Does the 2025 Kia Telluride S bring the BEST midsize 3-row SUV for your money?

[@omarcortes5754]

In terms of design, this is one of the best looking midsize.

[@JuanLopez-kw9of]

During Covid my uncle really wanted one, but a 15K market adjustment killed it Bought a VW Atlas at MSRP and 100K miles later no issues whatsoever.

[@DriveFastDriveHard]

Hurricanes may be spawning, swells may be out of control but our man J Raiti out here reviewing cars for our education and entertainment. Bravo good sir stay safe

[@thosediamonddreams]

I decided to get the 2025 Telluride S last month and it was because of this video that put it so high on my radar!!! I've had it about 3 weeks now and 500 miles and I love it!! I got the midnight blue exterior and it is so beautiful. I don't know why so many people drive white/gray/black cars, I love me some color!

[@famasmaster2000]

Immediate thumbs up before I even start to watch, thats how good your videos are , high quality as always 👌

[@mossgirl28]

I love the commentary! Hilarious but informative!

[@tomdrummy4984]

Hey Joe ! Glad to see you didn’t get blown away in the storm. I hope you tied the twinkies down. Nice Kia !

[@raid7752]

Love, Love my 2021 Telluride SX-PRESTIAGE, night fall edition, glacial white pearl, black napa leather.

[@PDLM1221]

Yes the price point is what makes this very attractive.

[@BigBrownTruck01]

My parents bought the 2020 Telluride. It was one of the nicest vehicles I’ve ever been in. You can’t beat it for that price.

[@Maddizm]

Nice Competitive SUV, Clean cut except they forgot the rear wiper

[@amill1563]

Hope things are still working in Florida.

[@TheGodofSEO]

That is an incredible offering for $41k

[@digressor]

Indeed it is. But it’s just unfortunate that most dealers have ridiculous mark-ups on Tellurides.

[@mqayyum9226]

@@digressor that is old news. market has changed. they are selling for thousands below msrp.

[@digressor]

@@mqayyum9226 not in our area. Was just in the market for 3 row crossover. The dealers in our area charges $5k above MSRP

[@fattygamer94]

​@@digressorIf you see a markup, move on. I work at a Kia dealership in Mass. no mark ups

[@digressor]

@@fattygamer94 yup, I actually did. It just sucks because I really like the vehicle.

[@blakerh]

Good looking vehicle, except for the wheels. Those are a big zonk!

[@Emilyandbridget]

Interesting comments appearing Joe! Great to see you made it through the other side mate!

[@rebeccamctaggart394]

After much researching, I just bought the 2025 telluride S trim best bang for your buck! And rides great!

[@RaitisRides]

So great to hear Rebecca! Congrats on your new Telluride!

[@omarh9977]

Great Job Joe!! Great reviews, great personality.

[@dominickirkwood]

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

[@shadow06z]

Are they still adding an up charge to these vehicles

[@drsmoooth8787]

That’s my ride! I purchased this exact Telluride! Just tinted the windows and soon to have my hitch installed. Nice video…..

[@SanaagSoulja]

Design-wise, the 2022 and 2023 models were the best, at least for me.

[@TechT1999]

For me the SX-Prestige in white with the tan leather.

[@Tunnils]

Love your videos brother.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Amazing review Joe and I'm like this vehicle.

[@magnoliap5824]

I’d just get the bench seat for the second row. Too many Telluride’s here in Colorado. I’m driving the Pathfinder, it’s is a bit smaller than this, which I prefer. Only the hybrid Highlander is worth buying now.

[@SDpapa]

You can't deny KIA offers ton of value for your hard earned money.

[@jasonthrash4357]

While the motor blows.

[@67keyakaren68]

offers a ton of fires and problems too

[@sylvasimpenzwe900]

​@SpaceZeee No they don't, I got a 2016 Kia Sorento which I bought new, 0 issue and am considering a Telluride

[@SDpapa]

@SpaceZeee Maybe if your foot wasn't too heavy? Also changing the oil once in a blue moon helps too? I know you are full of S when u mentioned u went through 3 engines, who is dumb enough to go over 3 engines??? Oh wait, that's right, you.....

