Toyota!
Ooof. Anyways, GREAT REVIEW AS ALWAYS!
Pricing is getting out of control really.
Have you test drove both? And if so, how does the Grand Highlander stack up against the Telluride?
I know it's not important, but has anyone noticed as the blinkers flash the light bar of the blinker moves from bottom to top! Fantastic little light tech Kia came up with! 💡✨️
The "flat black" around the fender opening is there for when you go off road. It has over 8 inches of ground clearance so that should tell you that this vehicle is meant for that. A color matched fender opening would just get ruined if you go off road. Everything doesn't have to be color matched even if it is a higher trim. In this case, that flat black is serving a purpose.
Joe and Lori and Steve and keep up the great job and I love the video 👍
We appreciate you brother!
Just got our 2024 Telluride SX xline 2 weeks ago. Apparently they have not fixed their windshield issue. I had a 2mm chip that turned into a large crack. Not very robust.
I would 100% go with Hyundai or Kia instead of Honda. I've owned two Hondas and had transmission issues with one and the other engine issues. I now own a 2021 Santa Fe and a 2017 Sonata and no issues at all.
My favorite new Kia Telluride SUV I can buy.
I am so glad that you like this one.
I saw one at Publix yesterday in Venice, FL. It pops out. Very nice.
You are very right about that!
I am looking forward to seeing the 2024 sorento! Hope you are doing well in the hurricane!
Thanks for saying that! We are totally safe and sound.
What up Joe? Telluride is a great SUV, but prefer the aggressive bodystyle of the Honda Pilot more.
Aggressive? I don't see it with the Pilot.
Hey Tom! Thanks for making it!
@@RaitisRides ;D
It depends on the application regarding flat or gloss black but one thing I don't like about flat black is if you accidentally get car wax on it, it is hard to get off.
That is a very good point!
They're still knocking it out of the park!
You better believe it!
This may not be as important as other features, but Hyundai/Kia HDA2 is very very good. Also this model should have the remote parking feature (a bit of a gimmick, but can be useful when people park very close to your car/vice versa 😅)…
I miss the orange daytime running lamps before the refresh but even without it looks great nonetheless
Yes the absence of those Iconic amber DRLs is a bummer. Maybe they'll bring it back 🤔?
That was one of favorite touches.
Probably not
Yeah I gotta say I really like the Telluride.
I am so glad that you are digging this one.
Can you compare to pathfinder??
We need more comparison
I like my pathfinder style and interior
Let see which is better after 50 k miles
The fact that you can't get the top trim in an eight seater version is a huge knock against this car for my needs with three kids and the need to sometimes maximize cargo space by putting up the third row. Almost a fatal one. Honda having that removable middle seat is a major plus for some families.
I will always prefer the 2022 Telluride. Can’t go wrong with either one tho
Just bought a 2024 Saturday!!
That is so wonderful kevin! What color did you get?
@@RaitisRides white!!
Joe great review as always, but… i think you should start giving your opinion on which one YOU think is better once you rap up the video.
Thanks for the feedback!
I have a 2022 Telluride SXP in Black Copper, a great color that's no longer offered. In terms of exterior appearance, I have to say that the 2022 is probably peak Telluride. It was the first year with the new Kia badge (much better than the old one); it has better wheels and a better grille than preceding years; and it doesn't have the odd, fish-mouth lower grille featured on the 2023-2024. However, the interior tech upgrades are nice. The larger screens, etc., look great. But I wouldn’t even think of moving out of the 2022 until an all-new model appeared with a new engine.
I appreciate you sharing your ownership experience!
That’s what I’m talking about bro I got a 2022 s ebony black model and it still looks better than all the new models all tinted black
Got a 22 ebony black ex in canada (base model) I was sceptical about kia but now that we bought one were already looking at kia for our second car once we have our telluride paid off.
A new engine? This is one of a few V6 engines available.
Know you always zonk a rear wiper when it's not hidden under the rear spoiler. I agree, but is Lexus the only vehicle that does that? I also don't understand why they didn't put one of the exhausts on the left side. Hyundai does the same thing on the Palisade.
