[@sincerenails5913]

Just got the 2022 Nightfall Edition. I'm over satisfied! Kia have come a long way! Everywhere I go! People are looking and giving me a Thumbs up! But I'm not surprised about this vehicle, I have 3 Kia vehicles!

[@bobbylim3016]

Korean cars are so underrated now, this car is my next vehicle for sure!!! Such a classy beast looking SUV!!

[@ahua]

I love mine. I was choosing between the Telluride and the Land Rover Defender. The Defender is obviously a better off-road vehicle, but I didn’t find its luxury brand amenities to be better (or even up to par in some ways) with the Telluride. Given the fact that I was looking for safe and heavy more than an off-roader, I decided to save the $20K and go with the Telluride. I also learned that Land Rover doesn’t offer more than a 4 year warranty for the Defender while I got a 10 year power train warranty as well as the first 6 years of maintenance covered on my Telluride. I think I made a wise decision. I endorse your choice in next vehicle 👍

[@bobbylim3016]

​@@ahua Great Choice!!! I like it because, it's so reliable too but if money isn't an issue, Range Rover and its siblings are beautiful choice indeed esp the ride quality minus their reliability issue lmao

[@curtis5255]

I was one of the customers you had to fight off for the review, wanted to take this one out for a test drive after driving the S in gray to see how it differed with the extra features and the sound system. Waited for you guys to come back from your review drive, once you guys got back to the dealer i called my mom and told her to get up there immediately. My salesman came up to me after you got done reviewing this one and said it just sold!!!! Right after that the S model I drove just sold as well. Very nice vehicles but very hard to get!!! Was hoping to say hi and meet you guys in person but next time for sure

[@CarConfections]

Oh wow! We would've liked to meet you as well! Hopefully they'll get some more units in soon for you all to check out 😁

[@matthewgeissinger2856]

How did you like the S with the new upgrades for 2022? I think that may be one of the best values at the price point.

[@johnd3268]

Was that particular dealer selling them for above MSRP?

[@ahua]

Good and accurate review. I’ve had my fully blacked out Nightfall Edition Telluride for a week and it is everything I was hoping for in a SUV. It is well geared and the 291HP, 8 speed transmission engine is more than enough power to move this 4400 pound vehicle quickly, smoothly and with great control. At 6’4” the leg and headroom in the first two rows are most welcome and as our presenters mentioned, the seating is extremely comfortable. In fact, the comfortability of the seats is moving up the charts of my favorite things about my Telluride. The visibility is great in all ways. Sitting tall in the cabin with flat windows, well placed A and B pillars and a large back window provides that superior visibility. This is complimented nicely by the 360 degrees camera views that on my SX model are presented in the gauge cluster when I put on a turn signal. When put into reverse, the Telluride’s main infotainment display shows your back up camera as well as the projected travel of the vehicle as estimated by the 360 camera system. A week in my only (and minor) complaint is that the CarPlay isn’t wireless. Other than that I’m completely satisfied with my Telluride and fully endorse it to anyone interested in an excellent SUV. I had to order mine, but that allowed me to customize it. My understanding is that the dealerships are only getting baseline or top trim models. I believe the SX Nightfall Edition I ordered was about $5K less than the top trim and I feel as though it is lacking nothing. In fact a friend who has a Land Rover Discovery says that my Telluride has some nice amenities her Discovery does not and at about $10K less.

[@naturallylii]

Does it atleast have wireless Bluetooth? My CarPlay currently isn’t wireless but my Bluetooth is.

[@ahua]

@@naturallylii I’m not sure what wireless capabilities the infotainment system has because the only one I care about is CarPlay. It’s a good question though.

Got ourz yesterday, sx awd prestige, nightfall, tow. Feels more like a van drive, very classy and modern interior

[@basilbcf]

We bought (via order) a 2021 SX (Dark Moss Nightfall non-Prestige with butterscotch leather) which we've had for almost 10 months and we love it. One of the best cars we've ever owned. (and we've owned a lot). I searched all over the country to find a dealer that would order exactly what we wanted and not charge a ridiculous dealer markup (some dealers re asking 5k-10k, even more, above MSRP. Because I got the veterans KIA discount we ended up paying less than MSRP. I was willing to drive a one-way rental car 10 hours to pick up our Telly in Texas. We did get the full tow package and can report that we were able to easily tow a 19' R-Pod camper trailer (about 3500 lbs) with no problem, but the gas milage of course dropped to about 15MPG. The one thing I don't like about the 2022 is the badge. I know some people like it, but I'm not one of them. To me, it looks like the logo for the band Nine Inch Nails (wish I could post a picture). Also, why in the heck didn't they black out the logo on the Nightfall edition? That's just dumb! (I'm sure people who buy the Nightfall will be painting that logo). Otherwise, it's still the best looking SUV in its class. I am constantly getting compliments on this car.

