I can’t believe they did away with the rectangular running lights. That was the signature of the Telluride, what made it identifiable from a quarter mile away. Everyone loved them.
I can understand how you feel.
Literally dude!!🤦🏽♂️
Yes that was a huge mistake , actually a very stupid mistake .
Agreed! Silly move! I got my sxp nf 22 just in time. If I hadn’t, I probably would have passed and went with the palisade instead
I prefer the old lights for sure. But I don't dislike the new ones, and it's still the best looking SUV in the segment imo.
I gotta thank you Joe, and the whole Raiti's team, for these great videos - I was in the unfortunate position of needing to replace a car in this market, and I checked your channel every time I was considering a model. Virtually all the ones I was considering had been covered at some point pretty recently. The honest feedback and walkthroughs were so much help before even stepping foot on a lot. Even if we don't agree on flat black wheel surrounds haha!
Thanks Robert for saying that. I’m so glad that I can share my car passion with you
Joe is the best real reviewer on the market. As a Dad, Car Nut and avid youtube watcher he gives the best advise out there. Plus it's funny! Let's Go... Outback Review porfavor
Thank you for having my back! You got it!
Joe you always say “if you’re ready, I’m ready” but I think you should brand it and say “if you’re Raiti, I’m raiti” 😂
You are awesome David!
Thats genius! 🤝👏
THERE IT IS!!! I've been patiently waiting for Team Raiti to put this review out. Glad to see it and can't wait to see you cover the additional models and color variants...assuming you will
Keep up the great work TR!!
I was recently in the market for an SUV that could hold at least 4 Twinkies in the console front slot and at least a full box in the center console… the winner was the Bronco Sport Badlands. Thanks Joe!
Nothing wrong with that!
IMO the 2023 was redesigned to fit the X Pro/X Line Models (Not sure about the Standard EX/SX). I have the 2023 X Pro in Wolf Gray and its truly beautiful. The off-road tires add such a rugged look and it really does look mean. I understand the concern over the DRLs and sometimes wish they were still there, but the new headlights do look great and the front end is still very attractive and aggressive. The car definitely shows better in person than on video. Couldn't be happier with our purchase!
A couple things on the exterior Joe; the lower bumper trim was an air curtain for previous models. I’m not sure if the 23 has been changed. Also the hood has been slightly changed as they have debadged the telluride text.
Love the passion 😊. I needed a bench middle row, not keen on the captain seats but wanted the nightfall edition look. So went down the chrome delete option on my black 22 telluride. Blacked out the badges and alloys. Still looks slick and turns heads. Such an all round great car
I don’t understand why they don’t offer the middle seat on the 2nd row on all trims. Hyundai does the same thing. Wife likes the Palisade Calligraphy but you can’t get the bench seats in the 2nd row. Doesn’t make any sense since this is designed for families.
@@matthewgeissinger2856 totally agree. I mean if I had gone for the nightfall with captain seats, I'm giving up the extra boot space. There's 5 of us
Hey Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy
You got it Sunjib!
Thank you for mentioning the wheel noise! Was concerned about that, but wanted the extra towing capacity. Happy to know it's a non issue! And I love the new headlights, feels more classy/mature. Thanks joe!
Move over grampa! 🙅♂️ X-pro!!!
Exceptional review as always!!
Thanks for having my back!
I agree. I think exhaust on both sides would look better. Great Content as usual! 💯
Nice review keep up the good work Joe
Great review. So much storage space. Love you analogies and the "love yourself" lesson. 😁
You’re spot on about the exhaust pipe… would have been much better if they had at least put single exhaust on both sides. Hope Kia adds a hybrid option for the Telluride next year.
Great minds think a like
@@RaitisRides Spare tire gets in the way. No room for a second set of tips.
Thanks!!! Great Video. great changes for headlights and exterior! Waiting for 2023 SX Prestige review
Great reviews! Is there any underbody protection? And if so what is it?
That is a sharp looking vehicle,
Just saw it in a television ad which inspired me to hit up TH-cam and of course Raitis Rides does it best 👍🏻
If I could replace my 2022 interior with the 2023’s and keep the 2022 exterior that would be the perfect combo. Tail lights are maybe the one thing I’d bring over with the more smoked look that matches the headlights.
Exactly 🥂
I agree 💯💯💯
It’s a very nice redesign. I’m glad they are showing that they are not afraid to evolve their best selling car.
One of the things I loved about the telluride they removed. I am sooooo sad they removed telluride from the hood💔
Love the enthusiasm Joe! But I have to zonk the daytime running lights, the rear wiper and the price. Love the review. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Very good calls Michael!
