For this kind of money may as well buy a 4runner. A proper offroad vehicle that will long outlive this kia. And their resale value is much stronger than kia.
@@pyronic120120for off-road sure but for most people that think about off-roading but never do. Telluride all the way. Three row, current tech and a 10yr/100k warranty…..it’s an easy choice.
I have had my 2021 Seltos SX for 3 years with 36,000 miles and it also drives flawless and solid as a rock. Interior is holding up better than any of my former vehicles. I always lease, so I often have new cars. After my 3 year lease on Ford Escape- it felt more like I had it 6 years in terms of ride quality diminishing. Ford Fusion after that and it also showed its age. In the Seltos for 4 year lease but looking to maybe turn in early for a 2023 Tucson or Sportage. Mainly just for the extra space and they are 🔥🔥🔥
I just got the 2024 telluride. So happy we went with kia. Ppl can continue to try and shame these cars cuz " it's a kia" but they have stepped their game up
The thing is the 6 cylinder kia vehicles are great. If you start getting the 2.0l or 2.4L that's where most problems occur. Even the old 2016-2021 3.3L sorentos were reliable.
@@packers12to80Well in reality it's still a kia. I am gonna say they have come a long way from the early 2000s and have improved alot. That's like saying a bmw or Mercedes is still a Bmw. I'm not hating kia or hyndai but they are still a budget brand. A kia rio sell for $18K brand new.
@ronijr4918 well that kia is ranking extremely high In its class. So just maybe ya shouldn't judge all their vehicles like their bottom budget line Rio....no?
I have a 23 Telluride X Line, bought it January 2023 for $59,844 and actually drove 7.5 hours to another state to get the color I wanted. It’s Dawning Red exterior with quilted baseball glove colored leather interior. It has all the bells and whistles. I’ve only had one recall for the parking brake, which was just a software update. I drove it from my home in Saint Simons, Georgia to Bozeman Montana four months after I purchased it and it handled beautifully. Going through South Dakota where the speed limits in some places was 85 mph, in sport mode, my Telluride handled like a rocket. My other vehicle is a bulletproof 5.7 L V8 Tundra double cab, which gets 16.2 miles per gallon. It’s not the best vehicle to drive across the country on a 3000 mile road trip. My Telluride averaged 35 miles per gallon driving across the country. The heated seats were just what was needed on cold Yellowstone nights, and the cooling feature on the seats was needed and welcomed in Las Vegas, where it was hotter than hell. I love my Telluride.
@@tommymills576 that’s the older models with an ignition key. Hyundai and Kia are installing the push button start switch to replace the key start on all models free of charge.
Owned a Sedona, a Forte, Spectra and 2 Rio's and never had any issues with any of them. Enjoy the Telluride. It's a beautiful vehicle and one of the best suv's you can buy.
I like how you had me thinking you were going to bash the Kia Telluride 😄. I was ready to hit the thumb down lol. You are absolutely right these Kia Tellurides are awesome vehicles!!
also, their 100k warranty is only for the power train. The electronics and gadgets are warrantied for less than that. And they seem to use sub par components that fail all too soon as well. So all those gadgets and gizmos might nice the first few years, but will start failing and glitching out past their warranty period.
You wouldn’t believe it. But we own a Hyundai Veracruz 2012 Limited edition. Just so you know, we used it for long drive (California to New Jersey) and 3 back to back trips to New Brunswick Canada and a lot more out of state trips. Hyundai never fails us. Ours is over 10 years old and obviously overused but this time we are ready to have another one.

I have a 2017 bmw x5 now and now we have two small kids so we will have 2 rear facing car seats for the next 3-4 years. How much space is there for that? Big difference to the people up front once you put those car seats in rear facing position in my x5. Think this telluride will really help in that area?
We took delivery of our 2023 xPro a couple months ago. Took 18 months to get it. Definitely a great SUV. I do wish they did dual exhaust and staggered wheels…but I’m getting picky 😅
After looking at almost all the 3row SUVs including the 2024 telluride, I really liked it. Nice interior. Loved the outside look. Preferred the larger sunroof in other cars instead of two sunroofs. The reason we didn’t go with it was the arm coming up from the center console. You can see it at 5:56-6:04 of the video. My husband felt like it was pushing into his leg and was uncomfortable. Also, the one we drove has an extension to the seat. If it’s not comfortable try pulling it in or putting it out. Liked it over all just wasn’t comfortable for my husband on the driver seat.

