I LOVE my new Telluride. It’s beautiful, comfortable, fun to drive and basically checks all the boxes. I got the EX with premium and towing package and paid about $50k after taxes etc. For this price I would expect some of the basic features my 2017 Highlander had such as not having to take my keys out of my bag to open the door, homelink to open my garage, and programmable driver seat settings. Other than that I am over the moon and love the car; it’s so spacious and the third row can actually fit adults. If anyone is considering one I would recommend highly but also recommend waiting awhile since most dealers are charging a markup so you have to haggle. There is a dealer in Muncie, Indiana honoring Costco prices, and I’m sure a few others. If you’re not in a rush it’s worth waiting for!

My last two cars were an Audi A7 and Jeep unlimited. This Kia is nicer than both of them. No issues. Comfort and ride are spectacular. Never thought a Kia would be this awesome. Kia put together a great vehicle. I purchased in March 2019 and we are about to be in 2020. I have driven it 20k miles from FL to Georgia, FL to Alabama and daily driving through FL. I drove Honda, Nissan, Volvo, Hyundai, Subaru, Range Rover and I liked it best. Looks, comfort, reliability and price just make it the best deal. I bought the S version. Gives a moon roof and electric seat. Do yourself a favor consider this suv. The whole family is comfortable because of front and rear Ac and heat control and there are 8 or 9 plug ins for phone or iPads. I can’t say about this vehicle. My Jeep was 600 a month and my Audi was 1150 a month. My Kia is 350. You cannot go wrong.

Radiator Failed

Radiator failed after a week, my wife ended up on the side of the freeway stranded with our kid in the back. Kia customer service has been awful to work with. The dealer passes you off on the main Kia Customer service line, and then you get bounced around. We regret buying this car based on how we are being treated.

2020 Kia Telluride SX 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 8A)
51 of 57 people found this review helpful
We purchased an SX-Prestige AWD Labor Day Weekend and we have been very pleased. EPA estimate is fairly accurate as we drive in Eco mode primarily and average about 19 mpg in the city and more like 25-30mpg on the highway. We looked at all the internet reviews by consumers and critics and everyone has been looking at this new vehicle very favorably. At this point demand is still exceeding supply so a good deal is considered MSRP. Several dealers are marking up the vehicle well above MSRP. It has a very luxurious cabin feel, spacious trunk room even with the 3rd row up, plenty of legroom in the 3rd row, a great Highway driving assist feature (a lot like our Tesla autopilot sytstem in our model 3), and lots of safety features all at a very reasonable price point. Pros: Luxurious cabin with Nappa Leather Seats Attractive exterior aesthetics (purely subjective of course) Heated and Ventilated Seats in 1st and 2nd Rows Moonroof opens up the cabin for rear passengers Alcantara Suede Like Headliner HUD which includes BSI and Navigation Directions 21 Cubic Feet of storage with 3rd row up Plenty of legroom in the 3rd row even for adult passengers Plenty of USB ports and Cupholders throughout the vehicle Attractive glossy black 20" Rims Easy To Use, large touchscreen (10.25") with Appleplay Great Highway Drive Assist feature (much like Tesla's autopilot) Cons: Don't know about long term reliability given its a first year vehicle Resale Value Unclear Fairly average drivetrain and fuel economy We were also looking at the new Mercedes GLE/GLS, Audi Q7, Honda Pilot, Honda Odyssey, Chrystler Pacifica Hybrid, MDX, and XC90... all great vehicles but none of them checked all the boxes like the Telluride. Some of the aforementioned luxury brands cost tens of thousands more as well without the same features.

Surprise for my wife - now I want one...

I drove my top 3 choices before deciding which also included the Traverse and the Atlas. After thoroughly researching and checking out all 3, I had to go with the Kia. My wife had no idea. In fact when I surprised her her reaction was a bit disappointing “what is that... a Kia?” She knew I would be surprising her with a new SUV but thought it would be the Atlas. Nope - a white EX with hitch, cross rails, and the lovely clamshell yo top. So, why the Kia - simple, hands down it best the other two in multiple categories for my personal tastes. Looks: it’s an eye-catcher with a sturdy luxury look on the outside. Inside, it’s plush, comfy, rich looking, and full of tech. But it was really the drive that sold me. It’s quiet in comparison to the others and significantly less “busy” than the Atlas. Some say the VW character is a selling point but that transmission was way too hectic for me and I can’t imagine my wife would’ve appreciated that feel. The traverse was I initially my first choice but wasn’t nearly as refined or seemingly luxurious and the road noise was similar to my minivan. Still learning the vehicle but with 6 children (5 still at home) I opted for the EX so we had seating for 8. The middle bench is a benefit as it is wider than the 3rd row and gives us that extra option for rearranging kids and/or fitting all the friends. We’ve taken it on a 1,200 mile trip already and the clam shell and tow hitch bike rack turned this into a bonafide family mover vacation unit. As much as I loved our minivan I much prefer the styling and the ride of the Telluride. The lack of cargo space in comparison is made up for with that clamshell (and the under storage I the back is nice too). This has plenty of “pep” even in comfort mode. I’ve owned a lot of vehicles throughout the years and this is hands down my favorite. In the next 2 years I’ll grab one for myself as well. The only negative I can think of is that EX and SX are different trims. Perhaps make them the same options available? I would’ve been happy to spend more for the SX options (such as NAPA leather, memory seat settings, panoramic sunroof, fog lights, etc.) but still retaining the bench seat. I don’t care about 20” tires; they look great but the ride on these 18’s is phenomenally balanced. Anyhow, hope this helps. Love the Telluride and will wait a bit but expect to have two in our household sooner than later. I may even get a matching pearl white (unless I see a new dark mustard or burnt orange-ish color come along..).
