Is The Telluride Still The Best 3-Row In America? | 2022 Kia Telluride Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- The boxy Telluride has been an enormous success for Kia. In the past Kia has offered logical alternatives to the Highlander but none that really were designed to be "segment busters." That all changed with the new Telluride because with this new model Kia decided they needed to be best in class when it came to legroom, 3rd row room, cargo room, towing, design, and of course their traditional value proposition. They may not have hit all the targets (there are a few roomier options), but the combination of room, style and value is pretty hard to beat. Clearly the market agrees because the Telluride is one of the hottest new vehicles on the market right now.

I love my 19 Telluride EX AWD. It tows my 23 ft boat without breaking a sweat. Zero issues to date w 69K miles.
Alex, you are a true professional, I especially appreciate your comparison charts and reference them over and over gain for deciding between options. Please also consider cabin noise comparisons and rankings at highway speeds just as you do for interior/exterior dimensions. Keep up the excellent work.
He already does noise readings - he's one of the few who do.
We love our '21 Telluride SX. Got it for MSRP in May of last year (some dealers have been charging over MSRP since the Telluride first launched, even before the recent market craziness, but we found a great dealer). It absolutely nails what it is trying to be -- a spacious, comfortable, stylish crossover that offers a lot for the money. We came from a '16 Acura MDX and we like the Telluride better in almost every way.
Yes, I was just at a Kia dealer in south FL yesterday. They were adding a market up of at least $10K to the few Tellurides I saw on the lot. One $46K Telluride had a $12K market to a price of $58K!
@@rojjo I’m looking in south Florida as well for multiple males/models. Have you found any legit dealers around here? Thanks
I would love to have a hybrid version of that vehicle. Kia could go the route they used for their other hybrids and I wouldn’t mind.
I'm sure part of the issue is they already can't build enough of them as it is.
@@bfish9700 I know that they are selling well, but I am done buying vehicles that aren’t at least an HEV. Because KIA uses a “pancake” electric motor, it doesn’t take as much engineering to turn a vehicle from an ICE only to HEV. HEV batteries are tiny (
100%, if they have the hybrid, it would even top the category in sales.
@@oi32df it means using the electric motor to replace the torque converter that connects the engine to the transmission, changing the starter into a starter/generator and the air conditioning to be electric instead of belt driven.
@@polleyjw Hyundai Kia is focused on going all-electric in the near future. EV9, a Telluride-sized BEV is coming out in 2023.
A hybrid Telluride would be perfect!
I love my 2022 Telluride. Kinda disapointed they changed the headlights on the 2023. But still looks the same. A very good SUV for the price.
They changed more than just the headlights...they changed the sculpting around the headlights, the grill, and the whole front bumper. The "chin" is now much more emphasized. I'm not sure I like it as much. It veered a bit off "sturdy but elegant" and is now leaning toward "trying too hard to look butch."
But the 23 integrated infotainment display I think looks so much better than 22.
@@rogersmj exactly. Makes me want to trade mine in for something else. And i havnt had it a year yet
"Fuel economy hasn't been Kia's 'Forte' in the past" 🥁
5:20 for anyone wondering.
Need to offer the 2nd row bench for the SX trim! There some option you can't get at lower level. Sometime we like to carry 5 peoples with stuffs in the back! Currently all the dealer are selling with 5k-7k MAP!
Agreed. The Explorer offers a bench in all models and then I believe you have to go up to luxury models to get the bench.
I love the look of the 2023 front end. I always hated how the amber marker light circled the headlight. Kia and Hyundai have really come along way in recent years. 15 years ago I wouldn’t even consider them and now I’d take a Kia over a Toyota only because Toyotas are so expensive and don’t option their base models well. And as far as reliability, I honestly don’t see much difference between the 2. From personal experience owning both a Toyota and Kia and all the people I talk to who own them, their in the same ballpark. It goes with any vehicle, as long as you take care of it, it should be reliable…except for a Dodge, Chrysler, Chevy, Buick, Cadillac or BMW
Lol, the Toyota fanboys are going to troll you if they see this comment but what you’re saying is true, it’s not the 90s anymore. Most mainstream brands in America except for VW and ford are pretty reliable and the gap between most reliable, more reliable and reliable is so small nowadays. As long as you maintain your car, it’ll last and you’ll be happy
Don't forget to add Jeep to the least of vehicles that lack reliability
I subjectively love the amber lights. And snobby me can see the lower-trim Tellurides and laugh as they go by. Only kidding. Kind of.