54K For My 23 Xs Pro here. Been looking for a couple of years for a car to replace My 2013 GMC Acadia which was the best car I ever had. I looked at the new and used Yukon pricing and couldn’t believe what they were asking. This Telluride has more option and styling for the Money. Love the Telluride. Black with Terracotta Interior. Beautiful
i bought my first KIA Cerato 2 Liter Engine brand new from the Dealership in Dubai in 2014 and it still runs like a top in 2024. Its now 27000 KMS (167700 Miles). still love the fuel economy.
Good to hear you still like the vehicle. We build them all day in West Point, GA. Hope you get one soon! Later in ‘25, you can trade for EV9 when it comes. Btw love the scruffy look.
Hello Jay, Last November 2022 we ordered a Telluride EX, and by the end of February, still no word on it’s build date. After watching numerous KIA Telluride comparison videos, we cancelled the EX and reordered the SX on March 3rd 2023, and it was built on April 14th, 2023. We must have gotten into just the right cycle. Bye the way, this is our 4th KIA from West Point a
Jay, this is a continuation of my last post. So you folks build get cars and it is amazing that you do all that in one plant. A few weeks ago I picked up the trailer tow kit from a KIA dealer, so in the Spring I will get it installed. Know one seems to know why the lift gate latch has to be changed
Got one about 3 months ago and love it. Stumbled on this video , I follow u on Ironman darts TH-cam page and had to do a double take when u stumbled on this video lol
Still not bigger inside, and doesn't have the HP or the room behind the 3rd row that my 2023 Traverse has. Plus it was $5000 cheaper (CDN prices). I'm happy with my decision.
My wife has a 23 Traverse Premier. I might be getting a Telluride. Space wise Traverse kills it, especially behind third row and under the cover extra space. Telluride feels more premium though with better tech and soft touch materials. 23 Traverse to me looks like a van. Now the upcoming 2024 Traverse in Z71 trim would be nice as long as it comes with the tech features i want.
@@al151 I'm not sold on a 4-banger turbo pulling such a large vehicle, I wish they left the V6, at least as an option, for the '24 Traverse. Not sure of the longevity of that engine. I'd need to drive one, of course, but I don't think I'd keep it out of the warranty period, just to be on the safe side.
We have been using Traverses for work vehicles for years now and just got a 2023 about 5 months ago. I have a 2022 Hyundai Palisade SEL and get the chance to compare these vehicles almost daily. - Comfort, noise levels, power delivery all better on the Palisade. Traverse engine is particularly more noisy and less refined. Has more peak power, but not as tractible everywhere else. - Interior design of the Traverse is still circa 2015. Terrible piano black finish, 3 different faux metal finishes, and terrible GM corporate switchgear. - Traverse automatic 9 speed transmission is not as smooth or intelligent as the Kia/Hyundai 8 speed - Safety and driver assist features on the Palisade are much more advanced than what our work vehicles have had at similar trim levels - Chevrolet Traverse reliability has been god awful for numerous years, according to Consumer Reports. Make of that what you will. I shopped the Traverse when I was buying early in 2022 and the interior of the Palisade was just a more modern space to be in. Maybe the 2024 total redesign will close the gap, but I was shopping in 2022 not 2024.
given the lack of luxury features that a traverse has compared to the telluride, of course it is going to be cheaper. almost 300 hp is plenty for an suv of its size
I have 2023 x-pro and no regrets at all. I had BMW, Infiniti, VW before. Choosing a car will depend on your personal tastes and economic circumstances, but Kia has many great options, and it is clear that it is a brand that has reflected the needs of consumers well in recent years. I am sure that if you buy a model from a premium brand, the price will be over 80k.
Bought mine April of 2023. Very few were available at that time but I saw the SX-Prestige X-Pro, all black with Camel interior, and we went down to the dealer to test drive it. What a dream to drive, handles amazingly, and there is literally nothing you could possible want that isn’t in the car at this level. It also does lumbar massage if you drive more than an hour without stopping. Scared me to death the first time it happened. Sticker was $55,365 which was steep for us, but we keep our cars for the long haul. We still have our 2011 KIA Sorento, and it is still going strong. We did also test drive the Lincoln Aviator, but for the same price point, it didn’t compare to the Telluride. The one thing that dealers were doing at that time was pricing above MSRP which was crazy and annoyed me. One dealer wanted $10k above, ours was $2500 above, but still less than the Aviator, with a much quieter and smoother ride. I can’t say enough about this car. Even at the other levels, people I know love this classy SUV. I knew we’d be keeping her, so we went all in and I’m really glad we did. I should add my husband is 6’2 and has plenty of room front and middle!
Tik tok ruined kia for me. These kids don’t even care if you can’t steal it. Bc its a Kia they are still breaking the windows. My friend has had to replace her back window 3 times already since february this year. She has the new k5. Its so sad😢
My gf has the 2023 Sportage and I have learned to like it. I am thinking of getting the Telluride and think will do great here in South Florida. Liked the review, I clicked the bell :)
I watched, commented and then subscribed in 2020 after you first reviewed the Telluride. I had just traded in my X5 for the top trim end of 2019. I don't put a lot of miles on the car...but it's been great. Have two kids and we still enjoy the vehicle. Our other vehicle is the Model X. The only downside I see in the Telluride experience is the Kia dealer... they are the achilles heel. They could've leveraged the Telluride to become a trusted and loved seller...in the end, they haven't been able to handle being the hot girl at the party. Full disclosure: I bought online and out of state. Paid msrp plus shipping.
When l have an eye on a new car l try to find all the negative reviews and comments to see if there is a common problem with the car. I just bought a 2024 X line Telluride that l have not gotten delivered yet, so l got a little bit worried when l saw the title of your video 😂 l was pleasantly surprised to watch your video. I will get my Telluride delivered after three days and l look very much forward to it. Thanks for a grest video 😂
I wouldn’t lease a car but I wouldn’t pay 54k for that Kia it should be in the high 30s low 40s not in the 50s after tax you’ll pay close to 60000. Haha
@@rjcam Not the case in our experience. We always try to have a lower mileage vehicle for traveling and also for my wife’s primary use. I currently drive as ‘my vehicle’ a 2012 Kia Sorento. Don’t assume - just ask. ✌🏽
Of course it is. It’s really odd that people buy other vehicles in the same class. There is no comparison to the Telluride. Palisade is a great vehicle, but the styling leaves much to be desired to say the least.
@@al151 That’s seems to be the usual consensus. However, the exterior of the Palisade so happens to be one of my least favorite designs. I get spooked out whenever I drive beside or in back of one because it looks just like a hearse in a funeral procession. The way they cut off the rear portion of the vehicle from the rest of the design is the largest problem. Just like the Chevy Equinox which is another very poorly designed vehicle with the same ailment.
I love the way they look and I was fully looking at one for the wife but the fire issues of the past models, cracking windshields, ripping seats, and heat issues steered me away. I will say I love that screen set up and integration to the in care entertainment. BUT 109hp less than the explorer ST. $55K for a kia? Dude I couldn't, got my Explorer ST 400HP, massaging seats, heated cooled, real leather seats not pleather and it isn't riddled with problems. I do hope that ride holds up for you, it looks very nice.

