Hurricanes may be spawning, swells may be out of control but our man J Raiti out here reviewing cars for our education and entertainment. Bravo good sir stay safe
I decided to get the 2025 Telluride S last month and it was because of this video that put it so high on my radar!!! I've had it about 3 weeks now and 500 miles and I love it!! I got the midnight blue exterior and it is so beautiful. I don't know why so many people drive white/gray/black cars, I love me some color!
Still loving my 2024 Telluride, got it at $2k under MSRP and removed $4k of add ons to save $6k total for my XPRO here in SoCal. Towing a 3800# trailer on the OEM hitch and 7'pin, handles it well for a midsize
I’ve owned a 24 telluride prestige for a year. Still enjoy watching your reviews even though I am no longer in the market. Might spring for a 330i soon though!
@SpaceZeee Maybe if your foot wasn't too heavy? Also changing the oil once in a blue moon helps too? I know you are full of S when u mentioned u went through 3 engines, who is dumb enough to go over 3 engines??? Oh wait, that's right, you.....
@Raiti, that dip design on the roof where it meets the windshield is a kia trademark design, the StingerGT has three same dip at the same spot. Btw, KIA still makes the best white in the industry, and that big boss looks absolutely stunning in white. So good!!!!
They're not new, that's what the low-end cluster has looked like since the refresh for MY2023. This one only has a 4.2" dynamic cluster screen. You can step up to the SX or up and get a nicer 12.3" full digital cluster screen if you want something better.
I’d just get the bench seat for the second row. Too many Telluride’s here in Colorado. I’m driving the Pathfinder, it’s is a bit smaller than this, which I prefer. Only the hybrid Highlander is worth buying now.
Drove one and it was great. I only didn’t like that digital dash that’s on a few Hyundai and Kia models….the rpm is also numbers and you end up having 2 different set of numbers moving around and I hated it lmao. Stay safe Florida
I agree it looks great and has a great offering. But it’s nowhere near the “best selling suv”. Tons of other options and more suv sold out there. The markups and other issues, plus the design is getting a bit outdated now, since it looks almost the same since 2019.
Nope. I was in the market for an SUV. This was in my shortlist. Watch Carcarenut review this engine will have issues. And FB KIA telluride issues, search how many issues this POS has. Plus it has a ton of QC issues. Recalls. I got a 4Runner instead.
😂 wouldn't touch this or palisade untill the all new model that fixed all problems from this previous gen. These are known to have ton of bad engines failures.
Toyota Highlander is still the most reliable, long-term, in this category. But you're right, they took it down a notch when they dropped the wonderful six-cylinder engine that can last 300,000 miles or more.
Check out Reviews for Kia. None of those features will last. Kia is the most cheap technology car brand period. This is not a 150k mile on the dash Suv

In terms of design, this is one of the best looking midsize.
During Covid my uncle really wanted one, but a 15K market adjustment killed it Bought a VW Atlas at MSRP and 100K miles later no issues whatsoever.
Immediate thumbs up before I even start to watch, thats how good your videos are , high quality as always 👌

I bought a white one in October and its wonderful
That’s my ride! I purchased this exact Telluride! Just tinted the windows and soon to have my hitch installed. Nice video…..
That is an incredible offering for $41k
Indeed it is. But it’s just unfortunate that most dealers have ridiculous mark-ups on Tellurides.
@@digressor that is old news. market has changed. they are selling for thousands below msrp.
@@mqayyum9226 not in our area. Was just in the market for 3 row crossover. The dealers in our area charges $5k above MSRP
@@digressorIf you see a markup, move on. I work at a Kia dealership in Mass. no mark ups
@@fattygamer94 yup, I actually did. It just sucks because I really like the vehicle.
My parents bought the 2020 Telluride. It was one of the nicest vehicles I’ve ever been in. You can’t beat it for that price.
Hey Joe ! Glad to see you didn’t get blown away in the storm. I hope you tied the twinkies down. Nice Kia !

I love the commentary! Hilarious but informative!
After much researching, I just bought the 2025 telluride S trim best bang for your buck! And rides great!
So great to hear Rebecca! Congrats on your new Telluride!
I’ve owned a 24 telluride prestige for a year. Still enjoy watching your reviews even though I am no longer in the market. Might spring for a 330i soon though!
Good looking vehicle, except for the wheels. Those are a big zonk!
Yes the price point is what makes this very attractive.
You can't deny KIA offers ton of value for your hard earned money.
While the motor blows.
offers a ton of fires and problems too
@SpaceZeee No they don't, I got a 2016 Kia Sorento which I bought new, 0 issue and am considering a Telluride