Toyota is so overrated. Same with Subaru. And both Japanese brands are fugly if you ask me.
I was the same way… would’ve laughed if someone said I’d be driving a Kia but hey… not much to argue about here, it’s a solid vehicle.
We even sold our Model Y for it- much more family friendly and practical despite using gas.
It's the best overall package in the non-luxury 3 row market and depending on your needs it's a better overall pick than some premium/luxury 3-rows too. For me after test riving one here's what I found its biggest strengths are;
1) Exterior styling - It appeals to the masses with a strong, rugged capable Range Rover kid of look.
2) Interior Size - Boxy design and generous width and height gives great interior room across 3 rows for the class in decent comfort.
3) Safety- All modern safety features standard across the board and decent led headlights.
4) Features/Functionality - Easy to operate touch screen and good use of easy to use buttons/switches.
5) Cargo - Again, design lends to great overall cargo space in it's class.
6) Quality/value: It's a great blend of decent quality and value at it's recommended msrp.
7) Warranty: Longest warranty in it's class along with Hyundai Pallisade.
Weaknesses: (again subjective after testing):
1) Handling - Many won't care or notice and not a deal breaker but if you test drove it with say a Mazda CX-9 back-to back you should notice the Mazda more engaging to drive, which makes it a bit more sporty feeling and a better feeling of control and awareness of where the vehicle is pointed through the steering wheel.
2) Performance: Not a weakness but it could do with a bit more low end torque. Once it's up and moving it's V6 is decently strong. If it could match the Pilot's stronger acceleration it would be top of it's class in this regard.
3) Seat Comfort: I said above the seat comfort is decent, but it could be better. It's nowhere near as comfy as say a BMW X5/X7 in seat comfort but it's not in that class to be fair. The seats could do with a bit more cushioning and side bolstering. They are large for all shapes and sizes up but not great for side bolstering to keep you in place a bit better.
4) Fuel Economy: No hybrid option yet and with the crazy gas prices right now it's not the most efficient thing on the road for a family hauler. 22mpg isn't anything to write home about.
5) Engine Options: Kia could offer a hybrid/fully Electric variant in the future, or a more fuel-efficient turbo option or for now up the low end torque in the 3.8L.
Overall a fantastic vehicle in it's class and it continues in high demand for good reason!
refresh is definitely a step forward. best looking large SUV.
Every Kia video of yours I watch, I just wait to be informed that fuel economy has never really been Kia's forte.
Fun fact, Kia's original logo was an oval because they were a contract manufacturer for Ford in Asia, and it allowed them to easily swap badges on the assembly line, depending on whether the car was being sold as a Ford or a Kia. It was literal badge engineering.
Yep. Ford later sued them, unsuccessful. Same with Jeep and Hummer over the grille.
So glad you threw the Chevrolet traverse in here Alex, it's a criminally underrated vehicle.
It sells fairly well. It's spacious, but not technically very interesting.
Nothing touches the Traverse on interior space in the class. It needs a more interesting interior, particularly given its price, but I do believe it deserves mentioning in the class.
Yeah but it's criminally hideous...thought it was a minivan at a quick glance.
Love that you added in the tape measure segments to the cargo sections. Shows why you're one of the best in the business.
I just wish I could actually find one at MSRP anywhere close to me. Ever since they launched, they have been marked up at LEAST $10k all around me before the pandemic even began.
Love the car but hate the dealers w/ crazy markups!