For me in this segment:
1. VW Atlas 2024
2. KIA Telluride 2024
Your reviews are fany and informative!
Good job Joe 👍
Thank you for letting me share the laughs and the SUVs with you!
was this the first ever "windshield wiper test" on camera???
Does it have a heads up display, how about a spare tire?
Big Zonk for the engine and power output
Trust me I know how you feel! They should have made some updates.
This car offers great value for the money
So would you recommend the Telluride or the CX-90? I see a lot of Tellurides in the area and like them, I'm just going back and forth on which one to get.
I am going CX-90!
@@RaitisRides whats the biggest reason for CX90 over Telluride?
The only thing competing with this in this segment is the Palisade. The Telluride is just an amazing vehicle for the price
Not to sure about that.
@@RaitisRides the interior is just far above everyone else Joe. It even looks better than alot of the luxury brands
A Grand Highlander has more passenger and cargo space and can be had with a hybrid powertrain that gets almost double the city MPG or a hybrid max powertrain that makes far more horsepower while still getting better mileage.
Vehicle looks nice but doesn’t look anything like a Range Rover, instrument cluster looks great. Needs to have exhaust tips on both sides. Also the engine looks like it’s sinking down in the engine bay when u popped the hood, normally engines sit up a bit higher, maybe it’s just me😂… either way another informative video 👍🏽
Big Zonk for the engine and power output. My 2014 cadenza had 291hp and was a 3.3l I think.
At least its not the horrendous Theta 2 (2.0L/2.4L) or Smartstream (2.5L/2.0L) engine.
How much power would you like it to have?
@@RaitisRides These are not underpowered by any stretch for a naturally asperated V6 ...Which is better than a turbo 4 . That is also a conservative # I'd guess another 15 h.p. or 5% easy
Alright Joe I love what KIA is doing lately
I am so glad to hear that!
Flat black preferred. A lot of SUV for $52k. Looks more up to date than a Pilot. Good job pointing out all the features.
I am so glad that I can bring all the details to you!
that’s the thing you will not find this priced at $52k anywhere it gets ridiculously marked up everywhere
@@mikebravo4545 good point. Would be interesting to see real world prices compared. It isn’t something I personally would buy so don’t follow pricing. That may eventually settle down soon.
Perfect 👊😍
I am so glad that you think so.
There's one tiny thing I wish you would mention as you're driving maybe I miss it, is the cabin noise.
This one actually seems pretty worth buying actually.
I am glad that you are digging this one.
I’d love to see a 2024 Santa Fe review…it looks like a defender now!
I will track one down for you!
What about comparing the Palisade Calligraphy /Telluride SX Prestige
That is a good one as well wendy
overall I'd prolly go Honda Pilot - simply due to history & resale values, but I dig the KIA much more in design language.
Smart way to look at it!
I bought the first Telluride when it came out in 2019. Drove it for 4 years and sold it earlier this year to CarMax and they paid off my loan and I still got a 8k check back. Resale value is fine on the Tellurides :)
@@EverythingEvoright lol people are just sheepishly stuck in their past
I have low self esteem I will deprive myself of what I really want is what I heard. That mentality kills innovation and competition.
We had 2 Pilots in a row over a 15 year period and I will tell you the last one (2015) had so many issues and the resale was just okay. My limited research shows the Telly at 47% residual after 5 years which is close to the top of the pack. So, I put my money where my mouth is and just picked up a 2024 SX SX-Pro. Time will tell if it is any good.
Interested to see your take on the mid refresh sorrento. It looks like it is going to offer a lot more than the telluride refresh (ie finger print scanner).
I will have it for you soon!
I'll stay clear away from any automobile that has fingerprint scanners.
Yay Raiti’s Rides ❤’d my comment! I’m special 😂
You are super special! I appreciate your support!