We're middle class hardworking. We went to Toyota and they wouldn't work with us at a $22,000 budget. A lot of our local dealers were trying to sell us their bottom feeder cars. Finally, we went to Kia and ended up getting a 2021(not absolutely new but semi-new), Kia Sorento. It's a very smooth ride and we got a ten year ziebart deal(probably not really a deal).

We need a minivan and being we already own a Kia Soul we went to look at a 2023 Telluride and I was amazed at how comfortable they made the 3rd row, very close to minivan space. Then opened the hood and saw "GDI" and I'm like.... Nope. No sale for me.
@@foreverbrownsfan If you know how GDI works, and this isn't news, VW and Ford have had nothing but trouble with their GDI engines for many many years, you know this is planned obsolescence and I like to keep my cars 15 years. Hell I have a 2003 Honda Odyssey with the venerable 3.5L with old school VTEC and with 180k miles on the engine if I did a tear down I'd be hard pressed to find carbon buildup anywhere. I'm not going backwards in internal combustion engineering, I like to move forwards. I'll gladly do my own oil changes, ATF changes, differential fluid changes, even my own brakes. I am not going to take apart an intake and scrape off carbon deposits off the back of intake valves. That's ridiculous. If you want one, buy one. Put your money where your mouths is, I'll see you at 70k miles. 😆
@@yatusabe2537 I would get the Highlander with the V6 if I could find one with low miles or a Pilot which is bigger and cheaper than a Passport, but if it has VCM technology I'd either pass or deactivate it. Last choice would be the Hyundai Palisade/Kia Telluride. I guess the Highlander if it's a 2024 wouldn't have the V6 so I guess I'd skip a 2024 and look for whatever year was the last year they used the V6.
Just seen a "Telluride" blowing out heavy blue smoke as it leaves a drive through, maybe call it "Tell your mechanic" instead, truly a car for people who know nothing about Quality cars, Im driving a 1988 Lincoln Cartier TC with 256,000 miles, apparently kia made these "TellyourMechanic" good enough to leave the dealer lot, and not much else.

Definitely a nice vehicle...but.... These go for up and around 55k. At that price Id rather get something much more reliable....like the Honda Pilot. Or the upcoming Land Cruiser. Hell for a bit more you can get something much better in a Lexus GX. Yes Kia/Hyundai have been doing much better with their reliability but they are still leagues behind a Toyota or a Honda. So yes this might be a decent vehicle today....how about 2 or 3 or even 5 years from now? It will be worth next to nothing, where something like a Land Cruiser of a GX will still be highly valued. So yes a nice ride....but not worth the money in the long run.

Ran this through. colorado mtn snow packed roads with stock tires without a prob. Plenty of room for ski gear for 2 people with a storage rack on top 3 to 4 people could easily travel on multiple day ski trips. My friend is 6'4" and sat in the back comfortably.