Two SX Prestige models at a Kia lot here have $10K markups. The Acura dealer across the street has MDXs at the same $60-62K. There is NO WAY I'm taking a Kia over the MDX, dollar for dollar.
The Telluride is still best in this segment as long as it doesn’t have those insane mark-ups!
Ruined by dealers and mark-ups that lift the price into luxury brand territory.
although for what it offers, this thing can be considered a great alternative from the traditional luxury brands if you don't already consider this a luxury car because its seriously comes packed and loaded with features
“Fuel economy hasn’t exactly been Kia’s Forte…”. Good one. JAYZ, eat your heart out!
Telluride is hands down my choice in this segment. I'm interested in what the next Pilot will offer. We will see it this year after the launch of the Civic Type R according to a leaked Honda roadmap from an employee. Only one group of spy shots have been displayed but that was over a year ago.
Only thing I like about pilot over this is AWD system, I am really curious as well what they bring in new version in other aspects that it is way behind in, interior mostly.
@@kyron2092 completely agree on everything you said. I might still end up getting one from generation or one with 6 speed from few years ago. I need one for occasional use and planing to get BRZ for daily.
@@ruturaj47 yeah I've seen owners with the 9 speed have a bunch of issues with it but the 6 speed owners aren't, it seems pretty much bulletproof
I really like 7 seaters SUV... I got Santa FE XL 2015, then i changed to a Santa FE 2019 7 seaters (smaller than Santa FE XL) , then i changed to CX9 2020... I tried Honda Pilot during an half week, i also tried Palisade... Finally i decided to get Telluride 2022 GT line trim 8 Seaters ( same trim than SX ) . This is the best 3 ROW SUV so far i've ever had!!!! Little bit shorter than CX9 but much more space room inside !!!
Reason why i didnt chose Honda Pilot : exterior looking was'nt enough stylish, the panel control LCD is ... so slow, laggy...
Reason why i didnt choose Palisade : Exterior looking is a little bit too soft, not enough masculine style... Interior is Great, but i really don't like the button for Driving! I prefer to keep Gear lever on the Telluride.
Telluride won the award of the world car of the year 2020, and also Telluride has been Named Best 3-Row SUV for Families for Third Consecutive Year in US
Kia/Hyundai dealer esperience is on of the worst in the industry. We need to be able to bypass dealers and buy direct.
True but remember it’s about the car not the brand
Thr dealer experience may be terrible but you get a much better quality vehicle
@@naveenthemachine For a lot of major work you have to go through the dealership to get any warranty work done and to get any of the TSB and Safety Recall work done. Remember when Kia was denying warranty work for engines if you did not come in to get the knock sensor installed at the dealership? Who would want to deal with that?
@@moloono1 well you have to go to the dealership to get any warranty or tsbs done for any manufacturer including Toyota
@@naveenthemachine That’s right, but the OPs point is that Kia/Hyundai have the worst dealer experience and there’s no way to avoid it. Before you say “Toyota has bad dealerships too!” It’s generally accepted that Kia/Hyundai have the worst dealership experience in the industry overall.
@@moloono1 toyota's dealerships are worst. Quit crying and loosen your panties bud
Kia logo looks a lot better than previous one. It would look really nice if the logo is blacked out too…
5:21 I love how Alex coolly drops a Kia pun without skipping a beat.
just picked mine up, same exact model being reviewed down to the color, car is amazing, no regrets trading in my MDX
I would take a telluride or a Palisade instead of a new Highlander but an older Highlander like 2017 2020 looks much nicer
I would take the telluride palisade over any Toyota Highlander or even the new Toyota Sienna. But vs the 2020 and older sienna that’s trickier
It’s worth it to me to drive or fly out-of-state to get the car I want at a better price. A lot of people eliminate that as an option and only look at dealers within 30 miles.
We travelled 350 miles to a neighbouring city and saved 12K on a 22’ Pallisade Calligraphy, it’ll be delivered in 3 weeks! It’s crazy to me that some people don’t bother searching outside their local dealerships
@@ohyeah5806 are there any registration fees that need to paid to the state outside your residence? I don’t want to pay more fees/taxes.
