“Sampling the Latest Automotive Delicacies!” - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I’ve had my 2023 SX Prestige for a month now & am loving it! Still no traditional dual exhaust for 2024 & they stuck with those hideous wheels? That alone pushed me to upgrade to the SX. I get comments all the time on the sporty wheels on my new SX which I got for under the $53k sticker because I shopped around. Good luck getting a deal on the 2024 models! I should mention I swore I’d never spend over $50k for a KIA but they hold their value better than any car out there. I got $34k for my 2020 S that I bought new for $35k 3 years ago. A better investment than my previous 4Runner or Highlanders by far. Toyotas are everywhere but if you see a Telluride on a lot don’t wait to go back because it will be gone. Even my 2020 was sold less than 24 hours after I traded it in.
we went through an unusual financial period of time, the last few years. It will not happen again, and with competition, your Kia will take a nosedive in value. Be thankful for the first one holding its value.
That's a one time thing, buddy. Inflation like we haven't seen in a very very long time. Pretty much all used cars held their values, not just kia
@@eugenepark correct! Even my 2000 Suburban with only 117,000 miles, is still insanely expensive and I have rejected all offers.
Nice review but please do the third row review justice by properly adjusting the second row! No one would have it reclined and slid that far back when the second row has so much leg room to spare.
Also if the 3rd row reclines as well.
Agreed! I've seen other reviews with the second row all the way back, why?
I would really love if they upgrade the exhaust system to dual...it would look so much cooler
I have a 2024 EX Telluride - I want to know if it has dome lights in back, I see lights- but do not know how to turn them on?
Thank you all so much for the review, the information provided helped my family make a decision on this purchase of a 2024 Telluride at Car Town Kia USA.
Glad we could help out! Congrats on your new Telluride!
As expected, another great review! Those coupons are getting expensive I see!!! And yes Mason, I liked your quip on the rear seats 👍👍
Thanks! Yeah sometimes even the coupons aren't good deals anymore 😅
I love your videos!! Random question, but do you post your spreadsheets with comparisons anywhere? The sound check is my favorite and I would love to see that and any more you have!
Thanks, we just now started doing that actually! There is a new section on our website (www.carconfections.com) with sound level readings by segment in a chart 👍
Ambers are back but they gotta bring back the square ambers
Thanks for this guys. My sister has a 2021 Palisade and as a Ford owner, I found it very impressive and comfortable over a 2000 mile round trip - all highway. The MPG at 73 mph, again, all highway w/cruise control was just over 30mpg! For a 4400lb. vehicle with nearly 300hp, that sure is impressive! The 'self driving' feature was used throughout and I found it fun and very trustworthy. Just have to be ready for the brakes to auto engage should someone make a quick lane change in front of you!
One last note, I saw that you had hearing aids and I wondered for such a young guy why you have them. Thanks again for the review. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the review! He has a condition abbreviated SSHL, which can happen suddenly to anyone at any age
Was that 30 mpg all downhill and with a tailwind? 🤣 I have no doubt a new vehicle is going to drive and ride very well. Even a Ford, Kia or Hyundai. The real contenders show what they’re made of after 100,000 miles. We can have a real discussion than! But I forgot though, that’s why Kia and Hyundai have a 10 year warranty. Funny though I wonder why no other auto manufacturer does that?? 🤔
This dash makes the pilot look two decades old
It’s not just about looks. The reliability doesn’t compare to the Honda Pilot. My wife has a 2014 (second gen). Has 230,000 miles and still going strong. Normal maintenance. Oil, spark plugs, battery, brakes, tires and timing belt. No other issues at all.
@@Draftman81Kia has 100k Mike warranty. Most people will lease these or trade in before warranty ends.
I’m very disappointed in new Honda Pilot. Feels cheap inside. Plus I hate the half digital dash in Trailsport. They had a shortage on digital dash.
Plus they got rid of Vtec.
@@ryanb8736 Possibly. But these are family vehicles. People with kids will not be leasing. They’ll want to travel. And not be stuck to 15-20 thousand mile limit per year. So they will opt for a standard loan.