What was the price. I must have skipped it
@@natchezbone 55k
@@chabbysrides thanks
He said it alright. But it was during a joke. I guess some took the price as a joke too. 🤣 🤣
Nice review! I waited 10 months and my Telly never arrived. A different dealer called and said some one bailed on theirs. Wasn’t the right colors I wanted but right trim level. I was lucky to snag it as MSRP😮!!! I did not was the 23. Hopefully she lasts me 10 years. My kia soul is 12 years old and is starting to fall apart on me 😢 at 200k miles. Your reviews are very detailed!
Perfectly appropriate you and the Telluride blew up at the same time. Both excellent products 😁 👍👍👍
Thanks man!
That grey leather interior is gorgeous, especially the way that the armrests totally pop on the doors.
I totally agree with you!
Kia has done a fantastic job, with the off road version, of the Telluride! With this off road package, the Telluride looks great, and you get an extra 500 pounds towing which is awesome!! But i've said this before and I'll say it again, Kia needs to make a performance version of the Telluride, to keep the momentum going. Can't you picture the Stinger's 3.3 twin turbo stuffed in this Telluride. Kia, if you are reading the comments please consider!! Somebody's gotta compete with the Explorer ST and the Acura MDX Type-S. So it may as well be KIA!!!
The roof rack is definitely slightly different since it has some holes instead of just a straight flush. Other than that, the interior looks almost the same except for the front panel. Still like my 2021 night fall headlights compared to the new ones though ;)
I’m glad you are happy with your Telluride
great video joe and the infotainment system nice, you forgot it has massage seats i see the button and that’s a nice perk
Can we stop the nonsense already, the redesign of the front and rear end is a total
miss. Should have left that alone.
One thing they should have done I mean how hard is it to hide the rear wiper under the rear brake light
and make the area look really clean.
No hybrid or Ev model yet?
Also, would have liked to see electric tilting and telescopic steering wheel and a beefer arm rests
for the rear caption chairs.
Since there is no nightfall edition, I wonder how many customers will be doing a blackout of
the chrome pieces. Can we add exhaust tips to the driver side please.
I thought about trading in my 2021 sx-p nightfall for a 2023 model but after seeing what they did
to the front and rear end, I think I will keep mine.
Everything else that were redesigned were what customers were asking for, so I guess Kia
listened. It will be interesting to see how the 2023 model sells compared to other years.
Is there a control knob on the console to control the infotainment screen, or do you have to always reach forward to use the touchscreen?
Great video! Cant wait to get a Telluride for myself. I was also wondering what kind of watch you are wearing in this video. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks Zach! It is a Citizen
@@RaitisRides what model Citizen is it?
😊 Loved your statement regarding the mirror, it's so important to love yourself. I'm only starting to learn to love myself, hopefully I'll be better when it comes to loving others in the future. Growing up has been difficult because my parents failed to love me.
😎 Love your review, keep up the great work boss! 🍾🥂
We have a 21 and it has the turn cameras (you said they finally got it, but it's been there). I also think the exhaust placement is bad. On the 21 at least if you are getting something out of the back is really easy to burn yourself on the exhaust because it sticks out a bit.
Good luck finding one of these on the west coast without at least a year wait and/or ridiculous markup.
Another great review as always. Keep 'em coming.
To be honest with you it’s hard finding them anywhere.
Don’t buy if they jack up the price
West C. ,, East C. ,, Gulf C. ,, Canada . 8 to 20K mark up everywhere .
Was just at dealer today in PA and they are charging 10k over msrp
@@matty4855 wow
Anyone think they 2022 is better? I own one and I'm glad I got the 2022.... other than the 2023 all digital screen...
That is an amazing really pretty newly updated telluride love that model compared to the older models that is really nice great job joe love how the telluride looks like now
I am so glad that I could share this one with you Ryan!
I'm still upset that kia has already delivered 2023 tellurides to dealers but can't seem to update their website so I can see what options come with the new trims and what can be added as well.
I have mixed feelings about the hard plastics in the 3rd row. I am sure that is to save money but could it also be because a lot of people will use the back area to haul stuff and having soft materials back there could get damaged easier?
100% because its often used as a large trunk. Soft mats would be torn up in no time. Also, kids dont care.
You can never go wrong with a black and white car. Both those colors go hand in hand. What would have looked killer on this if they kept the orange rectangular day time running lights
You are not alone in saying that!
I just got the 2024 XPro prestige and mine has the amber day time running lights and black trimming just like my 22 telluride had 🙌🏾
I got 2021 fall night edition its amazing SUV for my opinion it deserve money more than competitors because of quality builds and riding .