@@Elricky124 My understanding is that regardless of where you purchase a car, the registration fees are based on your place of residence.
Is this the quietest interior in its category?
I like the new KIA logo but I would definitely remove it from the back...it would definitely look better and no one would wonder who the manufacturer is.
What an absolutely fantastic breakdown and review here. I really enjoyed all the side-by-side detailed comparisons. That really helps!
Thanks for long form insightful comparative review. Great job Alex.
As always, you help me so much. This is my #1 go to for reviews
Excellent work playing Telluride by Spyro Gyra, that wasn't lost on me 😀👍
I like the new KIA logo, but it's just so big. Also, the obligatory joke about how the new logo says KN.
Hybrid option or a mildly tuned v6 turbo will absolutely transform the telluride/palisade.
The NA 6 cylinder does the job ok, but it's lacking low end juice, not to mention how hyundai/kia programmed the transmission (lazy shifts)
Turbo = oil dilution. Look at current hondas - their engines are no good anymore due to turbo
@@sojourner3300 yes, but i wonder what percentage of people keep their cars nowadays for 200,000+ miles. The old reliable hondas and toyotas of the 90s and 2000s are mostly gone now. Maybe that's by design, to keep making money from selling cars. Also selling you parts for repair.
@@sojourner3300 There are millions of turbos around the world without oil dilution problems. That's a specific engine design problem. They have several fours that would be credible for basing a hybrid on.
Hyundai and Kia are currently ranked 11th and 19th in reliability, respectively. This is for the 2202 Consumer Report data. I should mention that this is owner-reported data, for what it’s worth. Lexus, Mazda, and Toyota are top 3. Seems like the only thing that’s changed since the 90s and 2000s is Honda.
@@moloono1 this argument used to mean something 20 years ago.
Modern cars are all mostly reliable. And we're just splitting hairs at this point. I've owned anything and everything from Honda, toyota, mazda, Nissan, vw, bmw, hyundai, etc.
I currently have a bmw x3 and a hyundai santa cruz. My parents drive a palisade.
And I've had to bring my cars in for warranty fixes here n there.
Just makes me chuckle everytime some old timer brings up consumer reports debate into today's discussion.
Getting the exact one in October, can’t wait. Thanks for the video 🇨🇦
Refreshes are likely planned years in advance. I'm sure the refresh was in the works before they knew it would be successful as it has been. I have a 2020 SX Prestige and will likely keep it for 5 years. The 2023 has some updates but enough trade in for.
But I don't see much changes other than the exterior and new trims. You could say it's a light refresh.
Awesome review as always Alex. I have learned so much in last few years watching your videos, especially about AWD system, transmission, engines that many don't cover as in details as you. I noticed the towing connector 7 pin on back, was that standard as well? I am just curious as you don't usually cover those.
It only gets 21 mpg ! How can it be the best?
My wife wants a hybrid 3 row SUV bad. We got a new Sienna and it can't be beat, but she still has that whole "mini vans are lame" stigma.
Looks like the Telluride still has a pretty unusable storage behind the third row compared though
Kia is killing it with a number of their new cars and redesigns
I'd agree but what does that have to do with this review?
@@theMLBfan that this is another really slick kia design.
@@ianemory5800 Again, I'd agree but you specified their new car and redesigns. This is still the older version of the telluride that's been out for a couple years. The redesign/refresh just debuted at the NY auto show. Is that the version you were referring to?
@@theMLBfan I'm speaking of new as in thier most recent redesigns spanning the past few years. The K5 both base and Gt/Gt line, Telluride, the Forte, the Sportage, all have had redesigns in the past few years that look really good.
The most common question you'll get if you own this is "What's a K backwards N?" 😆
Telluride and Palisade seem to kill the Pilot.