Just bought ‘23 Sorento. I’ve had it for 900 miles. Traded in 2014 bmw x3 I bought new. I love this car. It’s almost too fast. Yes, there is a lot of learning to this car. The owners manual has QR codes on every page which will play videos for you instead of hours of reading. Your relationship with your Kia will make driving more enjoyable. My list was $45,000.00. I studied twelve vehicles, got it down to four. Test drove and hands down the Sorento won.
Except they start to have serious transmission, electrical issues once they hit 55,000-65,000 miles. It’s way to common for the sorentos. And that’s right around when the warranty starts to end.

Love to know what long term experiences are with this SUV. I've seen videos from mechanics saying do not buy a used one with over 50k miles. Love to see comparisons with other makes for over 100k miles.
@TheRealCatof😂😂 that was funny, they actually last a very long time and a lot of miles if u change the oil regularly, most people wont even change it every 15,000 miles or until its completely sludged up and then complain when the motor breaks down right after the warranty runs out.
@@Trekgalaxi Nice! Buying KIA or Hyundai is a no brainer. KIA offers the best design of any car manufacturer across the board. I don’t understand why people would choose to buy other brands that look like they were built 15 years ago on the chance that they might be more reliable. Since when do people keep vehicles even close to a decade regardless. Nor would you want a boring vehicle to last that long. I mean, you may as well buy something that looks good and offers the latest tech and comfort that KIA and Hyundai have been offering. Why pay more money for less vehicle. People can be so weird.

Wife has telluride me a Durango to n go. Long story short I hate driving hers to the gas station, car wash moving it in and put the driveway. Etc etc . Midnight trim looks good buy that's as far as it goes
yes, you are right don't buy it! Yes, nice at first but long-term durability is not there if you plan to keep it for a long time.... They have so many problems with their engines. But the main reason I would do a hard pass is that Kia wants too much for it and the price GOUGING is crazy (when the truck with be worth nothing in a few years.. people fall for this and get wrapped up in bad loan/lease terms which puts many owners upside partly from the price gouging and what they are worth in a few years. if they need to trade etc. Sorry Kia does not retain value over the long term.... They were once cheaper alternatives than the competition making it an "okay" buy but step into a dealer now and you will see what I mean.... The bottom line price per long-term value is still not there with KIA/Hyundai.... oh forgot to mention good luck with dealer service if there is a problem... this is also one of the main down falls of the company
Owned the 2023 - at 12k miles. Alternator died and left family member stranded. Traded it immediately and went back to lexus. 60k - crappy dealership experience and a dead alternator at 12 k - will never buy another Kia
Things happen with all car makes. Including much more expensive premium brands. It mostly boils down to choosing the more reliable engine and transmission combinations. KIA has been just as good and often better than competitors in that regard. On top of that, they offer the best styling, comfort, tech, and upscale interiors in recent years.
@@Ricky-mo6mv Sure, but some more than others. Car and driver's 2023 Most reliable cars didnt' list a single Kia or Hyundai. If they want to be trusted for reliability they have a long ways to go.

Why a Telluride is so expensive is beyond me. Nice SUV, but I can get a Land Rover for the same price. I can sure get a much larger Hyundai Palisade and maybe a couple of used Subaru's for the same price. I'd buy one, but I ain't paying stupid KIA dealer sticker numbers.

@@hassancounseling8365 No denying the Telluride's aesthetics and creature comforts. They are gorgeous. Shopped them VERY hard when we had to replace the wife's Honda Odyssey a few months ago.

Neither has seen the shop for anything other than routine maintenance. If I was to fork out MSRP+++ for a new Telluride I would expect the same longevity for it as well. That video gave me doubts about that happening. Wasn't about to spend over 60k to find out (was looking at the SXP Xline that MSRPs around 55k plus "market adjustment" which was anywhere from 5k to 15k depending on dealer). Oh and add another grand for dealer fees to boot. No thanks. To top it off the sheer arrogance of the Kia dealerships assures that I will never step foot on a Kia lot again.