@@ryanb8736you don't need VTEC on a DOHC engine, which is what the new 3.5 is.
Another video once pointed out the brushed silver “lips/mouth” of the front bumper and I can’t unsee it now.
Yes I always love the new telluride. Finally the ambers are back which I wanted the most. Keep up the good work.
@brianeugenelee Exactly!!!!!
Any word on trailer hitches for the ‘24 models?
Still the number 1 suv in its class along w the palisade. Only the pilot and cx90 rank second place
I thought the Grand Cherokee won for 2023
@@rjs9006 haha- Jeep is an accident waiting to happen!
number 1 korean twins then grand highlander, cx90, pilot, and regular highlander
@@huanronghu4432 no grand highlander ranks towards the bottom barely edging out the Chevy traverse
No love for pathfinder?
It's inexcusable to have no wireless CarPlay or Android Auto option in 2024, much less in my 2023 X-Pro, or in the last few years for crying out loud. Most companies have had this for years, and this car is $50K+. I bought an adapter and it mostly works but there are a few areas where it consistently lags out and freezes up, like near the fire station I pass every day, probably due to Kia not shielding the car for wireless interference properly on the same spectrum that these technologies use.
A Kia will always be a kia
I like the signature warranty would like to see all automotive manufacturers have something like this.
it will need it. Because it is a Kia!
What is it? I generally don't believe in warranties since most companies look for a way out to honor them.
@@gosman949 That's for sure.. 😅
OMG Since 12 & 16 that’s amazing! Now I know why your reviews are so perfect! Thanks for all you do!
That's very nice of you to say! Thanks 😁
I’m starting to love these.
This particular power train is the most reliable engine that Kia/Hyundai makes.
And also the least fuel efficient. I can get 20mpg with the 5.7L V8 in my '23 Jeep Grand Cherokee L.
@@mowcowbell I agree… I get the 23 Mpg in my 5.7 Hemi Challenger
test drove the kia telluride along with toyota highlander and mazda cx-90 here recently. There really is no comparison in my mind for any other SUV's to the '24 telluride. So many more standard features and much better interior and exterior design compared to most. I did like the mazda cx-90 seats the best of the 3 and it accelerated more quickly as well but telluride wasn't that far behind. Feels much bigger on the inside especially over the CX-90. Overall, from features, styles, color options, price, warranty, and other details, the '24 telluride from all the due diligence i've been doing cannot be beat. This is definitely the next SUV i'm going to be purchasing as i look to upgrade from my current Mazda CX-5.
Just picked up my brand new 2024 Telluride SX today and it is AMAZING!!!!!!
Congrats!
I just got the 2024 SX last week as well and I love it!
Nice review keep up the good work fellas
Thanks, will do!
Beautiful SUV .
Does Kia still offer 10 years or 100,000 miles on power train warranty for the Telluride ?
This was an easy fix for Kia since the DRL/turn signals were already on a switchback circuit. And these still aren't as iconic as the "ring". But the change is welcome since this is a Telluride trademark. That said, this still remains one of the best bangs for buck of any SUV. The changes for 2023 addressed most of what was missed on the intro models, and the DRL update proves Kia is listening to their customers(most automakers dont change things so fast).
The EX is definitely the sweet spot of the line-up, but the 😊wheels are still...ahem, hideous. Cmon Kia, you guys had a HIT with the 20-22 model and the classy-ness it had.
The wheel design is subjective. I like them.
iconic 🤣🤣🤣
Amber is stupid.

Mason goes off to get married and has already started brushing up on his "dad jokes".😂
😂
Definitely one of the best SUVs in the market
Awesome vehicle. I have the 1st 3.8 in 2006 azera. Good feeling engine
Hey, Needed an advice. Should I go for Kia Telluride or Toyota Grand highlander or Hyundai Palisade ?
Feel like the interiors of the others leave something to be desired. They are also louder in the interior compared to the telluride.
Your reviews are the best. Keep up the good work!
Much appreciated! We will!
