Acceleration and power are lacking.

It’s certainly a nice car, but the power and acceleration are certainly lacking. Also the gas mileage is pretty horrible. I have been averaging 17 in the city and 20 on the highway. My Silverado with the 6.2l engine gets better mileage, which is shocking. All in all, a very nice vehicle, but probably wont be keeping it very long due to the overall power train and mileage performance,

Tried not to like it but couldn’t

My wife and I test drove pretty much everything before we drove the 2025 Telluride SX Prestige X-Line. We really weren’t looking at a Kia to be honest. However we had read all the reviews and it just seemed to keep winning so we figured we had to try it. My wife loved it right away. It’s not the fastest, it doesn’t handle the best, and it’s not the most fuel efficient. However it does everything well, it’s smooth, quiet, easy to drive, has great visibility, and great cameras with easy to use tech. The reviews are legit. This suv is impossible to beat for the money. If you haven’t driven one, do yourself a favor and go drive one. Friends of ours have a 23 with just shy of 100k miles on it and have only done routine maintenance.

I’m am a car snob, I never 👎 thought I’d entertain a Kia until I accidentally rented one Mind blown 🤯 Excellent vehicle comfortable, easy handling, easy parking excellent safety features and great value im sold! It is comparable to the Mercedes and Audi SUV’s I’ve owned and I think I like it even better

Poor build quality. All the window trim fell off during the 1st year. There were 3 small dabs of glue holding trim on. It took 6 months for the replacement trim to arrive so I drove a less than 1 year old Telluride for 6 months with duct tape holding the trim on. What is the build quality for more substantial components? Glove box came with missing parts. Check engine light repeatedly goes off and dealer blew me off, saying it’s ok to drive across the country with light on and that they couldn’t analyze the error code. After repeated complaints they replaced the gas cap but refused to honor warranty and charged me. Minimal gauges, only warning lights, there is no way to monitor temperatures or pressures which is critical in a vehicle prone to check engine light activation. Multiple recalls. Fuel gauge failed for several days and again dealer couldn’t find anything wrong. 110 volt inverter pretty useless. Infotainment screen and radio controls are bizarre. Tuning knob zooms the screen rather than doing what it is supposed to in most screens. Headlights are aimed strangely and there is a dark spot right in front of vehicle which again dealer said is the way it is supposed to be. All these problems and more with poor dealer support made this vehicle unreliable enough that I traded it in when it had 18000 miles and was less than 2 years old.