I drove it from my home in Saint Simons, Georgia to Bozeman Montana four months after I purchased it and it handled beautifully. Going through South Dakota where the speed limits in some places was 85 mph, in sport mode, my Telluride handled like a rocket. My other vehicle is a bulletproof 5.7 L V8 Tundra double cab, which gets 16.2 miles per gallon. It’s not the best vehicle to drive across the country on a 3000 mile road trip. My Telluride averaged 35 miles per gallon driving across the country. The heated seats were just what was needed on cold Yellowstone nights, and the cooling feature on the seats was needed and welcomed in Las Vegas, where it was hotter than hell. I love my Telluride.
We got our Telluride last month and no single regret! My favorite unit already! Super duper recommendable for families!
But it’s still a kia! Should get a BMW instead
Has anyone tried to steal it yet
@@tommymills576 that’s the older models with an ignition key. Hyundai and Kia are installing the push button start switch to replace the key start on all models free of charge.
you should now ,,,,recall 430K Telluride due to Rollaway issue! Good luck!
Owned a Sedona, a Forte, Spectra and 2 Rio's and never had any issues with any of them. Enjoy the Telluride. It's a beautiful vehicle and one of the best suv's you can buy.
I like how you had me thinking you were going to bash the Kia Telluride 😄. I was ready to hit the thumb down lol. You are absolutely right these Kia Tellurides are awesome vehicles!!
KIA tricks the consumer with the 100k warranty and decent car designs. but the engines have excess metal shavings inside that leads to failure
also, their 100k warranty is only for the power train. The electronics and gadgets are warrantied for less than that. And they seem to use sub par components that fail all too soon as well. So all those gadgets and gizmos might nice the first few years, but will start failing and glitching out past their warranty period.
You wouldn’t believe it. But we own a Hyundai Veracruz 2012 Limited edition. Just so you know, we used it for long drive (California to New Jersey) and 3 back to back trips to New Brunswick Canada and a lot more out of state trips. Hyundai never fails us. Ours is over 10 years old and obviously overused but this time we are ready to have another one.

I have a 2017 bmw x5 now and now we have two small kids so we will have 2 rear facing car seats for the next 3-4 years. How much space is there for that? Big difference to the people up front once you put those car seats in rear facing position in my x5. Think this telluride will really help in that area?
Definitely will make a big difference there is a ton of room for reverse facing car seats
I traded my 2021 Nightfall for a 23 SX Prestige and love it. Love the new infotainment center.
Would You Recomend this over the New Highlander Hybrid? Especially since Toyota has a History of being more Reliable.
I would not. Oil consumption in Telluride is already a problem with mine - yet only 30K miles. Buy Honda or Toyota instead
We took delivery of our 2023 xPro a couple months ago. Took 18 months to get it. Definitely a great SUV. I do wish they did dual exhaust and staggered wheels…but I’m getting picky 😅
We've wished the dual exhaust since the 2020 model. And 4yrs still no dual exhaust
My wife's on her 2nd, about to get a third and we have had zero issues or complaints
Still no complaints?getting ready to buy a 2025.
Dude. You put out a great video but don’t mention any specs on gas mileage?? Or, hear me out, HOW DOES IT DRIVE??!
After looking at almost all the 3row SUVs including the 2024 telluride, I really liked it. Nice interior. Loved the outside look. Preferred the larger sunroof in other cars instead of two sunroofs. The reason we didn’t go with it was the arm coming up from the center console. You can see it at 5:56-6:04 of the video. My husband felt like it was pushing into his leg and was uncomfortable. Also, the one we drove has an extension to the seat. If it’s not comfortable try pulling it in or putting it out. Liked it over all just wasn’t comfortable for my husband on the driver seat.

54K For My 23 Xs Pro here. Been looking for a couple of years for a car to replace My 2013 GMC Acadia which was the best car I ever had. I looked at the new and used Yukon pricing and couldn’t believe what they were asking. This Telluride has more option and styling for the Money. Love the Telluride. Black with Terracotta Interior. Beautiful
i bought my first KIA Cerato 2 Liter Engine brand new from the Dealership in Dubai in 2014 and it still runs like a top in 2024. Its now 27000 KMS (167700 Miles). still love the fuel economy.
Good to hear you still like the vehicle. We build them all day in West Point, GA. Hope you get one soon! Later in ‘25, you can trade for EV9 when it comes. Btw love the scruffy look.
Hello Jay,
Last November 2022 we ordered a Telluride EX, and by the end of February, still no word on it’s build date. After watching numerous KIA Telluride comparison videos, we cancelled the EX and reordered the SX on March 3rd 2023, and it was built on April 14th, 2023. We must have gotten into just the right cycle. Bye the way, this is our 4th KIA from West Point a
Jay, this is a continuation of my last post.
So you folks build get cars and it is amazing that you do all that in one plant.
A few weeks ago I picked up the trailer tow kit from a KIA dealer, so in the Spring I will get it installed. Know one seems to know why the lift gate latch has to be changed
Sorry, to big fingers. If you work at the plant, pass the word, thanks for building such nice vehicles.
Dave, Syracuse, NY
@@dw.7655maybe due to the recall about wires. I don’t know for sure.
@@dw.7655I will. Thank you for the support. I’m from NY & lived in Syracuse back in the day.
Got one about 3 months ago and love it. Stumbled on this video , I follow u on Ironman darts TH-cam page and had to do a double take when u stumbled on this video lol
Bought a brand new 2020 Kia Telluride EX. Still have it and absolutely love it.
Still not bigger inside, and doesn't have the HP or the room behind the 3rd row that my 2023 Traverse has. Plus it was $5000 cheaper (CDN prices). I'm happy with my decision.
Who wants a freakin' Chevy?
My wife has a 23 Traverse Premier. I might be getting a Telluride. Space wise Traverse kills it, especially behind third row and under the cover extra space. Telluride feels more premium though with better tech and soft touch materials. 23 Traverse to me looks like a van. Now the upcoming 2024 Traverse in Z71 trim would be nice as long as it comes with the tech features i want.
@@al151 I'm not sold on a 4-banger turbo pulling such a large vehicle, I wish they left the V6, at least as an option, for the '24 Traverse. Not sure of the longevity of that engine. I'd need to drive one, of course, but I don't think I'd keep it out of the warranty period, just to be on the safe side.
We have been using Traverses for work vehicles for years now and just got a 2023 about 5 months ago. I have a 2022 Hyundai Palisade SEL and get the chance to compare these vehicles almost daily.
- Comfort, noise levels, power delivery all better on the Palisade. Traverse engine is particularly more noisy and less refined. Has more peak power, but not as tractible everywhere else.
- Interior design of the Traverse is still circa 2015. Terrible piano black finish, 3 different faux metal finishes, and terrible GM corporate switchgear.
- Traverse automatic 9 speed transmission is not as smooth or intelligent as the Kia/Hyundai 8 speed
- Safety and driver assist features on the Palisade are much more advanced than what our work vehicles have had at similar trim levels
- Chevrolet Traverse reliability has been god awful for numerous years, according to Consumer Reports. Make of that what you will.
I shopped the Traverse when I was buying early in 2022 and the interior of the Palisade was just a more modern space to be in. Maybe the 2024 total redesign will close the gap, but I was shopping in 2022 not 2024.
given the lack of luxury features that a traverse has compared to the telluride, of course it is going to be cheaper. almost 300 hp is plenty for an suv of its size
I have 2023 x-pro and no regrets at all. I had BMW, Infiniti, VW before.
Choosing a car will depend on your personal tastes and economic circumstances, but Kia has many great options, and it is clear that it is a brand that has reflected the needs of consumers well in recent years. I am sure that if you buy a model from a premium brand, the price will be over 80k.