[@ColeCorp]

Got a 22 forte gt line still perfect

[@zachery8841]

Test drove a palisade yesterday. Virtually the same vehicle. Pretty nice

[@fishytank1land]

I’ve owned a 24 telluride prestige for a year. Still enjoy watching your reviews even though I am no longer in the market. Might spring for a 330i soon though!

[@MarcusTurner-b5p]

Nice video keep up the great work Joe

[@stephenisaaks1]

@Raiti, that dip design on the roof where it meets the windshield is a kia trademark design, the StingerGT has three same dip at the same spot. Btw, KIA still makes the best white in the industry, and that big boss looks absolutely stunning in white. So good!!!!

[@w-josh]

personally I think Genesis’s Uyuni White looks better

[@nicoleferrell1579]

Joe and Laurie 🎉 did it again glad you guys are safe😂

[@willreynolds18]

I still would love to see a Continental door setup on this vehicle. With the trim door trim would be sharp.

[@glenglene8473]

still debating between Honda passport ELX vs Telluride S?

[@Urban-Explorer365]

Keep the V6!

[@Chicos_reviews]

Just bought this one a few days ago love it so much

[@PDLM1221]

It’s sure glad Kia still has the v6 those others with turbo 4’s no not going to snug it this has my attention!

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Love your car video

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Wow these Telluride crossovers have an amazing players bro

[@dejonbuick6070]

Hey, Joe great looking SUV, I hope you and the family are safe and dry in Florida, my friend.

[@ramongrady3166]

CX90 or Telluride?? 🤔

[@haze1123]

Ugh. Are those the new gauges? 12:40 Please tell me there are other options to choose from.

[@crunkdotmaster]

They're not new, that's what the low-end cluster has looked like since the refresh for MY2023. This one only has a 4.2" dynamic cluster screen. You can step up to the SX or up and get a nicer 12.3" full digital cluster screen if you want something better.

[@fattygamer94]

Since 23 model year, they've been using dual 12" in screen.

[@haze1123]

​@@fattygamer94 I'm talking about the RPM and MPH digital gauge cluster. It used to be digital dials. Now it's just digits.

[@stevenkreiss2113]

41K is a steal these days for 3 row v6...

[@ksolius1906]

Thank you for all the reviews Raiti. ******** Can you do a video comparison between the 2025 Honda Pilot and 2025 KIA Telluride? ********* Thank You!

[@MoneyLeaper]

😊 I was literally reaching for TicTac when Raiti mentioned good place for TicTacs.

[@trejosef6958]

Would you take the telluride over the Atlas?

[@jordantabat4143]

Hey Joe I may have missed it are you doing the 2025 KIA Sorento? If not can't wait to see your review on the Sorento

[@WarnerHousehold]

hows tampa doing now joe

[@Urban-Explorer365]

I’m definitely going with this V6.

[@SauloMogi]

A fully loaded civic hatchback is $37k. Not too shabby as you said.

[@SantiagoJessi]

Hahaha love your videos. Great personality and sense of humor. If I lived in the US, I would definitely buy my suv from you.😂 Blessings!❤

[@LeeDeion]

Kia or chevy ??? Idk which one to get

[@transitrider77]

I am hoping when there is a new design that there will be exhaust times on both sides.

[@azhaganveeran8432]

Naturally aspirated V6 is rare to find nowadays

[@theonechicagoil3210]

I wanna see the sxt prestige X line 2025

[@gurdeephebert8253]

Is the passenger seat non-manual on the higher trims?

[@ericrainey8224]

Yes

[@av-ru-mi]

I like the headlights. It’s like they took the Genesis headlights and turned them vertically.

[@nikskathrotiya4651]

When are you reviewing kia carnival hybrid?

[@bryanz5904]

Is it better than Mazda cx 90? I mean 3rd r seats 💺

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Yeah of course & I would rather buy this SUV.

[@nismokid2533]

I’d lean towards the Pathfinder.

[@bossy1ish]

Glad you survived the hurricane Joe rati

[@kevinW826]

I’m still not sold on their long term reliability.

[@jasonthrash4357]

Ya think? 😂

[@matthew_harris]

Check out the seat build quality at 12:04 what’s up with that?

