Love your reviews Kelly! Especially bc they are focused around safety and car seat set up!! I’m getting a 23 telluride in a few weeks as my mom car lol. Your 22 review helped me decide! Also, your bump so cute! Thank you!
I just got this exact vehicle with the exterior glacier pearl white and interior sage green (light gray with a hint of pistachio). The markup was 7.5k and I negotiated to only 3k. They threw in the infotainment system too so it was a wash. My wife absolutely LOVES IT. It feels, drives and looks like a million bucks, especially in this new trim.
In the sx trims, what you are describing with cruise control in the heads up display is displayed on the gauge cluster when you set the gauge cluster to dynamic mode. Its only on SX trims. Dynamic mode also adjusts to weather. Its display is sunny during day, sunset at night, when it's raining there are raindrops, thunder, lightening, and even snow. Also, every 30 minutes, or hour, based on your settings. The lumber will massage your back for 5 minutes.
this Telluride is impressive. I love your mom perspective of kids in multiple stages of car seats. I always come to your channel for all the suv info. Extremely helpful, thank you.
Kelly would you be able to do a review of the new Mazda CX-90 and also compare it to the Kia Telluride? Deciding between these two models for my family and enjoy how you actually talk about the practical use for families with small kids and carseats. Thanks!
For those of you with a telluride. With the third row up would you be able to fit maybe 3 carry on size luggage in the back? Looking at this for my mom car and want a third row but I live 10 hours from family so we’d also need enough cargo space for traveling to see them
First, how are you 6 months pregnant? You look great! This vehicle is going to put Kia in the lineup for me. I was stuck on the GMC, but trying to justify that price tag for the Denali is not working out. I actually like the extra little space in the 3rd row. I put two adults and a small child or two small children and an adult and it works out fine. I'm not worried about car seats ATP. Thanks for reviewing this one.
I have two kiddos in forward facing car seats and one on the way. Looking at this car and the Hyundai palisade. I’m thinking the oldest will be in the very back, the middle child will be behind the drivers seat and the baby will be behind the passenger. I can move the seat behind the driver with the lower under seat lever to give my oldest room to get in and myself room to tighten his straps right? The bottom lever will glide the seat forward even with the forward facing seat installed?
We test drove tthe xline lovedd the features but went with a 23 sel with premium package had more bang for the value, better equiped and several thousand dollars cheaper
2024 models they're bringing back the amber front lights again. Which trim offers the Ambient interior lights? only thing I hate they don't explain much between trims besides colors
I heard in another review that they still don’t have wireless apple car play. That’s annoying! What’s the point in having the wireless charger for your phone if you have to have it plugged in to do apple car play anyway??
Hello. Thanks for all your informative videos. Which mid size SUV do you believe is the largest? I’m 6’7” with a growing family and I’m looking for an SUV for the family. I’d love full size but I can’t swing a min of 60K. Also what do you like better, Telluride or Palisade?
Traverse, then atlas and then telluride/palisade/explorer are all about the same. The only one substantially larger .than them is the traverse, it has roughly 12 cubic feet more space all around if I remember correctly
I wish they would add the kick instead bc it can just open up when you get behind. Maybe they have improved that. We have a smaller garage. I know you can disable it though..
Nice review my friend has the 2020 kia telluride I love the interior with the cross hatch stitching and heated seats is what turned me on power is ok it's little quick also you can see your blind spots on mirror or backup camera I forgot the new one is a big improvement
these suvs are so adorable and cozy warm i love how big the tailpipe is it pumps out so much warm exhaust and puffs nice fluffy smoke in the cold and can hold a ton of weight to very cute suv
You did a great job! I'm a 50 year old single woman with no kids and was listening like...hmmm that is true, no little butt can safely fit in that 7th seat!!! Maybe it is for training kids to buckle in their babies? Lol
Awesome review!! I'm so torn between this and the Palisade. I know they're fraternal twins but wondering, which twin do you like best lol? Any differences between the two when it comes to handling at all?
@@Mickieshelton I had a 2020 and now have the 2022 (lease up and the ‘23 wasn’t ready). I love the vehicle. It was an upgrade to the SXP from the EX first time around. I love taking off on busy roads with heavy traffic in Sport Mode or accelerating onto highway or in NY/Jersey traffic if we’re really moving. I have seen more on the road lately than ever. I never test drove the Palisade (maybe that’s a NY vs. NJ thing. Lol) though. I saw that on YT reviews when I was deciding whether to buy a Telluride in the first place. I never considered another crossover after I drove the Telluride. Although I did go around getting in and out of the others in the same class to check roominess (I’m 5’11”) and features.
love the videos, but some of the features you're saying are new have been there since 21. blind spot camera, heated and ventilated second row for examples
@12:00 I like the child seat anchor in the middle. Why waste a seat, plus it’s easier for adult in captain chair to reach the child in the back center. Best way, They should add anchor behind every seat.
Can you fit comfortable and safe as the driver or passenger with rear facing car seats in the second row? This is the issue we run into with our 2015 Durango. My husband is 6’3 and it’s impossible for him to ride or drive safely because his knees are hitting.
Ohh yea. Plenty of space in the front row and second! My husband can put the seat all the way back without touching our center seat rear facing nuna rava.
Can we stop the nonsense already, the redesign of the front and rear end is a total miss. Should have left that alone. One thing they should have done I mean how hard is it to hide the rear wiper under the rear brake light and make the area look really clean. No hybrid or Ev model yet? Also, would have liked to see electric tilting and telescopic steering wheel and a beefer arm rests for the rear caption chairs. Since there is no nightfall edition, I wonder how many customers will be doing a blackout of the chrome pieces. Can we add exhaust tips to the driver side please. I thought about trading in my 2021 sx-p nightfall for a 2023 model but after seeing what they did to the front and rear end, I think I will keep mine. Everything else that were redesigned were what customers were asking for, so I guess Kia listened. It will be interesting to see how the 2023 model sells compared to other years.
All that tech added…agree on design but the interior looks amazing and outside can black out if needed. You can probably trade it in and keep same pymt…
It selling like hot cakes. They are literally gone within a few days. Guess buyers didn't care much for the few "Negatives"you pointed out for this fantastic car.
Wish they left the front end alone and added a higher tow package towards 6k we love our 2020 sx but not 100% on board with this 23' redesign. I will say the comfort of the telluride is amazing and very spacious for the 5 of us. 😎
You know what else is impossible...the captains chairs buried seatbelt anchors for when your kid is in a booster and they can never get buckled on their own. Who's bright idea was that?!?! Unbury those suckers!!!
It also digs into your hip when you are an average size adult sitting in those seats. I noticed that right away when sitting there because the buckle is buried and at the worst angle.
I’ve watched a few of your reviews and still haven’t heard a single mention of the most important feature of a vehicle… the powertrain. Typical woman only caring about aesthetics and not what actually matters. I bet you’re a blast to go car shopping with #highmaintenance
I don't care if you're pregnant and taller than me, I'd still tap that. Take is as a compliment. That is a beautiful SUV. My sister just bought one of these yesterday because of you.
$10k premium is for real???? even if you order it and wait rather than taking one in the lot? SX $50k + $10k? = $60k !!!! If it is then walk away.. go to Acura dealer and shop for MDX, the chance is only paying MSRP if you order and wait.
There are a lot of dealers that don't charge Mark ups just have to shop around. We got my wife's last year at msrp when we ordered, they only required we order two options, which ended up being upgraded floor mats and a cargo mat or something, ended up being about $300 extra.