They also kill the Highlander. Oh wait it already did. And to save time, they also killed the rumored grand Highlander
I like this version better than the palisade but don't care for the redesign and I LOVE the 2023 palisade. I have to say I don't care for the fact these don't get a pano roof. That (and I prefer the dial shifter) are about my only criticisms. I might buy a plug-in hybrid if they offered one. My only other issue is dealer gouging. I'm waiting until things calm down to get a new vehicle.
I wanted to buy a telluride but their dealerships pushed me to the 2022 MDX
enjoy the transmission problems
@@maga6319 username suits you well
@@abcdLeeXY no seriously, you will regret it due to transmission problems
Good luck trying to find a dealer that is willing to see you one less than 10K above MSRP. So, NO PRICE advantage...
Not sure why you went through all the effort here re-reviewing this. The 2023 model refresh revealed at the NY Auto show has pretty significant changes and new trims. The one you’re showing has the new logo.
Markup to MRSP in South Carolina has been at least $5000 or more.
I was at the auto show in Ny and I have to say the palisade takes the cake. More luxurious and power everything.
Not power folding mirrors though, which is annoying...
Dealers seem to think so with their $30k ADM.
If this car gets a hybrid model I am absolutely sold
Hi Alex
Why does the scorecard say compared to 3 row CUVs under $80,000? What’s a CUV? Also, if the Telluride is a step above the Sorento why so many references to the Sorento? I would think the competition for the Telluride would be the Palisade, Pathfinder, Pilot, Explorer, Durango and the Chevy (can’t think of the name).
if they can come out with a hybrid of this, they have a sales winner on their hands.
I have a '22 Telluride SX - love it. It's truly a very comfortable, quiet, and easy vehicle to drive and own, and the incredible number of features (rear seats are heated/cooled, dual sunroof, advanced safety features), along with the outstanding room in the third row were both very important to me. As a result, I was willing to pay 2K over sticker, but I agree with most who posted - do NOT pay 10K over sticker for this vehicle, even if you love it. No family vehicle is worth that kind of markup. If you are willing to pay that much, consider a Genesis, Acura, Lexus...
22.5 mpg....BLAAAAAAHHHHHH
I love how Alex do Forte joke for every Kia review🤣
“I am the way, the truth, and the life!” Jesus answered. “Without me, no one can go to the Father.
John 14:6 CEV...
Every dealer and their markups for this ride. This ain’t even affordable anymore lol.
+$8,000 for "Market Adjustment" in N. California on a loaded SX. Totally NOT worth that kind of mark-up gouging
I guess if they can sell it that much, it means some people will buy it that much.
I would rather pay markups on a kia telluride or palisade than markups for a Toyota Highlander
For the same price ($61k-65k-ish) you can get into a Volvo XC90 hybrid because of the $7,500 federal tax credit and California's rebates. 455hp, 55mpg. That's what I ended up doing.
Excellent presentation. Very informative. Sold!
The new logo is tastefully done well and the old logo was dated and screamed cheap..👏🏿
kia needs to put the collapsible 2nd row seat from the carnival for easy 3rd row seat access...
Sorrento is definitely smaller in the 3rd row and Cargo area. Also sorrento reminds me more of a minivan than a SUV...
Removing ugly Ki logo as a MUST!
english
Hmmm..... It needs the Stinger's engine in there.
Weird no mention of the Atlas in this video. You can get them much cheaper now than really any of the comparisons mentioned.
There's a reason they're cheaper. Hint: VW recently announced they are abandoning the 'Americanization' of their product line and going back to when they were Audi lite.
The Atlas is a big crossover and that's about the only advantage it has. It is noticeably cheaper than its competitors inside hard plastics everywhere.
@@th003g I understand their future intent, but its a vehicle available now and for the foreseeable future that is a better value.
@@kayakkevin nothing is a better value in this segment than the Telluride or Palisade, the sales show it. Plus, reliability is a problem with the Atlas.
@@MDKN22 I havent seen anything about reliability with the Atlas. I do know, my friend with a palisade had his transmission go out at 45k miles for whatever thats worth.
