The only use I see for the voice amplifier is “ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking”

I contributed to this car, proud of it, I drive parts to Kia plant as truck driver. I haul seats, vehicle frame and tires

Doug the type of guy to put his wife in the third row so he can use Driver Talk

I respect KIA's hustle, they came up a long way.

Do I have kids? Nope. Do I ever intend on buying this? Nope. Am I gonna watch the video anyways? Yes, yes I am.

doug the kind of person to read a cars manual as a bed time story

Telluride just won the “World car of the Year” award for 2020 Congrats 🎈🎊🎉🍾 Kia!

Great review Doug! My only request for future reviews is to give an opinion of the sound quality of the stereo system. Since you review so many cars, I feel this is an important addition to the infotainment portion as user interface is one aspect, but sound quality can vary greatly between brands (how is the bass, instrument sound, detail, loudness, etc). Just an idea. Thanks again for a great review!

"Oh, this is so much fun! I sound like I'm a radio announcer!" Wholesome AF.

20,000 car reviews later...5:48 and Doug's officially lost it.

No joke but in the middle of the video I got an add for which car? Yes, KIA. Which KIA? Telluride.

Does 0-60 in 7 seconds and Doug gives it a 1/10 for acceleration! Crazy scoring system.

Her: talk dirty to me 😏 Doug: I’m gonna tell you all of the quirks and features of this car

wtf .. 2020 models already i feel like 2013 was yesterday

Sometimes I just like to watch these videos and imagine myself playing on my phone in the back seats while my parents are driving at night on a long roadtrip. It comforts me.

I drove this a while ago, and it’s the best SUV I’ve driven in a long time. So comfortable, quiet, drives well, and filled with tech. Might buy soon.

KIA: We need a car for American market Also KIA: Ok, so gigantic suv with USB ports and cup holders everywhere!

Kia's developmental team: "how many USB ports and cupholders should we put in it" Kia's CEO: Yesss

Great video Doug! I love this new Kia Telluride and really think it is going to be their hottest seller!!

I have a white Kia telluride LX. The base model. Still very nice. My family and I love it.

1980s: We're going to have flying cars in 2020 2020: Telluride

"Third row intended mainly for children". Sofyan from redline reviews.... "it's pretty roomy in the 3rd row for me!"

Korea slowly taking over the market

I walked into a Kia dealership yesterday. They had 4 new Tellurides and all sold in one week! Beautiful cars!

Uhhhhh, this is your captain speaking. We will be arriving at soccer practice in approximately 5 minutes. 😆

5:36 wow. I can already see all those dads jokes doing airline pilot impressions with that feature.

kia not leaving without a fight, first the stinger...now the telluride

Even with everything named there were still a lot of great features missed that help it stand out even further. It's a great SUV that without knowing the name people would expect to pay $70k + for.

Doug forgot to mention the ultrasonic sensors in the Telluride that if they detect movement in the vehicle after you have shut and locked it, it will honk the horn and flash the lights at you and notify your Uvo Link app on your smartphone to remind you something is in the vehicle. Also forgot to mention the Safe Exit Assist feature that will prevent you from opening your doors to oncoming traffic by using the BSM system to detect it.

"The volume knob and the climate knob are exactly the same and in the same place!" *shows two different sized knobs in different places*

Kia Telluride (esp. up front) to a 2010 Caddy Escalade: I am your Korean son!

That reclining rear seat and car talk sold me GOOD JOB KIA

90% of the comments are - Doug the type of guy 10% of the comments - about the car

Doug....how could you not give us a side by side of the tailgate speeds...

Now that my mom is an empty nester she finally decided to let go of her minivan, and in January I talked her into getting an sx prestige telluride. 6 months later she still loves it

To this day, these SUVs are sold before they even get off the truck. A guy I work with had to leave the state to get his as the local dealerships had ran out of stock for the foreseeable future. Each dealership is only alloted a certain number of shipments withing a given period of time and they simply ran out of possible orders. KIA obviously didn't expect how popular these things would be.

Doug the type of guy to set up a radio show in a Kia Telluride.

I feel strange saying this - but I have been looking forward to this video. I wish I wasn't in straight suburban-dad mode these days...

My parents just leased one of these today and I have to say it is a very nice car. They got the bigger 20" wheels on theirs and it is a good looking car. I'm a big fan of Kia's interior design, really classy and modern looking.

My friend just bought one of these and while I personally am not a fan of the outer styling, I have to say I really enjoyed driving it on a recent trip. On the freeway it can basically drive itself (surprised this wasn't more thoroughly explained in the video), space inside was ample for our camping gear, and it handled fine on our off-road adventures. Pleasantly surprised by Kia with this SUV!

It’s amazing to see how Kia has become over the years.

“...Enclosed Kia pickup truck, “ Also known as a van?