Omigosh 😂 it made my day
LOL RIGHT?? LOL. 🤦♂️

I hope Kia takes her advice and suggestions on behalf of all us families
“What is sitting here?!” I am cracking up 😂😂 but I still love the Telluride

I bought my wife the XPro last week in Wolf Grey and she absolutely loves it
Heated and ventilated seats are not new for 2023. That feature has been available since 2019/2020 with Prestige package
Just bought this as a new mom. Glad I found you 😁
Review camera not standard only for
The prestige and up. Would be nice if could add it as an option on other trims
Best line….” American Girl doll seat”. Please … Someone hire her to work and design the best mom car!

What car do you suggest for 3 kids in carseats?
You said for the bench seat you wouldn’t recommend this vehicle. Which one would you recommend?
Not bad. I was slow coming around to the new colors and black wheels but this one looks sharp.
I have a 2021 BMW X5 and I am considering this truck. It's stunning
How much was the 2021 X5?
Bragging about your car I see
Kia is the master at taking basic materials and implementing them in their cars creativity.

Is this the EX, SX Prestige or SX, X-Line?
My wife just bought the 2023 Kia Sorento SX. It’s a beautiful car.
I heard in another review that they still don’t have wireless apple car play. That’s annoying! What’s the point in having the wireless charger for your phone if you have to have it plugged in to do apple car play anyway??
So that you can charge your phone wirelessly at any given time. Crazy idea 🤯

Great vid but you only have to stand at the rear to open the tailgate…no kick needed!
I wish they would add the kick instead bc it can just open up when you get behind. Maybe they have improved that. We have a smaller garage. I know you can disable it though..

Did they fix the tether issue in the 2024 version?
American girl doll, this was the best 😂and so honest and why we may not get it
Need to know: can 2024 Telluride bench seats fit 3 car seats across?!
Great job, Kelly!!

You are really on here trying to brag about being 50, single and no kids. Sorry but you drank the coolaid.

Like the 2023 Palisade Calligraphy more!
Awesome review!! I'm so torn between this and the Palisade. I know they're fraternal twins but wondering, which twin do you like best lol? Any differences between the two when it comes to handling at all?
Trying hard to rent a Telluride for awhile...lol
Reviews of the early Telluride say it’s the sportier, peppier version of the two. Not sure if that still holds.
@@maxhr1749 it looks better in general...Palisade is probably butter smooth. My best friend had one in San Diego last year...very comfortable.

Can the third row fit a rear facing car seat? Like on the drivers side.

Which X line is this, KIA has way to may trims to pick from it just makes it confusing
I’ve heard about an internal “family camera”. Is this a real thing??
They got rid of the cool amber ovals around the lights!
I actually wasn’t a fan of the amber lights
@@kevind8752 why not? I genuinely am curious. I can see better at nite in my ‘22 vs. my old ‘20.

Can you do the gmc terrain review? 😁