@@kayakkevin oh it’s worth nothing… probably not true those are the most reliable automobiles.
Right price? The dealer markups were ridiculous even before the lockdown.
One Kia salesman told me that people will pay 10K over MSRP, whoever pay 10K over MSRP must be crazy and dumb.
I love the looks of the Telluride,,I don’t love the fact dealers are ripping people off by charging up to 12k over MSRP due to “low inventory market adjustment” and that KIA America seems to allow it to happen,,will never buy a KIA because of that.
Alex, what would you choose between new Pathfinder and Telluride? I think this comparison makes more sense than Highlander, Explorer or Traverse.
Alex, they just released the 2023 Telluride and you're doing a 2022 model year review? lol
Honestly the only direct competitors to this are the traverse and atlas, and MAYBE the pathfinder on a stretch, the other 3 row crossovers compete with the sorrento. That is why kia has both.
I really like the new logo. I think it looks classy and I much prefer it to the previous logo. Power folding seats sound cool but they’re slow. I prefer the manual function because of the speed. I’m a huge fan of the Nissan V6 motors but the amount of squeaks, shakes and rattles emitted from Nissan interiors will forever keep me away. Kia/Hyundai need to step it up with wireless phone connections on these top trim models. I also want them to allow me to purchase my large suv with 8 seats at the top trim level. I know the Highlander is technically in this category but the second and third row comfort aren’t even close. The Highlander should really be sold as a 5 seater. Better not let Sofyan hear you talking about those wheels. He thinks every vehicle should be all blacked out. I completely agree that the Highlander aligns better space wise with the Sorento. The Explorer looks handsome and has really strong motors but nothing more as fast as I’m concerned. SUPER thorough review 👍👍👍
Alex, can you explain how you measure cabin noise? Your numbers are much higher than other reviewers.
Well I disagree. I was originally going to buy the telluride for the towing ability, but dealers are charging $5 to 10k over msrp, crazy! Then the 22 pathfinder came out, with 6000 lb towing, 20% more than the telluride, and I actually got a discount! Its an awesome vehicle! Pathfinder wins, in my opinion.
I totally agree. Pathfinder is awesome
I like the Pathfinder, actually. MSRP, loaded Platinums are less than the Telluride. Plus you're likely to get a deal with Nissan. It has great performance now too. The Telluride is nice, but the hype is not worth markups.
@@hellkitty1014 I bought the SV Pathfinder with the Premium pkg to get the 6,000 lb towing and that SV version is a great deal because it includes Nissan's version of adaptive cruise control, plus you get moon roof and captains chairs in the 2nd row, tow hitch and 7-pin connector. I bought a separate brake control module and wiring harness for my RV. I am so happy with my Pathfinder!
@@ReachingOut22 great to hear! Yeah, with Tellurides, Palisades, and Highlanders routinely going for well over MSRP, the Pathfinder is diamond in the rough. Nissan did a quantum leap in styling and refinement over the previous model. The SV Premium has all that anyone would really need. Plus I really love Nissan's tried and true VQ-Series V6. That will likely be the last thing you'll ever have to worry about on the Pathfinder.
How do people afford these things? Like my wife and i make slightly more than the average household but would not spend that much bread on a suv
Love my '21 Telluride SXL Nightsky, got it for $2500 under MSRP here in Toronto, it was just there sitting on the lot when I went to the dealership, I know in US if you found something that's been sitting on their lot it's instant $5-10k markup. Good thing this car is not that hot here, but nowadays I'm seeing more and more of it.
When did you buy that?
@@kgindpls March '21
Maybe a time to travel to Tronto and bring back Telli to SoCal!
As a European, I find it bizarre that the Sorento is the small one. Here, it's the big one!
@alexonautos how does it stack up to the Palisade?
I’d love a performance hybrid system like in the RAM and Toyota Sequoia
Hopefully Hyundai/Kia have figured out the excessive oil consumption issue.