Hey Joe! What's your recommendation for standard -midsize luxury sport sedan. 60k-ish preferred budget. I spend a lot of time in the seat, so comfort and driving experience are equally important. Thanks!
This will be my first SUV! Great video Joe.
Sounds like a plan man!
Wait til you see the markups first. lol.
@@cgatito3528 Things are crazy out there!
why does the front door look off? 5:18 i thought it was the camera angle, but when steven zoomed in i was convinced it was the kia
This is a amazing car review . It’s very cool that you were able to get this new car to review it . 1:08
For a 55k car I'd expect for there to be one symmetrical moon roof instead of two split sun roofs come on Kia it's not 2010 anymore.
Good call!
Hands down, one of the best looking suv's in the current market and the interior equipment is just amazing.
I’m so glad that you like this one Omar
Even though Joe mentioned it, most people seem to forget that the 2023 palisade and Telluride now come with the digital rearview mirror LOL. so much damn value in these cars. It’s hard to not choose either the Kia or the Hyundai. The Palisade even comes with a driver side massaging seat and heated third row seats. Who else is doing that other than maybe Mercedes? 🤷🏽♂️
You are 100% correct!
Yep! Couldn’t have said it better!
The value is totally lost when most dealers are trying to sell this for 10-15k above Msrp
@@Bgen9472 don't buy it then. Plenty of dealers doing MSRP still
You’re right. I got my 2022 Telluride Nightfall two weeks ago at MSRP because it was the last one on the lot before the 2023s arrived. Now they’re asking $10k over MSRP for the 2023s at the same dealer I purchased mine.
reserved an x line a few days ago! coming in the 1st half of December. Cant wait....got ours in the Wolf grey with the blacked out trim and wheels
Joe, thanks for the review. How do I feel about the front end? I don't like the tacked on looking rectangle on the bottom of the front grill.
I thinly many people are saying the same thing!
Interior is beautiful except for the gloss black part should have made it wood trim colour or silver or the accent colour.
Very good call on that!
I have been waiting for this video. You always have the best reviews!! Great job😊
Thanks for having my back Judith!
What would you recommend between the telluride, palisade and pilot ?
What watch you wearing? Really like it.
Nice review. The third row has to come with plastic materials because most times the last row are always folded for luggages. It is best this way
This is not correct
@@RaitisRides tell em joe!
@@DCTexas22 you better believe it
Definitely worth the money over a Sorento. I just felt cramped sitting in the second and third row of a ‘22 Sorento.
I totally agree with you
The interior has improved a lot. Beautiful SUV 🔥
Big time!
Hey Joe it's funny how the Telluride and yourself got big at the same time. I guess it should be the Raiti's Tell-U-Rides channel now lol.
Agree. Dual tailpipes would Rock. I’ll wait for that design.
You'll wait for that?? What if it NEVER COMES?? And really, that one unimportant thing will cause you to wait??? Do you think that everyone is CRITICIZING EXHAUST PIPES AS THEY GO DOWN THE. ROAD? LOL people driving behind you couldn't give a shit about your cars exhaust set up.
Great review 😀
Traded my 2022 for a Honda Trailsport because I wanted a more off-road look. I wanted to go back to the Telluride for 2023, but it is $10k more than my Nightfall was plus I don't like the headlight look like others. I'll keep the Trailsport. Love the videos!! I watch many of them. Great info always.
Love the new front headlights!! The new Drl sold me. Trading in my lc500 for this asap
We held off to see the updates for 2023 but decided to purchased a 2022 SXP this past weekend and we love it. Pearl white, expresso brown interior. I wasn't feeling the front grill and the new headlights on the 2023.
I think you mad the right decision.
And while you're at it. What's the address of where the car is stationed at? K thnx
-Kia Boyz
Good choice! The new front is ugly! I like the exterior of my 2021 nightfall much better
Great video! Do you like the Telluride better than the Palisades?
Are those easy to steal like the other kias and huydai did they fix ?
Owning a 2022 SX and love it. Not sure I really care for the tablet like dash in these. I feel like the current 2022 dash with digital inside it would be better.
Love the digital gauge update. That was one feature it was missing.
2022 sorento has a digital gauge. I find it crazy that the 2022 telluride didn't have digital gauge?
Do all trims have parking assist?
amazing as usual :D !!!
loving the car .
20:40 that Nissan behind you is on you 8-]
Tell me about it!
Just a thought about key fobs, isn't it about time that they make them like a small penlight torch, obviously including an LED torch. I would think it was technically possible and pretty useful.
The best reviewer in the world! Never change. Your units of measurement have me cracking up 😂
Ive been a Honda and Toyota all my life, but Kia is start to grow on me and they have better warranty then the Japanese.