@@CarConfectionshi is this suv the same with the hyundai palisade they look the same and are they fuel efficient suv
I have the same one. 2023 White EX. This is my first time seeing the 2024 white with Amber DRLs and I actually like the white better. I was a fan of the amber Halo, but not a fan of the amber strips.
I prefer the white DRL that turn amber for the blinker. Nevertheless, im happy that everyone is excited to see the amber DRLs return.
It was such a unique look on the road with the Amber DRLs.
of course you have to like the 2023! You bought one. Everyone justifies their purchases.
@@gosman949 I don't have a telluride and i agree. The squarish amber DRL's were unique and looked way better than the strips. I don't think it's enough amber to make a real difference style wise so I'd keep them white.
I like white better. It seems more sophisticated that it turns yellow for blinker.
As much as I love the old amber lights in the 2022, I think you're right about the white ones on the 2023 looking better.
Love your reviews!!!
Thank you!
Really enjoyed this video. Would love to see a comparison between this and the new redesigned Honda Pilot.
Thank you! We will note that suggestion!
Great review as always!😸
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful car, inside and out. Love the V6 engine and space! But, disappointed with the lack of a hybrid, lack of power folding rear seat, lack of powered steering column. Of course, reliability is always a question.
@joefriday6324 I thing the newest ones are rated very well, but look at that very same source (Consumer Reports) for 5 year old vehicles - not so good. That's why reliability is a question.
It has a ten year warranty it’s fine
@@Sumodeadliftsarefake69 and will be needing every bit of it.. and you'll be without a vehicle during the repair process... i'm sour cuz i had a bad experience with mine..
I'm thinking of getting new 24' Kia Telluride.
That middle bench-- can you customize configuration by removing one or both seats from the vehicle?
None of the seats are removable but they do fold down
waiting for your 2024 Atlas review :)
I been randomly saying hello TH-cam around the house and my wife is like what are you doing lol
😂😂
A co-worker bought the first year Telluride at a $10,000.00 Mark-up over MSRP, much to my suggestion to wait until prices normalize. He bought it anyway, and now he is buried and wants out.
Kia nailed it once again!
I like it! 😎
We have the EX and while it’s a nice suv I wish we had better speakers, it sounds ok
Now my SUV to buy!
It must be incredible. My Kia dealer has a $20K premium on top of the $49K sticker. Apparently there are a LOT of suckers in my town to pay that much for a car.
Well people need to travel to big cities to get one. Always at or below msrp due to lots filling up
Thank goodness they brought back the ambers. They looked amazing on the original and I have no idea why they removed them on the last gen. Let's just hope this time around these Kias don't catch fire in peoples garages
Warns people of potential fire lol
Our 09 Borrego has a power adjustment steering wheel. Odd omission on Kia’s part.
It saves a bit of money and complexity for something that almost no one needs
2:10 The Telluride and Sorento have too many trims after they added the X-Line and X-Pro and just causes confusion for consumers. I'd venture to guess that 90+% of Tellurides will never be taken off road so those X-Line/X-Pro options aren't necessary. 4:16 I agree that they need to have one exhaust on each side for symmetry like Toyota has been doing for several years. Kias having dual exhaust only on one side with these nice designs has always annoyed me. It seems like a cost saving measure so they only need to install one muffler.
why is the grille so open?...rocks hitting the rad and condenser gonna be a common problem
Thanks for the first 2024 Telluride review on TH-cam! Question: how much better is Highway Driving Assist 2.0 vs the current 1.5? Does it keep the vehicle stay centered even more competantly? Is it worth the upgrade? Thanks!
You're welcome! HDA 2.0 definitely works more seamlessly and has a few nice upgrades but it's not a huge departure from v1.0. One of the main enhancements is auto lane change but considering you have to keep your hands on the steering wheel, it's of limited use
@CarConfections thanks for the clarification! Yes, the auto lane change would be nice-- but if HDA2's lane centering is not that different with HDA1.5, will stay with HDA1.5 until HDA3 or the next evolution of KIA's ADAS system gets released. Thanks!