I wish the telluride Xl rumor was true, longer rear end for more cargo behind the 3rd row would be sweet. Might need some suspension tweaks for increasing payload and likely a worse departure angle but let's be honest that last on is rarely going to be an issue for the intended market outside of some fantasy of offloading thier crossover like a wrangler
Great crossover
I think the Kia's looks are wildly overrated
You'd think Pinafarina or Picasso designed this or something
It's looks are pretty bland and boring. The Palisade has the style this lacks, IMO
Alex by the way the traverse is more mini Suberban then minivan as minivans/station wagons are more big car and Full size SUVs and more truck so offroad worthy, can tow and have massive payloads... Which if you want those in a Van you need to ge a big van aka a full size coverstion van. Which costs the same if not more then a Full size SUV.
I'm starting to like the teliride as a budget Suberban which it is the same sizeish as my 2003 Suberban but costs $10 less then even that... So it is great as a vaule option if you can't aford a modern full size SUV but be warned it's meant for on road only unlike the old Suberbans at least and I guess the Traverse. Which can go offroad and do other truck things like tow and have massive payloads.
2021 owner here. Not loving the refresh for 2023…
Difficult to compare with the hybrid cars. the problem is there isn’t one available for telluride.
We have a hybrid we use for around town and our telluride is our trip cruiser. That 28-30 on highway isn’t all that bad and a hybrid probably wouldn’t improve that too much for the price increase it would demand. But I personally am all for any electrified version of the Telluride.
I would blackout the rear end Kia logo to match the "Telluride" badging color
Maybe they refreshed it *because* they can't keep up with demand. The 2023 is, to me, less attractive than the 2022 and older version. They should've left the exterior alone and just updated the interior. Then again, that might've created *even more* demand for it.
Looks like it's riding rough as hell.
I like the Telluride and Palisade but would only buy them as a hybrid. I would never ever buy a car above MSRP.
can't afford it.
@@maga6319 This guy, LMFAO
@@moloono1 triggered? LMAO

@@moloono1 yes. You are triggered
I second Alex's opinion about the black wheels. They would cause me to reject the Telluride.
Black wheel lives matter.
I'm totally the opposite. I'd never get it without the black wheels, so to reach their own.
@@rushmoresociety2577
To "reach" their own what?
I Doubt Kia/Hyundai will shoehorn their 1.6T/Hybrid combo into the Telluride/Palisades. (I have a Tucson HEV, possible oil dillution problem and other odd design choices)
So unless they are willing to develop a V6/HEV combo, which would bump up the price......
No way will they do that, as the gas mileage wouldn't be good enough. More likely would be a hybrid with a bigger four (2.5l?)
theirs no oil dilution problems in the tucson hev kid. Man you people just love making stuff up.
@@maga6319 do you have 1.6T +HEV in the Tucson or Sorento? Or a do you have the 1.6T in a non Hybrid product?
Are you a Mechanic that services Hyundai/Kia products regularly?
@@markmiller3279 I doubt that too. The point I was trying to make is, to keep cost low, Kia/Hyundai did not try to develop they Hybrid drive train beyond the 1.6T and 6 speed Auto. So unless there is a major profit involved, I doubt they will spend the R&D $$$ to fit a different Engine,Tansmission combo.
@@NoodlesExtraMSG an accquaintance of mine has a hybrid model and it has had any of that problem you've mentioned before.
How does this compare to vehicles which are rear wheel drive ?
If you’re upset of having to pay mark up, then maybe a slightly used one could work for you.. Oh wait, they’re more expensive used than new. So what would justify the sale of the new ones at MSRP?
Hey KIA, you should pre-load this video on your infotainment system.
I'm hoping to get a refreshed Palisade next year. hopefully the prices come down
I don’t like the new Kia logo. I liked the old one better.
??? The Explorer has a hybrid system??? How does that not compete?
Watching this after after watching refresh video makes it look so outdated. Especially dash
If this only comes with black rims, i'd get a good deal on tires/rims set.