Got a 22 forte gt line still perfect
Nice Competitive SUV, Clean cut except they forgot the rear wiper
Hope things are still working in Florida.
Great Job Joe!! Great reviews, great personality.
Love, Love my 2021 Telluride SX-PRESTIAGE, night fall edition, glacial white pearl, black napa leather.
Test drove a palisade yesterday. Virtually the same vehicle. Pretty nice
@Raiti, that dip design on the roof where it meets the windshield is a kia trademark design, the StingerGT has three same dip at the same spot.
Btw, KIA still makes the best white in the industry, and that big boss looks absolutely stunning in white. So good!!!!
personally I think Genesis’s Uyuni White looks better
Design-wise, the 2022 and 2023 models were the best, at least for me.
Interesting comments appearing Joe! Great to see you made it through the other side mate!
Joe and Laurie 🎉 did it again glad you guys are safe😂
Amazing review Joe and I'm like this vehicle.
Ugh. Are those the new gauges? 12:40
Please tell me there are other options to choose from.
They're not new, that's what the low-end cluster has looked like since the refresh for MY2023. This one only has a 4.2" dynamic cluster screen. You can step up to the SX or up and get a nicer 12.3" full digital cluster screen if you want something better.
Since 23 model year, they've been using dual 12" in screen.
@@fattygamer94 I'm talking about the RPM and MPH digital gauge cluster.
It used to be digital dials. Now it's just digits.
😊 I was literally reaching for TicTac when Raiti mentioned good place for TicTacs.
I still would love to see a Continental door setup on this vehicle. With the trim door trim would be sharp.
Are they still adding an up charge to these vehicles
Hahaha love your videos. Great personality and sense of humor. If I lived in the US, I would definitely buy my suv from you.😂 Blessings!❤
Hey, Joe great looking SUV, I hope you and the family are safe and dry in Florida, my friend.
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
Wow these Telluride crossovers have an amazing players bro
For me the SX-Prestige in white with the tan leather.
Love your videos brother.
Just bought this one a few days ago love it so much
I’m definitely going with this V6.
Naturally aspirated V6 is rare to find nowadays
41K is a steal these days for 3 row v6...
I am hoping when there is a new design that there will be exhaust times on both sides.
Nice video keep up the great work Joe
I’d just get the bench seat for the second row. Too many Telluride’s here in Colorado. I’m driving the Pathfinder, it’s is a bit smaller than this, which I prefer. Only the hybrid Highlander is worth buying now.
CX90 or Telluride?? 🤔
hows tampa doing now joe
Keep the V6!
still debating between Honda passport ELX vs Telluride S?
Love your car video
Hey Joe I may have missed it are you doing the 2025 KIA Sorento? If not can't wait to see your review on the Sorento
I wanna see the sxt prestige X line 2025
Check out the seat build quality at 12:04 what’s up with that?
That is a great question Matthew!
I noticed that too! Great review but those seats are already coming apart and is a brand new suv
Would you take the telluride over the Atlas?
Glad you survived the hurricane Joe rati
It’s sure glad Kia still has the v6 those others with turbo 4’s no not going to snug it this has my attention!
I like the headlights. It’s like they took the Genesis headlights and turned them vertically.
Thank you for all the reviews Raiti. ******** Can you do a video comparison between the 2025 Honda Pilot and 2025 KIA Telluride? *********
Thank You!
I know I'm saying myself:"Joe... I just cashed out all my stock money because of Milton, how much will it cost me?"
Is the passenger seat non-manual on the higher trims?
Yes
When are you reviewing kia carnival hybrid?
Is it better than Mazda cx 90? I mean 3rd r seats 💺
A fully loaded civic hatchback is $37k. Not too shabby as you said.
Kia or chevy ??? Idk which one to get
Drove one and it was great. I only didn’t like that digital dash that’s on a few Hyundai and Kia models….the rpm is also numbers and you end up having 2 different set of numbers moving around and I hated it lmao. Stay safe Florida
All Kia's now have digital clusters
Good looking a lot of room, change the lights make the square agaim
I’d lean towards the Pathfinder.
I’m still not sold on their long term reliability.
Ya think? 😂
Great price point
Yeah of course & I would rather buy this SUV.
I agree it looks great and has a great offering. But it’s nowhere near the “best selling suv”. Tons of other options and more suv sold out there. The markups and other issues, plus the design is getting a bit outdated now, since it looks almost the same since 2019.
Please keep the V6! I’m buying my last car in my life in 2027 and it is going to be naturally aspirated V6.
Hate the lights I
Light the square all the way around lit up cool white
Nope. I was in the market for an SUV. This was in my shortlist. Watch Carcarenut review this engine will have issues. And FB KIA telluride issues, search how many issues this POS has. Plus it has a ton of QC issues. Recalls. I got a 4Runner instead.
Same, I was considering this myself but went Pathfinder.
I just got home 🏡 from a maintenance appointment at Toyota and saw a Kia Telluride broken down on the side of the interstate 😂.
Why is there no CarPlay in 2025
2025 Kia Telluride S 3.8L V6 8-Speed Automatic 4X2!
I go to honda pilot. Same price
Gotta stop zonking the rear wiper and start zonking the red turn signals. Amber turn signals are safer and look better.
I own this exact one and got it for 42K
Viva the Kia telluride!
Why don’t you say VW Atlas name as a competitor?
Nice.ride
Tell Ur Ride who's Boss, KIA KONG
This guy is hilarious I wanna buy a car from him 😂
Thanks for letting me share the laughs and the cars with you!
Jesus 41k now for S FWD? I paid 38k for a new 22’ S AWD.
Good value but fugly front end in my opinion.
😂 wouldn't touch this or palisade untill the all new model that fixed all problems from this previous gen. These are known to have ton of bad engines failures.

Memory unlocked with the comment about troll doll pencil toppers lol :)
Nothing about vehicles--I hope everybody with Raitis Rides is OK from the Hurricane??
Good looking vehicle love all the features, but the wheels suck, they need a better design than that, Hyundai's are better,but great video.
Nice ride, my only nit pick is that 90s gear shifter. Would be nice to see a slick low profile electronic shifter, audi like
Check out Reviews for Kia. None of those features will last. Kia is the most cheap technology car brand period. This is not a 150k mile on the dash Suv
Better than a 2025 BMW X3.
Well, I am zonking this whole telluride 😐
Saw one at a local dealer, with 8K market adjustment. Jeez
Viva the KIA Carnival
3.8 liter V6 just to have under 300 Horsepower????? Might as well had a turbo 4 for over 300 Horsepower. That 3.8 engine is horrible.
It's a really nice looking SUV for a really good price. I have to say, those S trim rims... terrible look.
I love KIA SUV's but they increased the price so m😮ch, i'd look somewhere else.
Still the best 3 row suv
