Joe, Another great review sir. I bought this exact 24 SX Prestige X-Line in Wolf Grey on the black Nappa leather from Kia of Muncie back in late August for MSRP ($54,270 with the carpet mats included) and a $199 doc fee). I live near St. Augustine but cannot buy any Kia or Hyundai in Florida. I have bought 10 new SUVs since Feb. of 2022 (4 Palisade Calligraphy, 2 Santa Fe Calligraphy, 2 Subaru Ascent Touring, and 2 top trim Tellurides). The Kia dealer you borrowed this from for the video is very tough to buy from without the typical FL bait and switch nonsense. I cannot wait until the FTC guidelines go into effect on 7-30-23 where all pricing has to be transparent and, on the vehicle, / website with only sales tax and DMV fees added. No more additional fees for dealer accessories or crazy doc fees, 3rd party tag agency fees, or electronic filing fees that we don't know about until after we go to the dealership. That will destroy these shady Kia and Hyundai dealers. It's sad that I had to drive 940 miles to Indiana to buy my Telluride 4 months ago but no way in hell that I was paying FL Kia dealer prices. As for the EV9 GT Line, I love it but cannot justify $78,000 over $54,500 for a faster engine and zero gravity seats and a fingerprint reader with a slightly better 3rd row that's lower to the ground for better knee room. I love the EV9 but to lease it for 3 years and 36k miles, you are still looking at over $900 a month with $5k or $6k cash down even with the $7,500 IRA tax loophole. The resale value of any EV will be dog poop thanks to the technology changing rapidly and Elon Musk lowering his new EV prices to maintain his dominant market share at Tesla. In my Opinion, the EV9 GT Line is a game only for the wealthy who don't care about poor residual values or spending a grand a month to rent this thing with five grand down. Basically, the person leasing this thing for 36k miles is paying about $1.10 per mile to drive it before any charging costs. Not for the middle class. Make it $60k Kia and let's talk for the EV9 GT Line. Another great review Joe!

[@jamesfronte8318]

@@jeffwheeler1893 sorry Jeff. It's 7/30/24, when the national FTC rules go into effect. Fatt fingers on my cell phone. Let me clarify one point. After this date next July, a car dealer can still charge any number it wants for a new or used vehicle, however, the pricing must be transparent and include all fees like doc fees, tag agency fees, electronic Filing Fees, mandatory dealer installed accessories etc. The only thing not included in the vehicle advertised price is sales tax and DMV fees that are all predicted on the ZIP code where the vehicle is to be registered. I did not really clarify that in my original post. Hence, transparency is key with no games once you go to the dealership. I never even go to the dealership until the deal is done on paper with a SM or GSM so I go for 90 minutes at the most to take delivery. Sorry for the date typo before.

[@blown22]

I owned a '12 Sorento SX for a little over 12 years, and finally traded it for a Telluride in late January. Exact same model and trim as in this video, except in moss green. 3 months in, and I LOVE this SUV! It's amazing how far auto tech has come in 12 years! This model/trim has SO many safety and convenience features, that I'll learning how to access and use them all in an ongoing process. Parking and backing out is like flying IFR - you don't even need to look out the windows or windshield - just down at the touch screen and 360 degree/3D camera display. And parallel parking into a single spot has never been easier! In 40+ years of being a driver, I can't remember being this satisfied with a vehicle purchase.

[@wordofakingKJV1611]

I have a Wolf Gray, X Prestige with Terracotta interior, and it's a dream. I had a Hyundai Palisades before this, and it blows it away in terms of style, and sport. When the EV9 came out I was drooling, but as I compare the two exteriors, I definitely prefer the more classic muscle look of the Telluride. I am still turning heads in this car and frankly, it fits my family's needs perfectly - I have a newborn, and 3 teenagers and my wife is happy. No complaints.

The terracotta interior is probably my favorite feature... Really makes it look more luxurious and unique, and always brightens my mood when I enter it after having mostly black interiors over the years.

[@ugahenne]

Telluride. 2 reasons after visiting that very same Lokey dealership and test driving both: 1) ~400+ miles per tank range vs. in the words of the salesperson "realistically, maybe ~200 miles per charge" on the EV9 2) Price: we were looking at a mid tier trim (Wind or Land?) which had a "market adjustment fee" bringing it up to close to $77k. Ridiculous. The EV is 25-30k more expensive than a comparable Telluride, but the latter has way more range, Features more or less on par, and the driving experience (noise level, cabin comfort, gizmos, sound system, assistants etc.) was basically the same. Can't justify spending 25k more just for "going electric" - sorry 🙂That's at minimum 15+ years driving electric before I'll be in the black on "gas savings" alone based on my normal mileage and driving habits. One interesting note though, we also went to the neighboring Lokey VW to check out the Atlas and I was surprised (appalled) how bad/cheap the interior quality felt like in direct comparison to the Telluride. Probably why they have a great 0% APR financing deal atm to reel people in lol.

I own the 2021 SX FWD Telluride and let me tell you it’s perfect for my family and fits in my garage easily. I was lucky to get the SUV for 42k when I did now the mark ups are crazy.

