2020 Kia Telluride SX V6 AWD Review - You Gotta Be CRAZY

[@keithclark9924]

I purchased SX V6 last week for 42k in the Memphis area. Only one on the lot. I actually got lucky because it was order for someone else with AWD and she did not want to pay the extra for AWD. I walked on the lot and test drove and the rest is history. I I think I got a great deal, especially since I woke up that morning going to look at Tahoes.

[@ducknorris233]

Keith Clark very lucky To find one o n the lot. What color was it? My wife took delivery of a black top of the line with the prestige and tow package. She ordered it in April because she wasn’t a fan of the Moss color.

[@stephenhendricks103]

A couple of points about the asking price of the Telluride and its availability. First, it isn't the case that all KIA dealers have attached "market adjustment" second stickers to their inventory. No doubt many have/are but others have not. My local dealer in the Seattle area, for example, has a policy against adding second stickers to vehicles. Unfortunately, of course, this means there's a long waiting list at my dealer. So long, in fact, that customers looking for a top trim SX Telluride with the PP option package are told they won't be seeing the vehicle on which they put in a deposit until early 2020. So what's up? KIA originally expected relatively strong demand for the Telluride. They set a production schedule of 41,000 vehicles for the 2019 calendar year. Once set it's extremely difficult to alter a production schedule. Additional production lines can't be produced with a magic wand. Workers, even non-union workers, can't work 16 hours a day over an extended period. New hires can't be expected to build vehicles without training. And many of a vehicle's components aren't built by its manufacturer; they come from third party firms whose flexibility in increasing production on short notice are even more constrained. Once the total output was determined KIA turned to their dealers for preliminary orders. Automotive dealers are a conservative lot. They hate seeing vehicles sitting on their lots for even a month. So many dealers based their orders on their experience that KIA customers would be "budget driven,," opting for lower trim trims rather than Tellurides priced between $45K and $50K. Comparatively few top trim vehicles were ordered. And since KIA like almost all manufacturers sell their vehicles to dealers, not to consumers, relatively few top trim Tellurides were initially produced. And then what happened? Much to the surprise of dealers and KIA there was massive demand for the Telluride. Far more than they expected and planned for and a large part of that demand was for the top trim SX version. KIA tried to respond to the demand but found that some components needed for the SX (e.g. second row captain chairs) were in short supply from the firm building them. Production had to be halted until the shortages were resolved. Demand will settle into a more predictable pattern. KIA will adjust their production schedule for 2020 and dealers will recognize that their customers are somewhat ahead of them in recognizing that KIA is not longer a purely budget brand. But it will all take a while.

[@Maxfli82]

Excellent analysis. I think reviews like this show consumers that Kia has completely turned around. Top trims like the SX and SXL now have some of the best technology and value in any price category. Well done Kia. I guess high demand is a good problem to have.

[@stephenhendricks103]

@Swamp Balls That's a problem that reflects the sad state of education in American schools.

[@bfee20021]

Problem could be that buyers may not have the patience to wait. The excitement may wear off before more top trims are available.

[@TfiveR]

And then there is our market in Dallas, where a local dealer added an almost $11k market up (making the top trim Telluride a $61k SUV).

Another feature on the SX V6 Telluride is the Diver Talk feature which was not acknowledge in this review. This feature is a two way mic that works through all the speakers so the driver can talk normally and speak to the rider all the way back to the third row.

Not sure if it's mentioned below, but the key fob does not have remote start. That's done from the UVO app on your phone where you also set the temp of the climate control system. It's an amazing ride. Love this thing! Excellent and well organized review!

You have to pay for that app after 1 year :(

@@rcoplien That's the rumor. But I don't see it happening. I'll confirm it after a year. I was disappointed when I first heard that.

[@crossefire01]

@@kanevivalakane3699 Correct. You can see whether your vehicle is locked or unlocked, running or not, and your mileage. You set the temp and hit start and, as long as you and the vehicle both have internet connectivity, you can remote start it. If you are somewhere without cellular coverage, it won't work. That's the draw back. I wish they had done it both via the app and via the FOB but this hasn't been an issue so far for me.

[@crossefire01]

@@kanevivalakane3699 Kane, while the vehicle doesn't act as a cellular hotspot, it does have a cellular data connection to the internet that it uses for this UVO feature. So, both you and your vehicle need to be able to access the internet for this to work. You can be on wifi or have cellular signal on your cell phone. The Telluride must have cellular service. You don't need to configure or pay for the vehicle's cellular connection. That comes built in. Your proximity to the vehicle doesn't matter. Only your ability and its ability to connect to the internet.

Dealer said its only 30$ a year for the app after the first year is this correct? Dodge wanted 149$ a year for their app and it wasn't worth it 30$ it would be.

Purchased Kia telluride two weeks ago, took it out to Los Angelos from Monterey Ca. It was great but the android panel controls froze up because it was exposed to the sun. I called the dealer to see how we can reset the control panel. He said we have to bring it in so they can reset it. We were on our way home about two hours away. After we got back about 7 hours later in a cooler environment the android panel finally started responding to our touch. I hope this will not be a problem because The panel easily exposed to the sun so it seems to heat up quickly if your in the sun. You might think about using a window cover to cover the android panel. I have the 2020 model with everything on it. Trying to schedule appointment so they can tell us what we need to do so this does not happen again. Wish me luck.

[@AutoAcademics]

Thank you, Brad moule, and that's a good question. Crossovers are built on car platforms and are unibody construction, whereas SUVs are based upon a truck chassis or body-on-frame construction. Most of what you see on the road today are crossovers, with the exception of vehicles (and their luxury counterparts) like the Tahoes/Suburbans, 4Runners/Sequoias, Expeditions, and Jeeps.

It's a different kind of vehicle, Eric Carmona. If you don't need to tow a ton, the Kia is a great vehicle and should meet your needs nicely. Happy shopping and thanks for watching!

I started looking online for this vehicle while I was overseas. I was also looking at the Range Rover. I finally got one in which I was offered unlimited years/one million mile power train warranty from Kia only for vehicles purchased at that particular dealership. I purchased the vehicle. And I must say I’m extremely in pressed with all the features inside & the body style outside. Plus, it’s way cheaper than paying for a brand new Range Rover.

[@AutoAcademics]

Definitely cheaper than a Range Rover, Leslie Fowler. Enjoy you new ride and thanks for watching!

[@MyGospelVideos1]

AutoAcademics I really appreciate your review because it was on point. Thank you! I am definitely enjoying my new ride. 😉

I purchased a black SX in early May. Still trying to locate a lot of the features. It's been babied. Didn't plan on buying a car at all that weekend but we drove past a dealership and they had four. We test drove ours with 21 miles on it. Bought it and by the time we left a short time later, contracts were done on all four. At the time we didn't realize how popular they were. Purchased for 43k way less than they wanted. Luckily I'm married to a negotiator, lol. Right now I'm only at 2300 miles. I only wish it had a V8 motor.

I'm afraid of driving a new model after the Kia a family member owned after seeing the problems he had with his. Good luck to all those who purchase a Kia especially with the recall they need to do on their other models.

Good work! This review was awesome, i'm thinking about trading in my Mazda CX5

Thanks for watching, Pistol Pete Eubank. And happy car shopping!

Kia: "Hey Cad? Can I copy you and Range's paper, it's due tomorrow." Cadillac: " Yeah, just make sure to change it up a bit so the teacher won't notice." Kia:" Alright, Bet!!!" Also Kia: 0:22
