Has it run smoothly? We are a Toyota fam and worried about how long the Kia will last … would love to hear how you like it!

@@tessalange248 it has a 10 year warranty but yes it is by far over exceeded my expectations. Very nice vehicle

How do you like the braking? I rented one lasy year for a family trip and I felt like the braking response was a little sluggish. Maybe it was the weight and momentum of the vehicle or the vehicle I rented needed new brakes. I'm not really sure but that was my only complaint

@@katanamast279 no issues. I pull a trailer with it too

@@anthonypiccione2551 Nice. I need to go test drive a new one then. Me and my wife want to get the SX Trim with Prestige package and AWD in May/June. We are going to keep our Toyota Camry and my MK7 VW GTI as well

I just bought one and wish my badges were blacked out. How do you plan to black out your badges?

@@1Candysweets I tried to respond to this days ago. Maybe because I put the brand I used on my post, my comment was deleted. Anyway, congratulations on your new ride. I did a search for badge blackout kits online and found something I liked. It looks good.

I found the Ottocast U2-X a great solution for converting to wireless Android Auto/Apple Carplay. Works better than wired and fits nicely into the console compartment. Installation Video-kzfaq.info/get/bejne/id5mZ7hjrM2dk6M.html&lc= My Installation-flic.kr/p/2nfaDNG

Question if you don't mind, how much did you pay? I've been out of the market in recent years and understand things are a bit crazy right now, with some dealers taking advantage. Not sure if things are worse here in the NYC metro area, but curious... Thanks.

@@rptrama my order was placed just before the full effects of availability and inflation hit. So my price was still MSRP. I’ve heard a lot of stories about dealerships adding to the price because of the high demand and lack of inventory, but thankfully my purchase was not affected.

What about fuel economy, how's it based on your daily usage. Thanks for your time

Yes second the question - what’s your average mpg?

It being 2023 do you still feel the same? I’m looking into getting one 🤞🏾

Skeptical of Kia in general. Are they reliable ? I’m shopping around . 2022 pathfinder / 4 Runner .

@@auctevia well, it’s my first one. I’ve had various brands before as mentioned. But the Kia comes with much better warranty as well than the other brands.

@@auctevia yes, they are. Not a trash anymore like in 90s and early 00s. (Own a Kia)

I’ll looking at trading my 3 year old e class for one

@@auctevia I did the same shopping as you and found the following . . . Any Nissan was right out for me as they have a lot of sensors that are often both useless and dangerous. I had a 2008 Rogue that disabled the engine while driving on the freeway because of a sensor in the steering column failing. Turned out there was nothing wrong with the steering column, just the sensor. Ditto on a heat sensor. The vehicle began to shudder and slow down from 68 mph to 35 while driving on the freeway. I or friends have had similar experiences across the line of vehicle offerings from Nissan. So any Nissan vehicle was an immediate no. As for the Toyota 4Runner, I was amazed to find several things that made it a no for me as well. While I was attracted to the look of the 4RUNNER and the reputation for reliability, I was surprised and disappointed to discover that it has both the least powerful engine in its class at 265-270HP, and also the worst fuel economy in its class at 17MPG freeway. Even the Land Rover Defender at over 5000 lbs got a significantly more economic 23MPG compared to the Toyota’s 4400 lbs. Lastly I learned that the 4Runner’s interior hasn’t been updated in 10 years. While I’m fairly tall at 6’4” I didn’t expect the interior to be so cramped that I would touch my head to the ceiling after making every adjustment to the driver’s seat save for reclining it. It also didn’t even have CarPlay or Android connectivity to the infotainment system. For these reasons, I opted for the Telluride (which I fit in quite comfortably) and am very pleased. More power, better fuel economy, far more comfortable, newer and better amenities and a much improved record of reliability are just some of the reasons why.

How’s the timing working out? I’m waiting on one ordered end of December

I mean their vehicles are always sturdier than the competition at least that all I can vouch for them and plus their tech!

Chanho Park : hold my joint puff puff

I’ve got my black out logo kit ready to go. Installing tomorrow and ordering black license plates from the DMV soon. Excited for the completed look.

Good Idea. Let us know how it looks.

I purchased a black decal to go over the new KIA logo its just small enough to keep the silver around the logo. Looks really good if you go black. I also have the nightfall package.

@@bjscorpio salute to you. I definitely want this same model. How has it been since you had it?

Agreed. The review was done really well.

I have 2020 S AWD. I get btw 19-26 mpg mixed city and local highway in Smart mode. The 19 is mostly in winter time. Local driving in 35 mph traffic with lights, around 22 mpg. For long distance on the freeway above 60 mph I get as much as 29 mpg. I was pleasantly surprised that such a big SUV doesn’t guzzle gas. Also I noticed a significant bump in mpg after the first oil change. They didn’t say they did anything to it.