Bought mine April of 2023. Very few were available at that time but I saw the SX-Prestige X-Pro, all black with Camel interior, and we went down to the dealer to test drive it. What a dream to drive, handles amazingly, and there is literally nothing you could possible want that isn’t in the car at this level. It also does lumbar massage if you drive more than an hour without stopping. Scared me to death the first time it happened. Sticker was $55,365 which was steep for us, but we keep our cars for the long haul. We still have our 2011 KIA Sorento, and it is still going strong. We did also test drive the Lincoln Aviator, but for the same price point, it didn’t compare to the Telluride. The one thing that dealers were doing at that time was pricing above MSRP which was crazy and annoyed me. One dealer wanted $10k above, ours was $2500 above, but still less than the Aviator, with a much quieter and smoother ride.
I can’t say enough about this car. Even at the other levels, people I know love this classy SUV. I knew we’d be keeping her, so we went all in and I’m really glad we did.
I should add my husband is 6’2 and has plenty of room front and middle!
Tik tok ruined kia for me. These kids don’t even care if you can’t steal it. Bc its a Kia they are still breaking the windows. My friend has had to replace her back window 3 times already since february this year. She has the new k5. Its so sad😢
Tik Tok should be at fault for that but I feel you.
My gf has the 2023 Sportage and I have learned to like it. I am thinking of getting the Telluride and think will do great here in South Florida. Liked the review, I clicked the bell :)
Telluride is a good-looking SUV inside and outside.
I say I settled for the 2023 Hyundai Palisade, but they are both amazing vehicles. I have a 2021 Telluride as well.
I watched, commented and then subscribed in 2020 after you first reviewed the Telluride. I had just traded in my X5 for the top trim end of 2019. I don't put a lot of miles on the car...but it's been great. Have two kids and we still enjoy the vehicle. Our other vehicle is the Model X. The only downside I see in the Telluride experience is the Kia dealer... they are the achilles heel. They could've leveraged the Telluride to become a trusted and loved seller...in the end, they haven't been able to handle being the hot girl at the party.
Full disclosure: I bought online and out of state. Paid msrp plus shipping.
When l have an eye on a new car l try to find all the negative reviews and comments to see if there is a common problem with the car. I just bought a 2024 X line Telluride that l have not gotten delivered yet, so l got a little bit worried when l saw the title of your video 😂 l was pleasantly surprised to watch your video. I will get my Telluride delivered after three days and l look very much forward to it. Thanks for a grest video 😂
With these markups and high interest rates, naw. Unless you have $54k cash sitting in your pocket.
I did and I snatched it!

Well I bought the 2023 SX model and glad I did. Best SUV I've owned. JMO
I bought the first one out,and love it. Four friends and I do a lot of traveling in it. We are from age 63 to 74 and we have never had a problem.
On my 2nd Telluride, no issues no complaints.