Where did you find it in Texas? I live in NE Texas and they seem to be adding 5k to sticker. Thx!

As a mom of 2 and a sport mom who’s always on the go… most 3 row suvs without bench seats don’t work. So frustrating that the higher trims don’t have the option of a bench seat 🤷🏽‍♀️ I don’t want to pull the 3rd row up to just fit 1 extra child. As much I don’t want to spend 60k+ for a full size it makes more sense for my needs

True! i hate this "captain's chair tend", its a waste of space.

I traded in my 2020 Telluride EX for a 2022 Telluride SX Prestige Nightfall. Mine is all black. My only trivial complaint is I wish the KIA badge was black. I will say, my favorite feature is the automatic high beams and the ambient lighting. It’s an overall amazing car that I have had 0 real complaints about it. I did have to build mine this time around so I got exactly what I wanted!

This would be godlike if they added fully digital gauge cluster, tucked the rear wipers into the rear spoiler and had dual quad exhaust instead of one to clean up the rear. Optional would be an engine with at least 300+ hp & torque, Thin bezel rear-view mirror and bigger infotainment screen to fill out the gaps.

@@bernardking13 I actually got it for MSRP. I have heard others adding $8K to $15k to MSRP which is crazy. I don't think it's right or that KIA would allow dealers to mark up their products because of demand. It's a great business model for loosing customers and eroding brand loyalty.

[@HRH_KRH]

I’ve had a ‘21 Wolf Grey SX-P Nightfall for almost 9 months. My husbands daily drive is a ‘19 Stinger GT2. I wish the Telluride had a turbo engine as nice as the Stinger. I find it to be capable but a bit clunky. My main gripes have to do with the seats. The second row captains chairs are much more comfortable than the front seats, I’d also like the front headrests to move forward and back like the Stingers. And overall the armrests in the front cabin are too low, sitting in the front seats is awkward with nothing to rest elbows on. I’m not tall either, 5’4”. However the safety features and adaptable cruise make it worth it. The cargo capacity is also very nice. I’ve fit a full size pinball machine and a 75” tv box inside.

[@theflyingkaramazovbrothers6]

Unfortunately, the headrests is a bigger problem with Kia and Hyundai than with other automakers even when they have forward/back adjustments. The regulation in 2008 that saw cars for 2009 and beyond follow a rule that was based on crash test dummies that are too thick for the average human being, so the headrest presses forward into your head rather than allowing your back to and neck to be relatively straight or relaxed. Only solution is to bend the metal or flip the headrests around (and even that may not solve it.) Really disappointed with cars in general because of this fact, the seats otherwise seemed OK to me. The Telluride headrest kills my neck and gives me headaches.

[@ahua]

@@theflyingkaramazovbrothers6 interesting. I found the seat in my 2022 Telluride to be so comfortable that during a 40 minute drive last night, it actually relieved a headache I had before I got behind the wheel.

[@johnstrika9170]

I had to choose between the Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade and went w the Palisade because they offered the Calligraphy edition. Might have changed my mind if the Nighfall was available. Not that I'm not in love with the Palisade, but this might have made my choice tougher.

[@Blondie44]

I have the Calligraphy and what bothers me even more than the wireless charging area(which I don't use because I use Android Auto) is the fact it doesn't have power open/close side mirrors. Yes, it's nitpicking, but that would make it perfect IMO. The gauge cluster shits all over the Telluride's, especially the lane changing cameras.

Obviously only time will tell, but I’ve got a 10 year power train warranty on mine. One of my best friends recommended the KIA SUVs to me because he’s had a great experience with the two Sorrentos he has for his family. So far I’m very impressed with the Telluride I picked up.

[@kencoleman8929]

As much as I love the new Grand Cherokee L, this feels way more comfortable and premium than the new Grand Cherokee L, at least the $53,000 Limited trim I sat in. 🤔

[@hellkitty1014]

As a Jeep guy, I certainly agree. The Limited L is a nice place to be, but this seems to be a bit more polished. But that is also intentional on Jeep's behalf because they sell so many Overland and Summit trims, with class leading interior now(especially Summit Reserve).

