I have a SX X-Line and it's been better than advertised. Beautiful interior, smooth ride, wonderfully practical features (surround view camera, heated & cooled seats, blind spot camera, an AWD switch, etc). The ride is smooth and the X-line has 8.4 inches of ground clearance so you get a great view from the driver's seat and can move confidently during heavy rain / snow. Considered the VW Atlas & Honda Pilot. Glad I didn't compromise. In-person this looks better and if you're online you know it rates better everywhere.

I purchased a new 2024 Telluride with in a week my infotainment screen would be blank when started which meant you have no back up cameras and can't change your radio the dealer told me there is a small reset hole which you can stick a pen in to reset your screen but at 60,000 you shouldn't have to reset the screen been in the shop 5 times to fix at one point they said the wires were crossed this didn't work had to wait 2 months for corporate to approve new unit installation. Then went through the local touch less car wash and all my door trim started blowing off the dealer tried re-glue back on which did not work after a few more washes all the trim was flapping in the wind had to used good old duct tape hold temporarily while I'm waiting for new trim on back order. This problem is now a recall issue. Then I had pink liquid puddles on my new concrete driveway that ended up being a radiator hose fitting leak which they fixed. Also my music station and seats were changed when I went to start the vehicle I believe they have a computer problem with this vehicle. You have a lock and unlock buttons in door but they do not work when you want to leave the vehicle and lock you doors you have use the door handle why have the buttons. The gas mileage is absolutely terrible approximately 16 miles to a gallon. Also on the screen it will show your availability gas mileage the screen will show say 24 miles per and suddenly change 12 for example the average cannot drop like that if you have say 6,000 miles thats not possible this happens often. Just waiting to get fixed so I trade this in on another vehicle which will cost you thousands. My trim level is an x pro with a towing package. DO NOT BUY!

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!

The trim level we desired was the SX Prestige X-line because of the HUD but it going to cost about $60K with taxes and all. Looked at stepping back to the SX X-Line but it's only about $2K less. Consider instead the Hyundai Palisade which is essentially the same vehicle. HUD is included in the limited edition and it doesn't have those ugly black painted wheels. Also the Palisade Limited has features not offered on the Telluride such as auto dimming side view mirrors, and power folding and heated 3rd row seats for $7-8K less.

We’ve had it for 3 months and, so far, this is the best car we have ever owned. It has so many top of the line features and gizmos that we are discovering new ones almost every time we drive it. The V6 is very quiet and responsive and, for a car this large and heavy, the gas mileage is reasonable. The stop/start feature is jerky and annoying, but easily defeated with the 10 minute installation of an Autostop. I like the fact that, unlike many cars in its class, it doesn’t have a tiny 4 cylinder with a turbocharger strapped on to it. Because they operate using exhaust gases, turbos get extremely hot and the engine oil passes through it, deteriorating the oil that lubricates the vitals of the engine. One feature of the Honda Pilot that was a deal breaker for me is their cylinder deactivation system. Several years ago before the system was fully thought out, it was installed and sold to the unsuspecting public and caused lots of problems. They’ve retweaked it several times, but the concept is problematic. I had a Pontiac V8 a few years back with the same system, and reports of excessive oil usage were legion. It was worrisome enough that I easily defeated the system with an ECM reflash, which cannot be done on the Honda. If not for that, we may have bought the Honda instead. The lengths that manufacturers are having to take to get an additional half a mile per gallon because of the unrealistic CAFE requirements are ridiculous. This is one really great car.
