I think you should mention that you are reviewing an EX trim level. The SX adds a lot more features such as memory seats, hud, 360 camera and driver features.
The Korean Tahoe. This platform is getting a little old but Kia can't build them fast enough to meet demand. This is probably one of the most important vehicles they've ever made. It changed perception of Kia from cheap crappy cars to premium but excellent value something for everyone. Kia realized there was more money in selling nice cars that people actually want to buy. The only problem I've heard is that the materials don't hold up over time.
The Stinger is most important IMO. KIA has had the Mohave/Borrego for a while now which is RWD based so that’s more of The Korean Tahoe. The Mohave is still being sold overseas till this day actually.
The Asian brands have most or all driver assistance features standard on even the base model. American carmakers have them optional, and you have to get a high trim to have the option to select them. When I bought my current car I didn't even consider anything American or European.
That's why I love Japanese cars, amazing value! The only cars I have legit hatred towards are some of the American SUVs from GM, just GM, the rest (Ford even Chrysler) are good.
Their trucks are decent because they pay the bills. The Corvette is pretty good too. Everything else is cheap and crappy. I had a relatively new Cadillac as a service loaner and it felt like I was in a Chevy that cost half as much. Cheap materials and some dumb design "features".
Koreans do a good job and too offer amazing values, but I'm not a fan of how they blatantly copy the German brands, like that center console looks soooo BMW
Kia + Hyundai + Genesis stole Audi's lead designer so it's not surprising. Don't forget that when Lexus broke into the luxury market, they'd reverse-engineered a Mercedes-Benz.

Beautiful Telluride so far, Zack! And you've reviewed this Telluride in one of my favorite colors, Glacial White Pearl!
Hold on... You stated that this is Kia's only 3 row vehicle. Are they discontinuing the Sorento, or removing its third row?
No. He just forgot that the Sorento has 3rd row
This. I did indeed forget.
Yeah, I really like that, I think I want one!
Is packed full of features! And is good looking.
Like me
Yeah the Asian brands give you most for your money, maybe that's why they are so popular in the states.

Kia is korean
@@vaccinatedanti-vaxxer Ik and they too offer good values, I mean their warranties and cheaper operating costs.
Old logo?
The new logo started on 2022 model years. 2021 was the last year of the old logo
GM sucks honestly, although their Fullsize SUVs and Trucks are nice and pretty good value.

@@bwofficial1776 That’s why only the fleet market is into them lol 😂
Very interesting

I know right? Speaking of BMW, I really don't like their new design language (i.e. M3 G80, M4 G82, M440i, i4, iX). They look terrible.
@@brianlee9233 I think the older bmws (late 2000s) looked better, the 2021+ ones are a bit awkward in comparison.
