I own my Telly for 2 years now and it drives like the day that I received it. No outside noise, complete comfort as a driver and passenger and the storage is great. Hands down a much better ride than my previous Toyota and Cadillac.

Solid Telluride

My wife was traveling down a local highway at 65 mph when another driver blew a stop sign. My wife hit the other driver broad side at 65 mph. Both cars were totaled and the front of the Telluride was demolished. The amazing thing is that the cabin of the Telluride was intact other than the air bags. The windshield wasn’t even broken. The Telluride protected my wife. The paramedics who responded to the call told me that normally calls to that intersection are fatal. We replaced our totaled Telluride with a new 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!!

Dont let the tech win you over

While this car attracted me based on all the tech offered (i had the fully loaded X-line) I regret the purchase and got rid of it about 18 months after purchasing new (drove it only 18,000 miles). In that time I had to turn into body shop because the driver door was rubbing against the front quarter panel and wasn't properly aligned on the production line. Then 2 recalls - one for seat adjustment motor spontaneously combusting (and a warning to not park the car in your garage until fixed) and the other for the cars slipping out of park and rolling away (warning to engage emergency brake until fixed). Then all the exterior trim fell off all around the windows on each side (front and second row) and trim around the back gate. THEN interior trim started falling off - plastic box behind rear view mirror on windshield fell off and the triangular interior piece of trim on the drivers window fell off. Car did not easily pick up on key fob when in proximity to car. Gas mileage sucked at 15-16 mpg. Road noise was awful - people on the phone with me could hear all the bumps through the car phone - loud and awful. Positives? More tech offered than Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander when purchased in late 2023 - heads up display, 2nd row heated and ventilated seats, driver seat leg extender, valet mode, etc. Roomy 3rd row. Leather interior was nice. Never experienced these problems with a Toyota or a Honda especially in the first 18 months - will never buy a KIA again. Dumped it and bought a 2025 Honda Pilot and couldn't be happier!

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.