[@RaitisRides]

That is a great question Matthew!

[@monstroPR1969]

I noticed that too! Great review but those seats are already coming apart and is a brand new suv

[@kingjulien9525]

I know I'm saying myself:"Joe... I just cashed out all my stock money because of Milton, how much will it cost me?"

[@scottbrawley407]

2025 Kia Telluride S 3.8L V6 8-Speed Automatic 4X2!

[@DavidWolfer]

Drove one and it was great. I only didn’t like that digital dash that’s on a few Hyundai and Kia models….the rpm is also numbers and you end up having 2 different set of numbers moving around and I hated it lmao. Stay safe Florida

[@fattygamer94]

All Kia's now have digital clusters

[@Urban-Explorer365]

Please keep the V6! I’m buying my last car in my life in 2027 and it is going to be naturally aspirated V6.

[@glennyork6800]

Nice.ride

[@LuisUrbieta]

Viva the Kia telluride!

[@DhruvDrives]

Great price point

[@paulokneip1396]

I agree it looks great and has a great offering. But it’s nowhere near the “best selling suv”. Tons of other options and more suv sold out there. The markups and other issues, plus the design is getting a bit outdated now, since it looks almost the same since 2019.

[@dontran4004]

I go to honda pilot. Same price

[@bradleycrouser]

Toyota Highlander is still the most reliable, long-term, in this category. But you're right, they took it down a notch when they dropped the wonderful six-cylinder engine that can last 300,000 miles or more.

[@Maddizm]

Tell Ur Ride who's Boss, KIA KONG

[@StephenByersJ]

Gotta stop zonking the rear wiper and start zonking the red turn signals. Amber turn signals are safer and look better.

[@Raider19582]

I just got home 🏡 from a maintenance appointment at Toyota and saw a Kia Telluride broken down on the side of the interstate 😂.

[@holly_hs]

Memory unlocked with the comment about troll doll pencil toppers lol :)

[@FrankyChav]

Jesus 41k now for S FWD? I paid 38k for a new 22’ S AWD.

[@bradcorbett90]

Why is there no CarPlay in 2025

[@lostalx]

Nope. I was in the market for an SUV. This was in my shortlist. Watch Carcarenut review this engine will have issues. And FB KIA telluride issues, search how many issues this POS has. Plus it has a ton of QC issues. Recalls. I got a 4Runner instead.

[@magnoliap5824]

Same, I was considering this myself but went Pathfinder.

[@mattmeierdiercks9363]

This guy is hilarious I wanna buy a car from him 😂

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for letting me share the laughs and the cars with you!

[@girth13]

Good value but fugly front end in my opinion.

[@kenziekyle1235]

😂 wouldn't touch this or palisade untill the all new model that fixed all problems from this previous gen. These are known to have ton of bad engines failures.

[@hockeynutt9434]

Nice ride, my only nit pick is that 90s gear shifter. Would be nice to see a slick low profile electronic shifter, audi like

[@johngamble6773]

Nothing about vehicles--I hope everybody with Raitis Rides is OK from the Hurricane??

[@luiselapostolfeliz2421]

Viva the KIA Carnival

[@Bash_coope]

Well, I am zonking this whole telluride 😐

[@CraigNelson-gw6jw]

Check out Reviews for Kia. None of those features will last. Kia is the most cheap technology car brand period. This is not a 150k mile on the dash Suv

[@LifeOfBelaire]

Better than a 2025 BMW X3.

[@jasonthrash4357]

I don't care how LARGE or in charge, I don't want a Kia.

[@user-mw2hw9pj9s]

It's a really nice looking SUV for a really good price. I have to say, those S trim rims... terrible look.

[@naveenthemachine]

Still the best 3 row suv

[@CraigNelson-gw6jw]

3.8 liter V6 just to have under 300 Horsepower????? Might as well had a turbo 4 for over 300 Horsepower. That 3.8 engine is horrible.

[@anngo4140]

Saw one at a local dealer, with 8K market adjustment. Jeez

[@Accountabanded]

Please stop using does on the start of the title

[@DL_1987]

No

[@kalvinvang2006]

Looks ugly imo

[@marksix3027]

I have to zonk all the cheap ugly black plastic cladding.