@@jamesarnos5158 there is a number things you can do, however these are in line not to void your warranty. K&N filter, tire 45psi but make sure use nitrogen. Best thing to do is deflate your tire to a low point and air up with pure nitrogen. Change setting to smart mode and reset all the features to ensure the computer can adjust your settings. Use top tier gasoline and add Gumount Tune up can every 20k. Use fuel synthetic oil. Void warranty: Spark change to platinum,Dual exhaust, oil catch can install due to the GDI engine, computer reprogramming of drive setting.

She needs the bigger wheels because she loves to hit the curb while eating her Twinkees. ;-) I like the 2024 gloss black upgrades to the front end, but I am happier with the big rims on my X-line. I have been pressing for the EV9 since it was first announced. Love the pickup for the GT line and the matte blue paint, but have to zonk that the in-bumper lighting doesn't come on either of the Matte paint finishes. I also can't justify the additional $23K for the EV, and don't forget the $2,500 to install an electric charging unit to the front of my house.

Comments I see about the comparison between the Telluride and EV9 are wild. I hear opinions saying that the EV9 is better because of speed and the quality of the drive is better. I disagree. First things first. The EV9 and the Telluride are meant to be SUVs. Not some EV6 or a EV Hatch back. I drove the 2023 Telluride on an Offroad track and that thing was insane in its capabilities as an offroader. It had true AWD and active torque vectoring which made it able to tackle 3 wheel off-traction (3 wheel slip) scenarios which is impressive compared to the likes of Jeep. The EV9 on the other hand just has two electric motors but not a true functioning mechanical AWD system. It may be fast but shit on snow or offroad conditions. Also the clearance of the EV9 is too low for any offroad use while the Telluride has a clearance height similar to the Honda Passport Trailsport. Both have nice interiors and ride quality is equal in terms of road noise and suspension being quite and soft. I don't even know why they do this trend of calling everything a crossover. Especially shitty EVs like the Ioniq 5 and EV9. Don't even lump them up together as they're not even in the same class of capability.

[@craigswenson5650]

My 2024 Telluride fully loaded is by far the worst vehicle I have ever had. After 800 miles the transmission went out, Idiots insisted that it was fine that the battery was just low. Gave it back to us and within a day the car ran like a golf cart, no acceleration, loud noises, and hard shifting. We took it back Dec 26th and after a month of back and forth they finally agreed it needed a new transmission. They replaced the transmission and gave it back to us at the beginning of February. We drove it for 4 hours and the Engine light came on and said "A possible condition with your Engine Control System has been detected. Please contact your local dealership..." On the way back on a left turn 3 of us in the car all heard a bang when turning left. The dealership still has my car in the shop and are unable to fix it. All I keep hearing is "that's unheard of" and I believe it but their Techline is useless and the mechanics have not had to deal with problems like this, so my point is that once these things start having problems, good luck getting it fixed because they have zero experience fixing them. Much much more to our story but not enough room to tell it here.

[@craigswenson5650]

A little more history. They claim to have fixed it 4 or 5 times now. They replaced the Transmission Module first, then the Transmission, then the Transmission Module again, Then the Transmission Module with a known good module, several of the wiring pins were said to have been short and fixed plus a whole lot of other B.S. has happened. The latest update today is that one of the wiring harness ends with pins that connects to and electric pump on the transmission side had a loose power pin and was filled with anti-freeze! it had corroded to the point that it could not keep a stable connection. They claim it is a single point of failure (impossible to find because the errors are not helpful) in the Telluride. It goes to all of the connectors on the transmission side and back to the TCM. If I remember correctly the tech said something like the connector on the pump goes to what they call "can" or "cam" communication and if that component shorts out it's really fragile when it comes to anything electrical it takes out everything that is pcan (the power train) and it control's your engine, transmission, and several other things. They have no explanation how Anti-Freeze got in there and claim it must have come from the manufacturer that way. I still don't have my car and am waiting for them to call and tell me something else is wrong. By law I can demand a buy back or replacement. There is no way in hell I'm waiting another 22 months for a replacement.

I know everyone says it’s for smaller kids for short runs, but that’s a huge waste of additional cargo space for a once-in-a-while situation. And for those of you ready to say it, keeping the 3rd row down is not the same thing. I know no one will ever do it as it means extra tooling for the auto manufacturers, but I would totally take an SUV of this size with an option for a 3rd row delete and lower cargo floor for more cargo space. But I’m clearly in the minority since these tiny 3 row vehicles are so popular.

I agree I like a decent sized SUV but never use a third row. The Mazda CX-70 is a big 2 row SUV but maybe too big!

Yes

The enormous battery replacement cost, limited range, and the fire hazard EV’s pose. There is NO WAY I would EVER go electric!

We just replaced our Atlas with an SX, and it slots perfectly in the family fleet between the Escalade ESV and our Macan. The best way to describe it is "easy"... not the most engaging, but comfy and smooth. Now I just need to replace the C8 with an Emira! #save the manuals #EVs suck!

See my comment above. EVs are great! 🙄
