2024 Kia Telluride Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Love my telluride!!
I have had my telluride a little over 2 weeks and I have fallen in love with it. It's honestly my favorite car I have ever owned. My 160lb Cane Corso has lots of room in the cargo area which was the reason for buying this vehicle. Highly recommend!!

Too Many Trim Lines and Lack of Standard Features
Our vehicle (not a Kia) was totaled and we had a week to figure out which Telluride to go with once we decided we liked the model. Frankly, Kia has far too many trim lines that makes it incredibly difficult for the consumer to compare and contrast. We thought the EX AWD would fit the bill however features you would expect to be standard among any of the trims are not. There are nuances that no consumer could possibly know until they spend significant time inside the car messing around with the features to realize that what you see online and in their manuals don't apply to this model. If you are looking for a Telluride, opt for the SX trim line or above because it seems most of the major reviews online are based on the SX lines. Kia failed to make certain features standard across the trim lines that one would expect especially since it would more than likely reduce their manufacturing costs. Here are some of the major nuances that we did not know when we purchased the EX trim line. No garage door opener built into the rear view mirror. You can purchase one for $500 plus install. The cluster dash does not have an option to change the view to the round MPH and RPM view. It's a clunky and cheap looking number display. Remote start with this is only available via the Kia Connect App versus the Key FOB. The App requires an annual subscription of $100 plus. Door handles are not a touch and open/lock. You have to push a button on the handle to lock and unlock. Don't get me wrong its a nice looking and driving SUV. We've had it for 4 days. But I feel a bit duped, misled, and frustrated they make it such a difficult SUV to wrap your head around. I mean, how can you offer heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel and not offer a rear view mirror with a garage door opener or a way to change the dash view?!

Great Ride
I've had my Telluride almost a year. Still love it as much as the day I bought it. I travel a lot and drive many different rental SUVs. Ive always liked the Telluride and last year I had a chance to rent one for 11 days. I drove it about 1500 miles (city, highway, mountains) and found it to be one of the most comfortable cars ever. I typically have back problems on long drives. When driving the Telluride I had no back pain or soreness. When I needed a larger car to accommodate 2 car seats and all the goes with 2 kids the Telluride was a clear choice. Our other car is a Genesis GV70 and the Telluride is more comfortable and enjoyable to drive. Fuel economy isn't great but everything else is. Highly recommend the Telluride if you are looking for a comfortable and affordable mid size SUV.

What's not to like?
Good power, solid build, quiet ride and amazing interior, you would be hard pressed to find a 3 row SUV with the features the 2024 KIA Telluride offers. My only minor complaint would be the less than stellar gas mileage. .

Customer Services sucks
Three weeks after I bought the car, I discovered that the hood's heat shield was severely damaged. Neither the dealer, nor Kia customer services accepted to fix it. Both said it was "cosmetic damage," probably caused by a rodent. Therefore, it wasn't covered by the warranty. I spent 50k+ on the car. I am pissed.