I can't tell. Does the 23 have ambient lighting inside?
$55,000 for a Korean V6 ? It drives me nuts. I would rather a Durango RT.
I like both Telluride and Palisade. Telluride is a nice has good looking interior even like the style of the vehicle.
Thanks for sharing your interest on this one.
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good 👍 and I love the video lot real true 💯 💯💯👍
I want every car you show!!👏👍
Doing the business. Lol definitely my favorite go to guy for car walk throughs personally I like the 20" rims but I understand why they use 18"
Great review as usual!
Nice to see heated and ventilated mid row seats… but I didn’t notice AC vents back there. (?)
Vents are In the ceiling
They are on the ceiling.
You are 100% correct Diego!
Coolio!
Have one on order for almost a year and now seeing the new upcoming Honda Pilot i am now undecided which one to get.
The review I have been waiting for...
I know it will worth the wait!
@@RaitisRides I have one on order ..... thank you Joe.... love you
@@sharifabusharifeh9386 That is so awesome my friend.
So many options to choose from 😭 blazer, palisade etc.
Which one takes the twinkies? 🤔
Just bought an X-pro with terracotta interior. Great looks. Rides great. They forgot my front license bracket? I would like to see led lights under the door frames when you open the doors so you can see where you are stepping. Disabling the auto stop would be nice without buying an after market kit. The turn signal digital cameras are hard to see as they are blocked by the steering wheel. I'm not using them. I use the mirrors. I'd like to see the side mirrors be digital too. Bang for the buck, this is the way to go. I did have to search the entire US to find the color and trim I wanted. My local San Diego dealers had the X-Pro marked +$10K over MSRP. I got mine for $550 under MSRP.
Kia is still doing the business with their lineup;a few changes here and there,but they have an amazing lineup. I have a feeling that Kia is going to be one of those brands where it’s going to dominate the full EV segment;setting it apart from the rest of the pack. Incredible review Joe and excellent camera work Steven!😊😊
Plus you can do your Twinkie run which is nice.
Hopefully they fixed the ignition issue. That's a biggie. Hyundai and Kia had super low rate of theft compared to this year and last.
@@daixer3156 yeah,i hope they fixed it already.
I like this huge gauge cluster because is the same like in my Sportage 👍.
Awesome automobile, and reviewer. 💪 😉
The Kia looks fire I love the telluride❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 awesome videos Man
Haven't even watched the video yet but boy do I wish I could get a Telluride. I love my Sportage though
The Sportage is great as well
I have a 2022. I like the 2023 X-Pro. I would prefer the Telluride text on the hood, and I love that screen. The 360-degree cameras should have been standard instead of the top line models only. Still, you won't find better value for the money. A turbo option would be kick ass. Great review as always - thank you.
I have a 2022 Telluride, do you think it's worth trading in for the X-Pro? Wonder if I can get top dollar for my 2022.
Great review! Can you get a nightfall edition?
Love 23 my Palisade Caligraphy. They might have the same powertrain, but the Palisade just rides nicer, and IMO, looks better, but the Telluride is beautiful also.
Appreciate the fact it’s 6 cylinders instead of a turbo 4
This Kia Telluride at the top of the SUV food chain with much flavor.
Is that gray interior ? Looks like the sage option
joe you and your lady killing the car review business i cant wait everytime you make a video i jump on it i dont even miss one not allowed i have to watch doesnt matter where i am you keeping us busy and informed of whats new everyday almost you have so much energy you guys have so much energy i can see you work out out active or do excersize
I appreciate you taking the time to say that Evan. It really means the world.
I was really hoping they would take this chance to fix the little gripes I had which was the awkward one sided exhaust as well as the fact that the Hyundai palisade (the telluride's equivalent) had shifter paddles but the telluride didn't. I always questioned that decision considering telluride is the MUCH sportier looking suv between the two
I totally understand your frustration
They have always done the one exhaust as they got newer I think its ugly just tuck it then if your not going to do duals.
They both work together. Hyundai obviously has some influence over Kia. They are very careful to give each car some competitive advantages so you can't just outright claim one to be a better buy.
Paddle shifters on a 3.8 suv is HILARIOUS 😂 guarantee nobody who has those actually use them so not a biggie for me
All the zonks are easily canceled out by the fact that this vehicle actually has a holder for cinnamon TicTacs. That’s a huge win right there, and the reason I’m buying this vehicle.
This dude is the BEST!! I’m cracking up here 😂😂
Great SUV, but they failed on the outside refresh 😔. However the interior got the proper updates. However, it's still better than say, a Highlander, and a more useful 3rd Row seat