I just drive 450 miles from Cleveland to philly last night. I also own a Tesla and HDA2.0 is the best non-subscription self driving tech on the market. Holy shit is it nice on a long trip. So competent, I barely did anything the entire Time
@MrNoahJ76 wow thanks for the insight! Will have to check out HDA 2.0 for an extended test drive. Which system do you prefer? HDA 2.0 or autopilot? Does the Tesla allow lane centering to be turned on even without adaptive cruise? (I do enjoy that KIA is one of the few brands that allows this)
I am considering a model Y. Also, I was reading that the upcoming KIA EV9 will have some brand new semi-autonomous system! Will be interesting to see how it performs!
I have a Kia K-5 with HDA 1, and my partner has a Hyundai Elantra where HDA 2 was turned on using a scan tool, and the Elantra’s ability to lane center is pretty substantially better. We have taken road trips in both and both will do mostly straight highway no problem, but the K-5 struggles with winding roads and the Elantra does them no problem. I think it’s worth it if you’re someone who would use it a lot (I don’t but my partner does)
I still think 2022 dark moss ex night fall edition looking best so far
I won’t buy a vehicle that is marked up because of popularity. I only buy lower trims which are really hard to find now.
I wonder what the decibel reading on a model without a moon roof would be.
Yay! Amber DRLs 🎉🎉🎉
Wow you guys were like the 1st on youtube to review a 2024!
so if you order one today. will it be a 2024? They don't even have on their website.
@@gosman949 I’ve heard some people who have been waiting orders has changed to a 2024
@@ChrisCarCollection the 2023s should go on sale! haha but there is a sucker in every crowd that will buy at MSRP!
Did they fix their fire hazard issues??? Scared to buy Kia or Huyndai !
I’m surprised the rear wiper isn’t tucked away
Needs dual exhaust tips..
No hybrid is a deal breaker.
No wireless CarPlay 🤔
The original rectangular circle DRL design looks better than the new design
And why, pray tell, can I not option a *bench* seat into the top SX trim? Kia is hardly alone in doing this, so come on guys! Be different and give us folks who want this a break!
The rims can make or break a vehicle. I don’t like those rims at all. There are so many people upside down on these Tellurides from when they were selling these 15k to 20k over msrp
Is this FOR SURE a 2024 model ?? Can you show the sticker? I thought they wouldn't be released till end of summer/fall.
Yes, they're at dealership lots right now! You might be able to see the sticker at the pricing section
I hate the new update to the bumpers especially on the white Telly it looked so much better before and in black I hope they bring it back
SX trim is the best value trim imo. It has every feature you would need in a family suv, while the sx prestige is just over the top.
Too bad the markup on these things are completely outrageous…I refuse to pay anything above MSRP. Also the used market for these are pretty wild too. Shame cause I wouldn’t mind buying one when my CX-9 lease is up next August.
That single headlight update was the one thing I really hated about the 2023s. I have a 2022 SXPNF and LOVE the amber DRLs. So glad they brought it back. Every time I see a 2023 on the road (which is still somewhat rare due to the wait) I see their blinkers on and thought wow, it would look so much better if that was the main color. Well bravo KIA. You listened.
Using amber is stupid.
dude.. I saw a black 24 x line with the kia logo and telluride blacked out on the road the other day.. with the ambers it looks amazing
Amber lights not working. Much better in the rectangle form
The way I screamed when I read "Ambers are back" only to be disappointed when they got to the back of the car
Can you compare it to the Audi q7? I am between the 2…
So i got the 2024 S cause of you guys talking about the amber light change cause i was disappointed with removing the square light. I had the 2020 EX and this S HDA is much better. There are a few changes i like more than the 2020 EX but don't want to send a longer message.
I love the 2024 telluride from Kai
I really like your reviews toy two do a great job. I think you can stop saying signature sound test, it's just silly.😆
Glad you like them!
No hybrid?
2021 best Telluride so far
negative. It gets better with each year!