Doug, you are the best! Specially the attention to detail. Haven't seen anyone who is so detailed, specific & to the point. Everytime I watch your video, it amazes me. Thanks,

I always love to watch your car reviews no matter what car it is! Hoping you’d also review the competitor of this car launched recently in the market “the 2020 Hyundai Palisade”

The rear third quarter looks like a mix of Range Rover and Cullian

Doug is the type of guy who will sit next to you on a empty bus

What an awesome video! Iconic Doug. Thanks for another great one.

Nobody: Kia: TELLURIDE Me: I RIDE

You know KIA is doing something awesome when Doug DeMuro reviews a KIA and it scores 50 on the Doug score and even got Doug to use the word "cool." KIA execs take note, over 1 million views, this should be in your next commercial. Great job Sir Doug, great job. The CDSM is well pleased (Coalition for the Doug Score Movement).

That “Welcome Sound” sounds like the old Windows XP Shut-Down noise 😂

Hey Doug, I think you'd appreciate this little detail that almost nobody knows about Kia... Seems appropriate for me to tell you since you are the king of esoteric automotive knowledge on KZfaq. The name Kia... is actually a bastardized version of a bastardized name in English. Kia is actually not a Korean word. It's derived from the English word GEAR. Which in Korean, lacking the letter R in the language, is translated to "gia" (which in Korean, it actually means gear because there is not an official Korean word for gear. So it's a borrowed word). Which was then once again bastardized to "Kia" when converted back to English. Because for whatever reasons, when Korean words become Romanized, G becomes K. On that note, it's actually Gimchi. Not Kimchi. The last name Kim is actually Gim. And so on and so forth. So. Is it a Kia Telluride? No. It's a Gear Telluride. Cheers. Edit: But nobody in Korea calls it a Gear. It's "Gia".

This is truly a great car I got one a couple of months ago and it seats all of my children comfortable will still a reasonable amount of cargo room along with a lot of technology,great ride quality,and all around just a great car

Doug is the kind of person to show the quirks in the tailgate to the person he’s kidnappping before shoving them in

I am more and more impressed by Kia every year.

The welcome sound on my Telluride plays when I unlock the car and get in, before I start it.

New drinking game: take a shot every time Doug says “quirk”.

Doug the type of guy to bring his own pepper grinder to Olive Garden.

From Koenigseggs to KIAs... You got to love Doug

I gotta say, the first time seeing the Telluride on the road, I was impressed. It doesn't look like a school project designed by Frank Gehry, just boxy & simple. Good on you Kia.

21:06 Doug, dude, you killed this thing on the Doug Score. “It’s average so I am going to give it a 1. It’ cool so I am going to give it a 2.” Your score doesn’t match your review at all on this one.

I lost it when he yelled “QUIRKS AND FEATURES” on the driver talk

Doug is the type of guy to yell answers at the TV when Dora asks for help

My Optima has the same volume and climate control placement. It's not an issue at all, and the steering wheel is the best way to change the volume anyway. Definitely saving up money for the Telluride.

I get bored during the pandemic - I drink beer and watch Doug talk about cars.

Who also says "this" with doug everytime he starts a video

Doug the type of guy to open a bag of chips with scissors

Sound like an open air theater at 3rd row when driver speaks.. good review

Kia made a family size SUV for just one year named the Borrego.. It's a unicorn if you ever see one on the road.

I've honestly been looking forward to this. Kia has really been stepping up.

The three complaints got me ROFL. Doors auto lock, volume control is on the steering wheel, and this car is loaded at 40k. That center screen is ten years ahead of most other brands.

Saw the Telluride at the Austin Auto show and LOVED IT! Beautiful car, with great styling and a ton of features. Funny Doug can’t tell if the door is locked or unlocked. Also silly he thinks the audio dial is too near the temperature dial. 🤓🤓🤓

It's in such high demand, it's selling over MSRP. Kia, Hyundai, Genesis are making some of the most interesting and definitely most stylish and most improved cars in the industry. Forget any preconceived notions you had of any of these brands. These are competitors and should be considered.

At least Doug is wearing two shirts again. I was worried with the BMW X7 video. Don't Change Doug! We love ya! :D

From a side angle the back looks like a Rolls - Royce Cullinan

Looks like Kia put the best features of a lot of SUV’s out there on and in the telluride and came up with a nice looking vehicle.Take the Kia badging off and replace them with Range Rover badges and 95% of the public wouldn’t even know you did that.

