Numerous problems

Besides all of the recalls there have been, they now have a faulty navigation system that I need to pay to get the update to fix it. Their system sends you on the wrong routes, and the route may change as you’re going adding hours to your trip. If their system is flawed, why am I paying for it to be fixed?

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

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.

So many great features and a nice touch screen make this easy to drive in any conditions. Automatic headlights are bright and safe. Quiet and smooth ride.

With less than 600 miles on my car so far I can honestly say the Kia Telluride is a great car that meets all my needs now. It has a great ride, the safety features are excellent for a senior citizen, and the overall design and interior details are first class.

I traded from a Toyota Highlander to a 2025 Pro prestige. Wish I still had my old car as the telluride has several issues that are very frustrating. First and most frustrating is that keyless entry system doesn’t always work and you can’t get in your car. Second, the engine is sluggish and delays moving forward at times when you step on the gas, leaving response for between the driver intent and with the car performance poor. Third the various drive modes don’t really work and interfere with driving the vehicle. Finally, the sticker gas mileage is nowhere near what you actually get and is far less. On the positive side, the heads up this way works well and so do the numerous safety features. The car also has a lot of room for storage in the back, but very limited storage space in the driver in front passenger area. I would not recommend this vehicle to a friend.

Great looks, capacity bigger than Ford or VW, Great service record. Ford difficult to get into with large step required to get in. Not so the Telluride. Ride is much smoother, stays on the road better with lower center of gravity.
