Great style, little substance.

I guess I should have realized you have to sacrifice something to get all the wonderful features and cool design at a more than reasonable price point. Unfortunately, for the Telluride, drive quality is mediocre at best. The bigger issue is reliability, specifically with the engine and electronics. Evidence is anecdotal, but of the three people I know who have 22 Telluride’s, two of them dealt with engine failure before hitting 30k miles. Around 20k miles, I started hearing a change in my engine and sold my telluride before I had a 17000 repair on my hands. (I already had to pay two grand to replace the condenser less than three months after purchase). The mechanics at my dealership said this is becoming a real problem. Our dealership is buying the failed engine tellurides back from the customers at cost. The mechanic I talked to said they had 9-10 Tellurides in the back of the dealer with failed engines. Not a great sign. Luckily, I traded mine in for a profit and got enough to purchase a new truck, so I’ll give it two stars for resale value.

Everywhere puts this car near perfect ratings. Car isn't bad, but it's far from perfect. Customer service though is HORRENDOUS from KIA. Had a minor issue soon after purchasing and it's been nearly a year and still not resolved. ***UPDATED*** KIA never was able to resolve, sold the vehicle for a Subaru Ascent, and in hindsight, very happy it worked out this way. Had we not had a dispute over their warranty issue (ended up costing us a measly $150, but glad it wasn't more), we would have never even thought about selling. In short, BEWARE!!!

Best Vehicle I’ve Ever Owned

I am so impressed with my 2022 Telluride. I went with the Glacial White Pearl and Nightfall/Prestige package AWD. This thing has everything. I didn’t know a vehicle could come with such things. It’s so nice and floats around like it’s hovering. Great fuel economy, an unbelievable amount of space. We have 4 kids and everyone rides so comfortably. We had a suburban before this and there is more leg room in the 2nd row and the same space in the 3rd. I LOVE it!

I have driven GMC Yukons for the last 9 years but was very happy to switch over to the Kia Telluride. Not only does the redesign look super cool and trendy, the technology and safety features for the price are fantastic. This car offers more than its luxury counterparts in the 3 row SUV category. I’m very happy with our purchase!

2022 Kia Telluride EX 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)

We got the EX because we need 8-passenger seating. I love the way it drives and the quietness. But it seems that the Telluride designers paid very little attention to anyone who needs either 8-passenger seating or even a 3-passenger second row. (Think about 2 adult passengers and a baby with second-row captains seats.) The middle seat in the second row bench seat has very poor legroom due to the protruding center console. You can't get both 8-passenger seating and some key features. For example: You can't get a good stereo. There are no speakers in the 3rd row. No Homelink (garage door remote). No surround view. No head-up display. No auto-dimming headlights. No nightfall package, no black wheels. No automatic wipers. Only two interior colors - black and gray. Etc. If you need 8-passenger seating you may want to look elsewhere. I've had my 2022 Telluride for 14 months and 12K miles; there have been no problems - not even a rattle.