@@gosman949 2022 has a host of problems the 21's didn't have - the 20's had something wrong with the foam seat smelling like FISH! Which is probably fiberglass material - the 23's lost to the Grand Cherokee according to CR. Don't know about the 24's. I'm I hope they're ok because I'm tired of my 21 SX White with Black interior Nightshade prestige edition. For sale if anyone is interested 35K miles. Mint condition non smoker. Pristine. 50K
I drive x5 and have two car seats and big dog to haul. X5 is too small and too luxury for that use.
Grand highlander, telluride, atlas is in my list. Everything about telluride just fits my use perfectly
Europe needs this car.
Did anyone noticed the sticker on that 2024 Telluride, the dealer is asking $56k for a base EX trim 💀 wow!
TROLL....👹
It does look better with the ambers.
Those wheels look like cheap jeep liberty wheels. Hahaha

$225.00 for floor mats? Come on!
It has transmissions issues.take care guys
Went with the 2024 grand highlander hybrid max over the telluride, seen way to many people complaining about the tellurides transmission issues and windshield cracking as they drove them off the lot 🤷🏼♂️ the telluride in the moss green is such a awesome colour but need something reliable
The Telluride is full of bugs and flaws..
And you think that highlander will be reliable? Time will tell. Windshield cracking was old news, there used to be a FEW transmission issues on the 2020-2021’s, but they have since rectified those.
Wise choice. Toyotas are just proven to be so much more reliable.
We’ve had our 2022 for 2 years and haven’t had one issue with with it. 20k hard miles too. It’s my wife’s bus and our road trip car. No cracked windshields or transmission issues at all. If I’m lyin I’m dyin. Love our Telly and my wife won’t let me even joke about trading it in.
You already have the grand? If not, when will you get and how much over invoice did you pay?
The #EV9 is a better alternative
Value is gone when dealer's add $5000 to the msrp
Ordered my 2024 SX Prestige for MSRP from dealer - NO markup. Shop around and out of area.....
Kia should've left the amber DRL's for the top trim SX only.
it’s not that serious.

Man I hate that line! It almost makes me stop the video right there. Annoying.
BEST SUV OF ALL TIME
This needs to be a hybrid asap!
Next generation.
I am *really* not a fan of this style of wheels (the 20" ones on this test vehicle with the machined aluminum bits on the perimeter of the wheel)! They simply are not at *all* attractive to me. Am I the only one who feels this way? Somewhere in the 4 minute range you showed some other wheels - I liked the 18" ones much better than these. Oh rats, I'm seeing a bunch of piano black in the center console area. Ugh.
These are the ugliest Wheels I've ever seen on any vehicle😮
Earlier this year dealers were 5-15K over MSRP, which scared me off (that and Care Care Nut's review of the Palisade's underpinnings). Are they still asking that much over?
This one right here they’re asking $56k and its a base EX trim 💀
BTW I love the Car Care Nut but he is a bit of a Toyota fan boy which I understand because Toyotas are the best for reliability. He said the Palisade was loud but all reviews even from owners say its luxury car quiet, at least my Telluride is. It is also an old school engine the V6 so it may need valve adjustment after 100k miles.
@F C this was to replace my wife's minivan and my vehicle is a 2015 4Runner Ltd with 160 k miles and thoughts of going to 300k so I wamt something I feel is going to last awhile. The 4runner drives exactly the way I drove it off the lot new.
I got mine for MSRP
@@joegrahe3958I’m thinking of buying 4Runner but not sure if I should go for telluride or 4Runner as that’s obviously more reliable.
Y’all could at least give _Cadillac_ their flowers for this dashboard from Kia. The integration of that display is borderline patent infringement (lol jk) - but not a peep of accountability from you guys about where this interior is coming from.
They need to put tail pipes on both sides! That is one thing keeping me from buying.
That's the deal breaker? I mean, if you like everything else about it, why would you really care what the people behind you see when they look at your vehicle?
Amazed that people buy these must not have Google to research engine fires, engine problems, etc.
Bruuhhh.. 262 torque is so much less for that size of car, get hybrid engine into this.
The price of this car will go up substantially and a battery replacement in 10 years isn't cheap.
Is this Palisade or Palisade is a Telluride. Overall Highlander is way better