This car is absolutely amazing. I just surprised my mom a new one of these for her 50th b-day. She LOVES IT! I got her the top of the line model which is the SX Prestige X-Pro, it’s got literally everything you could imagine, AT tires, additional ground clearance, heated & ventilated front and rear seats, driver seat power thigh adjustment, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, Wireless Charging, power adjustable pedals, mirrors, seats, and steering wheel with driver memory, full led DRLs, fog lights, headlights and taillights, auto high-beam, rear view mirror camera, every single safety/driver assist feature to ever exist including Kia and Hyundai exclusive blind spot view monitor and ACC w/ stop and go + steering assist, and self parking. Also I believe it has heated 3rd row seats. Only spent around $50,000 for it, that’s without any trade in, or incentives, just good ol’ fashioned negotiation. Sticker price was only $55,000 THATS IT! which you can probably tell is insanely cheap for what you get. It’s got more than enough acceleration it tows a 20’ pontoon boat with ease, gets around 24-25 MPG combined, it’s extremely smooth and quiet, and it drives like a dream. I’ve looked at every one of the Tellurides including the 2023 Pilot and the brand new updated Highlander, the traverse and the Explorer, they’re all pretty nice vehicles but the only thing that comes anywhere near the telluride is the top of the line Explorer that was over $62000 and wasn’t as smooth or as quiet as this is. If your in the market for one of these I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND getting this or the Tellurides twin sister, the Hyundai Palisade is literally an exact replica of the new Telluride with the exception of badging and exterior styling. This is also one of the cheapest top of the line vehicles in its class!! THIS CAR IS AMAZING! IM GOING TO GET MY WIFE ONE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS!

IMO, it looks like a GTA 5 clone of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan...

I can't wait for Doug to review it's sister the Hyundai Palisade when it comes out

I had the opportunity to drive a Maxed out Telluride (44k priced model), and was really impressed! It was that cool dark green color.

This has been my dream car for a long time, and I finally upgraded from the 2021 Sportage (my previous dream car!) to a 2022 Telluride. I love it! I think it's unfair to compare it too much to its class rivals, especially in terms of comfort and styling. While I overlook most SUVs that drive past me, I've always turned my head when I see a Telluride. I would say it's more comparable to higher-end luxury SUVs for overall driving experience than an Ascent, Passport, 4Runner, etc. And as a longtime Kia owner, the amount of features and "quirks", as Doug says, in this car is far higher than its rivals.

Thank you for reviewing the Telluride, but I wish you had been able to review the SX model instead of the one reviewed. The SX has all the "bells and whistles", has the rear glass roof, and 20" black wheels. I work at KMMG in West Point, Ga where we build the Telluride exclusively. We are very proud of this vehicle and strive to build quality products at KMMG. I work in the paint shop so I hope the paint looked good. Thanks again for the positive review Doug.

Doug the type of guy to give cars a higher fun factor if they have cabin or driver talk because he likes impersonating a radio anouncer

Anytime Doug gets in a car with Driver Talk or Cabin Talk you know it's gonna be good

I’m currently shopping for this type of vehicle, and I was strongly considering the Telluride. This video has convinced me it’s the right choice, even though I’m mostly used to watching your videos about insane cars. The only thing I might appreciate about vehicles like this (which us normal folks can afford) is at least a mention of their crash safety. Especially ones like this, which are explicitly marketed to families. Otherwise, just as good a video as all the rest, thanks a million Doug.

I see Kia and Hyundai spent some time on vacation in Western Colorado. Telluride and now Palisade, I hope I can soon buy a Grand Junction😂

Kia/Hyundai are going to take over. So crazy how much they have changed in 10 years.

I absolutely love the look of this thing. It has a few cullinan design cues that put the cherry on top

10:52 the startup sound sounds similar to windows XP startup sound

Kia employees watching this were riding high until Big Doug slapped them with that 2 Cool Factor

You know it's spring when Doug and the UPS drivers are wearing shorts.

Practicality: 10/10 That's a segment, Doug: "The Tens". Pick vehicles that got a 10 in a category, and go into a bit more detail about why.

2020 Toyota Highlander has been completely redesigned, I think partly because the Kia has been selling so well. The quality and comfort is amazing. Great car to look at and it’s a wonderful ride. Very comfortable to sit, much more roomy than my mom’s 2013 Highlander lol.

Front looks like a GMC Yukon. Side looks like a Volvo XC90. Rear looks like a TVR/Rolls Royce Cullinan.

A $40,000 suv with peasant blockers? I like it.

honestly car brands should be paying him a good review from doug just seals any buyers questioning themselves. i mean this vid got 2.2 mill views

Love the new telluride, but I wish Doug would’ve been able to review the SX model with the premium package!

5:36 you sound like a mad scientist planning to take over the world

*_5:38_**_ I'm literally shaking, I think we have created a monster_*

Still a wonderful SUV for me to drive one day. Awesome job with your videos anyway Doug.

I just bought one of these for my wife. We have no children, but she wanted a mid-size SUV. We looked at the Highlander, Ascent, Atlas, Lexus RX, Acura MDX, and the Tesla Model Y. I left it up to her to decide which one she wanted. When she test drove the Kia, she knew it was the one. Mark-ups are crazy on these at $7,000-$10,000 over MSRP. I tried talking the dealer down to a few thousand under MSRP, but they laughed at me. Found a nicely equipped EX at a local deal on a "one at this price" of $1,100 under MSRP, and went and snatched it up! She's very happy with it.