[@kencoleman8929]

@@hellkitty1014 True. Another thing the Limited has going for it is that you can get the 4wd without air suspension. I think its automatically bundled on Overland/ Summit trims.

[@Icetillidie]

Interesting, if others feel the same i guess jeep will fall short of out selling the telluride. Then again everyone else as fall short also, lets see if the new pathfinder and qx60 can knock out the champ.

[@hellkitty1014]

@@Icetillidie the JGC is already in the top 3 of all midsize SUVs sold, and that was before the 3rd row. It is looking to dethrown the Explorer as the #1 seller now. Again, the Telluride only looks the best in the tip-top trim. EX and lower look a bit anonymous, IMHO. That said, Kia has taken a quantum leap in their product appeal and quality. I'm really looking forward to the EV6 to be included in my upcoming purchasing decision against the Mach E and ID.4

[@stephenhendricks103]

A couple of comments about the Telluride vs Palisade. Like all automakers KIA and Hyundai design and price their vehicles to meet the competition in the markets where they're sold. The Telluride is built in West Point, Georgia and sold almost exclusively in North America. In those markets the KIA competes against what Americans consider mainstream "midsize" 3 row crossovers such as the Ford Explorer, the Toyota Highlander, the Honda Pilot, the Chevy Traverse, the VW Atlas, etc. On the other hand, the Palisade is built in South Korea and aimed primarily at international markets outside North America. In those markets the best selling mainstream 3 row SUVs in America are either not available, at all, or have minuscule sales. The Palisade's primary competitors in Asia and Europe are European luxury SUVs from brands like Mercedes Benz, Audi, BMW, etc. The result of such different competitive environments is a Telluride design that leans somewhat toward the sort of "rugged" vibe Americans prefer while the Palisade projects a sort of "budget luxury" image and features aimed at sales to consumers for whom luxury trumps ruggedness. That's not to say, of course, that the top trims of the Telluride aren't premium. But features such as motor driven folding 3rd row seats and digital eye candy displays don't have the same priorities for Tellurides they do for Palisades.

[@ZCT808]

In reality it’s basically the same car. Except the Hyundai lacks folding mirrors and has an annoying button shifter.

[@al151]

Definitely waiting for the 2023 model year with digital gauge cluster and some other updates.

[@eBikify]

Just get the palisade. Same exact vehicle, except palisade has more luxury and tech, including the fully digital gauge. I own the calligraphy model. Insanely nice car. Nicer than the telluride

nice review, I am in the market (not in a hurry) but the dealer here in Houston, TX are marking up like 20% of the MSRP, is this the norm now? can I just preorder the car and pay the delivery fees on top of the MSRP? Anyone had any experience in preorder? I think any markup is just a bit ridiculous but due to chip shortage, I understand but 20% is way too much.

[@benanderson2823]

i wish car reviews would test radios more and play country and rap to hear the bass

[@pardhiv-usa]

Great informative video. Can u kindly give information on ride quality on local roads and impact on pot holes on local roads vs highway riding. Is the ride quality soft or is the ride quality harsh or stiff. I do have 2020 Honda Pilot exl AWD and ride quality on local roads is harsh and thus I was gathering info for 2022 Kia telluride / 2022 Chevy Tahoe / 2022 Ford Expedition / 2022 Toyota Sequoia and personally I prefer having soft and smooth ride on local roads. Kindly let me know the ride quality for the 2022 Kia telluride. Thanks

[@flandrescarlet486]

Canadian model is disappointing. The top nightsky trim canceled the nappa leather seats and there's no suede headliner in any trim in 2022. Yet they are pricing more than a palisade. I will definitely go for a palisade.

[@Livin_is_life]

🤔...The only reason I think the New Kia logo isn't blacked out on this nightfall edition is because it's their all new logo. So Kia really wants it to stand out. Though I wouldn't be surprised in the future if the nightfall edition Kia logo will later be blacked out on the 2023 or 2024 yr models. 👍🏽

[@BigLou521]

It's an impressive vehicle but a big question is how well does it hold up? It can have excellent initial quality but how will the vehicle feel say three years later?

[@barryboyd7973]

It will feel great 3 years later. Heck, my 2008 Sorento felt great 11 years later. Drove like new and zero squeaks or rattles. 11 years of harsh winter driving and no rust either. I spent 0$ on repairs. Nothing ever went wrong. I replaced a cracked windshield, a set of tires, a battery and a few headlight bulbs and that was it other than fluid changes. Most solid and reliable vehicle I ever owned by a long shot, including my Mercedes C36 AMG.