Doesnt sound like they last very long if youve had 5 in 15 years
@@rjcam they probably lease…
@@rjcam Not the case in our experience. We always try to have a lower mileage vehicle for traveling and also for my wife’s primary use. I currently drive as ‘my vehicle’ a 2012 Kia Sorento. Don’t assume - just ask. ✌🏽
@@brittoncoil2518 No, just an average of new purchase every 6 years per driver, (if you factor in two drivers owning 5 total vehicles).
I'm currently in a dispute with Kia. The audacity they have, to tell me the problem is due to lack of maintenance, is disgusting.
I just got the fully loaded one and is amazing
Of course it is. It’s really odd that people buy other vehicles in the same class. There is no comparison to the Telluride. Palisade is a great vehicle, but the styling leaves much to be desired to say the least.
@@Ricky-mo6mvPalisade has wind noise issue but interior is more luxurious
@@al151 That’s seems to be the usual consensus. However, the exterior of the Palisade so happens to be one of my least favorite designs. I get spooked out whenever I drive beside or in back of one because it looks just like a hearse in a funeral procession.
The way they cut off the rear portion of the vehicle from the rest of the design is the largest problem. Just like the Chevy Equinox which is another very poorly designed vehicle with the same ailment.
I love the way they look and I was fully looking at one for the wife but the fire issues of the past models, cracking windshields, ripping seats, and heat issues steered me away. I will say I love that screen set up and integration to the in care entertainment.
BUT 109hp less than the explorer ST. $55K for a kia? Dude I couldn't, got my Explorer ST 400HP, massaging seats, heated cooled, real leather seats not pleather and it isn't riddled with problems. I do hope that ride holds up for you, it looks very nice.

We're middle class hardworking. We went to Toyota and they wouldn't work with us at a $22,000 budget. A lot of our local dealers were trying to sell us their bottom feeder cars. Finally, we went to Kia and ended up getting a 2021(not absolutely new but semi-new), Kia Sorento. It's a very smooth ride and we got a ten year ziebart deal(probably not really a deal).

We need a minivan and being we already own a Kia Soul we went to look at a 2023 Telluride and I was amazed at how comfortable they made the 3rd row, very close to minivan space. Then opened the hood and saw "GDI" and I'm like.... Nope. No sale for me.
Why did GDI freak you out?
@@foreverbrownsfan If you know how GDI works, and this isn't news, VW and Ford have had nothing but trouble with their GDI engines for many many years, you know this is planned obsolescence and I like to keep my cars 15 years. Hell I have a 2003 Honda Odyssey with the venerable 3.5L with old school VTEC and with 180k miles on the engine if I did a tear down I'd be hard pressed to find carbon buildup anywhere. I'm not going backwards in internal combustion engineering, I like to move forwards. I'll gladly do my own oil changes, ATF changes, differential fluid changes, even my own brakes. I am not going to take apart an intake and scrape off carbon deposits off the back of intake valves. That's ridiculous. If you want one, buy one. Put your money where your mouths is, I'll see you at 70k miles. 😆
@@justacinnamonbun8658I can vouch for this, I have a Passat with a TSI (GDI and turbo) engine and it’s already having longstanding issues at 50k miles
@@justacinnamonbun8658What 2024 suv would you recommend if your choices were a Passport, Palisade or Highlander?
@@yatusabe2537 I would get the Highlander with the V6 if I could find one with low miles or a Pilot which is bigger and cheaper than a Passport, but if it has VCM technology I'd either pass or deactivate it. Last choice would be the Hyundai Palisade/Kia Telluride. I guess the Highlander if it's a 2024 wouldn't have the V6 so I guess I'd skip a 2024 and look for whatever year was the last year they used the V6.
Just seen a "Telluride" blowing out heavy blue smoke as it leaves a drive through, maybe call it "Tell your mechanic" instead, truly a car for people who know nothing about Quality cars, Im driving a 1988 Lincoln Cartier TC with 256,000 miles, apparently kia made these "TellyourMechanic" good enough to leave the dealer lot, and not much else.

Kia is an excellent brand. Don't mock it if you don't know what you're talking about. I've been buying a Kia for over 20 years.
Definitely a nice vehicle...but....
These go for up and around 55k. At that price Id rather get something much more reliable....like the Honda Pilot. Or the upcoming Land Cruiser. Hell for a bit more you can get something much better in a Lexus GX.
Yes Kia/Hyundai have been doing much better with their reliability but they are still leagues behind a Toyota or a Honda. So yes this might be a decent vehicle today....how about 2 or 3 or even 5 years from now? It will be worth next to nothing, where something like a Land Cruiser of a GX will still be highly valued.
So yes a nice ride....but not worth the money in the long run.