I've been shopping for one for a year looking for a white on white/grey with a bench as I'm in the video biz and have lots of gear to haul and captains chairs leave a hole in the floor when flat. Also the 20" wheel make off-roading problematic, why do people think 20" wheels are a good thing? Compared to 18" wheels they provide a worse ride, worse breaking and acceleration and lead to more flat tires. Lets talk seats- Why is it so hard to find a non black interior? Here in Texas Black int is really hot for 4-5 months a year with the outside temp over 100! Cloth would be better than the vinyl or leather offered on all but the lowest trims. Kia learn more about your customers and make cars we want.
True, almost every vehicle has a black interior, so basic looking, and like you said hot!
Agree I won’t buy anything with 20” wheels, in Colorado with snow ruts and potholes it’s a bad idea. People only think about the looks IMO.
You said smoke checks! My man!
Always like these. I see why this suv wins a lot of awards
You are so very right Ricky
I actually tried to go to Kia in Tampa to get one of these cars but I had to walk out on them because they were trying to sell me the car for over $15,000 MSRP it’s ridiculous now
Go out of state there are plenty dealerships selling at MSRP including mine
We just picked up our new SX a month ago... slots nicely between our Macan and Escalade ESV, very smooth.
That is fantastic to hear!
I would like to see dual exhaust
You have great taste!
You ain't touching one of these for $52K knowing how highly Kia dealers suddenly think of themselves over the last three years. In fact, I think I spotted an addendum sticker next to the Monroney on this very one he's reviewing.
For real....this is 60k+ OTD minimum.
I bought one for $52k 3 weeks ago (2024 SX Prestige).
Things are getting crazy out there!
@@EverythingEvoYou mind sharing where to help others get a great deal?
Just wish they had captains chairs in fromt aka ridgelune 2021
First. Can you do a review on a super duty lariat ultimate tremor and possibly some more heavy duty trucks?
I will get that together for you!
@@RaitisRides thanks Joe
If they had a hybrid Telluride, I might go take a look. Grand Highlander hybrid is what I will most likely go with. The mpg is lacking on this Kia.
4 cylinder vs 6
Best car ever I love it ❤❤
I like the glossy black.
That is great because there is plenty of it!
Na na na same for me cannot tolerate it,I’m surprised that so many cars & trucks have it now and it doesn’t bother neither the maker or buyer..other than that solid truck have been a fan since 1st gen..lately for me Toyota/ Lexus killing it and man pilot is straight fugly no matter how much mileage/ reliable it is.
IMHO
Great review as always 🙏🙏
Joe please tell me you’ll be at the us premiere of the new sonata and Elantra !?!?!?!
I will be virtually
Still driving my 2020 Telluride S AWD. It has been amazing! I thought about trading it for a.2024, but I like my 2020 too much.
Hey, Joe I am going Kia even though they have a few problems with thefts And some catching on fire.
They have fixed those Dejon.
KIA telluride doesn't catch fire. Stop listening to fake news media.
Just cant beat the value. And it looks great, at a lower price than most of the competition in its class. Does anyone think this is a better buy than the grand highlander?
I am sure there are some people out there Jay that feel that way!
Can I get it in two row seating?
Looks like you still can’t get a factory Towing Package…. Any news on availability
That is a great question!
The car looks nice but honestly Kia and Hyundai need to provide a better engine. The current V6 lacks huge when comparing Toyota/Acura/Honda. The quality is nice but the engine needs to be updated.
This is so very true!
This blows the Honda out of the water by a large margin in my opinion.
You may be right!
Nice color. What's with the shiny chrome that creeps up on the b-pillar? Weird.
It's to match the concept car that had rear coach doors
It can be darken out with a package
I guess that’s KIA trying to be stylish
Why do you want the exhaust on the driver's side? If I have one exhaust I'd want it across from me if I'm idling with the windows down.
It is at the back of the car.
This color is off da chain but I’m still not feelin the flat black also when are they gonna get rid of the back wiper & tuck it in
You have good taste!
@@RaitisRides I don’t understand y want they tuck the back wipers in
@@wardellwardtell me about it!
