Wife Wants A Kia Telluride

[Fish]

The grill looks more like a couple models of caddy vs a flex to me.

Maybe cause both have their model at the front of the hood?

Wanted to go see one and drive one of these today fully expecting we would have to order what we wanted. Literally no one 75 miles from here has one regardless of websites. Kia and autotrader show a few around us that are the SX Model. When we call we are told those are already presold or preorders....... wtf? Why would you post that on your site that’s ignorant.

Guess we will wait a few weeks or months. Not dropping 45 grand on a car sight unseen. Especially a Kia. No offense to Kia but ya know.

Id argue with the salesman to let me drive one on the lot even if its "presold" or not. Because yeah ignorant website listing gets an ignorant argumemt and the type of person that would raise hell just because.

Like you said why list it if its already sold.

Kind of clickbait douchery IMO.

 

[Gone_2022]

It wasn’t even on the lot. It was a preorder that was already sold. Idk I don’t get it. Stupid shit

That's some bullshit.

You'd think dealers would keep one of the new models as a drive model so people can try it and order their own....

They told me only prior Kia customers got the first SX’s, everyone else has to wait, I told him to EAD and left.

 

[Gone_2022]

Rofl. I have no doubt the car is nice but stop it Kia. I’ll wait until they drop in price now and they are a dime a dozen come end of year and you can get 5 grand off them

 

[Gone_2022]

Also I don’t think the average prior Kia clientele is prepared to drop 46-50k on the top model SUV.

Why does everyone still rush out to buy the first year of something new? Second year always has more and better stuff. Plus more bugs are worked out.

 

[The Beast]

It’s a Kia it will be worth half in 12 mos

These are holding value alot better than the past though. Not just the Telluride, but Hyundai/Kia in general.

Tell Kia to GFY and get the Palasade.

 

[Gone_2022]

The Kia looks way better than the palasade but we are going to give both a shot for a drive. I’m going to wait now though to see if any details come out for next years model. I doubt much if anything will change. It will just be minor bug fixes

 

[Fish]

Looks are subjective though. Ive always liked the way the Hyundais looked over the Kias.

I just saw the palasade at a car show and it’s a sharp suv with nice equipment. Not sure about the 44k sticker

 

[0GBlown]

High residuals 60%+ plus lease cash for the first year model , no wonder there all gone. Makes for a nice rental at 5-6k a year.

The couple across the street has had one for about a month now. I never even heard of it before they showed up with it one day. I'm not a fan. This is their 2nd Kia. I'm guessing they went with this thing because they are a fairly large couple and it is roomy.

Value wise, I'd agree with you guys on it looking promising...looks-wise, definitely not for me.

[MENTION=11218]lastls1[/MENTION] Im at Patrick Hyundai in Schaumburg getting my oil changed and I glanced across the lot at Kia. I saw 2 Tellurides sitting under what looks like a newer storage garage. Didnt walk up to it, but its there. Dont know if its sold or not.

 

[Gone_2022]

Maybe new shipment or maybe already sold? If it’s an SX it’s most likely already sold. We called 5 different stores and were told no one has them and they are only allocated so many to order at this time.

 

[Fish]

No idea what it is. Just saw the goofy front end.

FWIW, I havent asked if there are any Palisades here. Maybe I will.

 

[Fish]

They have one Palisade that hasn’t sold and it’s only been a day. I was also one of 3 looking at it so I guess it won’t be here long.

It looks way different in different colors. I think it looks good regardless but in White it’s sharp as hell.

 

[The Beast]

A family member of mine just traded in their explorer for a Telluride yesterday. He just went with the LX model he just couldn’t find what he really wanted

Just drove the Palisade today. Hyundai said they’re hitting dealers right now, and sold maybe 300 last month right at the tail end before big shipments went out. Compared with the Telluride, Palisade has available power third and a few other things, like digital dash, and different rear shock tuning for towing. Both are rated to tow the same, though.

Preference between the two?

 

[Bru]

Preference between the two?

Palisade is tuned stiffer so rides a little tighter, more carlike. Telluride is softer, floatier. Will come down to your styling preference, whether you want a power third row or digital dashboard (Hyundai only) and where you can get the best deal. Otherwise, functionally, they’re the same.