yes, you are right don't buy it! Yes, nice at first but long-term durability is not there if you plan to keep it for a long time.... They have so many problems with their engines. But the main reason I would do a hard pass is that Kia wants too much for it and the price GOUGING is crazy (when the truck with be worth nothing in a few years.. people fall for this and get wrapped up in bad loan/lease terms which puts many owners upside partly from the price gouging and what they are worth in a few years. if they need to trade etc. Sorry Kia does not retain value over the long term.... They were once cheaper alternatives than the competition making it an "okay" buy but step into a dealer now and you will see what I mean.... The bottom line price per long-term value is still not there with KIA/Hyundai.... oh forgot to mention good luck with dealer service if there is a problem... this is also one of the main down falls of the company
Where did you buy your window side shades?
Those are standard on many models.
Owned the 2023 - at 12k miles. Alternator died and left family member stranded. Traded it immediately and went back to lexus. 60k - crappy dealership experience and a dead alternator at 12 k - will never buy another Kia
Bro… it’s an alternator…. Change it… wtf
It's crazy to think people would overpay for a KIA. Wait a few years until the recalls and lawsuits I guess.
Things happen with all car makes. Including much more expensive premium brands. It mostly boils down to choosing the more reliable engine and transmission combinations. KIA has been just as good and often better than competitors in that regard. On top of that, they offer the best styling, comfort, tech, and upscale interiors in recent years.
At least I don’t drive a Chevy coupe 😂😂😂
Yeah, because it makes so much more sense to overpay for another brand that looks like it was made 10 years ago.
@@Ricky-mo6mv Sure, but some more than others. Car and driver's 2023 Most reliable cars didnt' list a single Kia or Hyundai. If they want to be trusted for reliability they have a long ways to go. That they don't seem to be anywhere near yet. 55k? regardless of trim level I'd say these are still at least 15k too high. For that kind of money just go get a 4runner.
@@pyronic120120 I’m not going to say the 4-Runner isn’t a good choice, but I just couldn’t do it personally. The exterior and interior styling would bore me to death. It drives me crazy to make payments on a vehicle that doesn’t excite me.
Keep that same energy when that GDI engine carbons up and fails on your way to work in the middle of the night and Kia wont replace it because you had 135k miles.

Just bought a new 2023 limited, pick it up tomorrow. 200,000 km warranty that just can't be beat
Does it come with a fire extinguisher?
Why a Telluride is so expensive is beyond me. Nice SUV, but I can get a Land Rover for the same price. I can sure get a much larger Hyundai Palisade and maybe a couple of used Subaru's for the same price. I'd buy one, but I ain't paying stupid KIA dealer sticker numbers.

I was about to cancel my contract😅😅
For that price the engine will still blow at 60-80k miles. Welcome tp Kia and Hyundai.
Getting rid of my 2020 next year, hope I make it through the year!
Why would the engine blow at 60k? Any engine would blow if you drive like a blonde American woman anyways.
The fact that a KIA is selling over MSRP should be enough of a red flag in itself…

@@chih6654 Kia Hyundai and Genesis are the most in demand Cars right now, that's a fact
@@nathanmjackson1210 People enjoy vehicles that are actually attractive. Who wants to pay for any vehicle only to get it home and not be excited when you look at it and enjoy the interior tech as well as comfort.
Car Care Nut's dissection of the Palisade's underpinnings scared me off the Telluride/Palisade. That and having to fork over 60k+ for one. Not happening just on general principle.
That TOYOTA GUY just likes toyota's, I believe he will choose a Toyota camry over a brand new Mercedes Benz S class 😅
@@hassancounseling8365while he is biased for Toyotas I’ve seen him not complain much over other makes like Honda, Mazda, VW, etc
@@hassancounseling8365 No denying the Telluride's aesthetics and creature comforts. They are gorgeous. Shopped them VERY hard when we had to replace the wife's Honda Odyssey a few months ago. We keep our vehicles a minimum of 10 years. My driver is a 2015 4Runner LTD bought new that now has 155k miles on it. I bought my son a new 2017 Tacoma that has currently 116k miles on it. Neither has seen the shop for anything other than routine maintenance. If I was to fork out MSRP+++ for a new Telluride I would expect the same longevity for it as well. That video gave me doubts about that happening. Wasn't about to spend over 60k to find out (was looking at the SXP Xline that MSRPs around 55k plus "market adjustment" which was anywhere from 5k to 15k depending on dealer). Oh and add another grand for dealer fees to boot. No thanks. To top it off the sheer arrogance of the Kia dealerships assures that I will never step foot on a Kia lot again.

Got the 2024 model in my garage right now. It’s the wife’s

I'm getting one soon.
Kia is only competing with its cousin hyundai ...the new santa fe is out of this world
Have had a 22 Santa Fe Calligraphy for almost 2 years and love it. Sometimes I look around inside and feel like I’m in a much more expensive brand. Plus, the power is awesome.
I saw the title and was like aww man come on
Then i started to watch and was like ah ok there we go😅