Quick can of Plasti Dip can take care of that, as an option

Sameeeeee saving up for one

Yeah but the nightfalls looks so much better+

I concur …. I would rather buy a German or reputable Japanese name brand car for that price ! Ohh no way Kia is going to get any money with that kind of markup ! Crazy

I ran into the problem with one dealer but then went to a different Kia dealer and no mark up at all. Crazy some people will do that to you unlike others

That's the case at most KIA dealers. Paying so much more than MSRP and in a few years the resale value is way below average. Smart move with the Audi.

How long is the waiting?

@@tonoramirez2777 we were told 6-8 months back in July.

Dude I work at a dealership 😂 u aren’t getting ur car for a year or so and let me tell u why. Bc if they can make 10k off ur car instead is selling it to u for msrp, they will

@@templewright4857 really? Because I could give you a list of 20 names of people who purchased at this exact dealership AT or BELOW MSRP. Timeline could change, but that’s out of their control. Not every dealer is a greedy little shit.

@@kevincondran8032 bro yes u did get yours for msrp and so did others but out of those ppl how many have already gotten there’s? With the number one vehicle in America, they are very hard to come by as is and ur dealership has prob gotten ur exact Telluride 5 times and sold it for full price. They do that Bc they didn’t give u a time frame of when yours will arrive so when u get ur 2022, the 2023 may already be out and u will get yours for msrp after a year or so.

It’s available for the Prestige package but only if you select Dune Brown as your nappa leather color.

Did you black out the front and the back? I have a ‘22 EX Nightfall Wolf Gray scheduled to deliver on Nov. 29 (hoping sooner) and I can’t decide if I want to block out the front too. I already bought the DYC Hyperdip kit, but I’m thinking of leaving front emblem. Or dipping the front in Anthracite Gray or Stealth Gray. Just trying to get feedback from people who have done this on their Telluride. Thanks man!

@@michaelpalkovics I did both and love it, didn't like the idea of 1 blacked out and not the other...Wish I could show you a pic...I have the everlasting silver color but the Wolf Gray is bad ass too! Congrats on the ride. I've had it for about 4 months and it's an amazing vehicle. Drove BMW X5's, Volvo XC 90's, Highlander and Pilots. The Kia, in my opinion, blew them all away. Never thought I'd say that about a KIA!:)

Same here…spoke with dealer yesterday…it’s in the pipeline!

Hyperdip kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iKt7hdaQltXLoZc.html

Also raced a Stinger GT from a stoplight the other day...my Telluride really needs twin turbos...took him across the intersection thanks to all wheel drive but blew me away after that...

@@davidwagner2626 the stinger gt has almost 400hp and a 3.3l twin turbo. Not a chance in hell you were beating that haha. That said, I just sold my Stinger GT1 for a telluride. If they ever drop a GT Telluride I'll for sure be upgrading.

Yes wished this came on the 2022

I've seen one on YT with twin dual exhaust on both ends. You can modify it to look like that. Also, you can get the back badge painted Black.

Nah its awesome as it is, this aint a sports car

I was told 4-6 depending on the trim. The higher the trim the shorter the wait

@@DeadAir21 I ordered the top trim which was the nightsky which is the highest spec here in Canada

@@markmcgeehan when is the date of delivery promised to you?

@@PrashanthAkunuri there was no date promised to be. All I was told 2,3,4 months. What about you?

@@markmcgeehan I didn't book yet, still on the fence. I inquired more than a month ago in Mississauga and I was told the same. They didn't even have a car for me test drive. I am still exploring between this Acura MDX and VW Atlas.

This is true. Family friend had hers in the shop for over. A month because the couldn’t get the HEADLIGHT in. Everything else came in, but the headlight was on back order for weeks!

If you know anything about the Auto market, everything is in short supply because of covid dam.

Both front and back logo on 22 should be black. I blacked out my own and it looks amazing on the all black 22 nightfall.

IKR. The car looks great all around and that dash cluster looks so dated and cheap

Interesting, I find the digital dash to look cheap. Nothing as sharp as analog.

Plenty of dealerships selling at MSRP, if you are willing to order and wait. I’d drive or fly anywhere in the country before paying some of the ridiculous markups!

@@kevincondran8032 what city is it ? 💚

@@Ecuador006 we ordered ours from Kia of Muncie in Muncie, Indiana. They sell @ MSRP and also honor the Costco discount, which is $1200.

Newport News VA. Upmarked 10k. Walked at Msrp. Ex -21' premium package. Tow hitch amber lights etc.

Don’t buy anywhere’s in Cali they’re all marking it up least 3k-5k. If ppl from Cali want this, buy outside of Cali and bring here if you can get it at msrp
