The new logo fits the Telluride very well✨. It also looks great on the 2022 K5. However I do think the emblem should've been finished in black for the lighter colors to aid in contrast
I guess I appreciate the space saving vertical mounting of the air filter but the filter seems a bit loose in the housing which could contribute to unfiltered air making its way past the filter. It does make changing the air filter a bit quicker, 2 minutes instead of 4 minutes. I just thought it was a bit gimmicky. Wish they would have thought a bit more about the spark plugs on the back bank of the engine. They will be a pain to change.
@@didifixthat7910 You can easily tell if there is really a gap between the housing and the air filter when streaks of dirt will show around that area after you have driven it a few hundred miles. Please get back to us with your findings. Thank you for sharing your observation.
Nice ride, love the new emblem. I just got the 2021 SXL PRESTIGE Nightfall edition in march, dark moss, i love it. No mark-up price from all Huffines kia dealerships. Bought 2019 Sorento SXL in december 2019 before letting go in march when i had the 2021 telluride.
Thank you for posting this video! I am getting ready to pull the trigger on ordering one but the seat color options on the Kia website are a bit misleading. For instance, on the website on the SX it looks more gray (blue tone) than beige. (I prefer the beige look). Also on the website if you pick the gray leather on the SX it shows the glove compartment and piece under the steering wheel turning black which really darkens the cockpit. In reality it looks like those areas are gray/beige to match the leather. Your video was awesome as I can see what the gray interior truly looks like in the SX (literally the only one I could find on UA-cam that wasn't the prestige which has a slightly different leather). Feel much more confident placing my order now. THANK YOU!!!
So glad the video helped you with your purchase decision. The seat surfaces are a different color than the seat backs and bottoms. I wish that they had made the color the same. It’s as if they didn’t put much thought into the overall look of the interior. Minor quips but…… If I’m not mistaken the brown, which I thought looked pretty good, has an entirely brown interior as opposed to mine that is half grey half black.
Nice exterior and interior color combination - very practical - light color, less heat. If I were you, I would take that engine cover off permanently so cooling air can move freely around the engine.
I believe that the rear A/C control from the front seat is controlled or displayed on the 10.25 “ screen. Tuning up the back three cylinders I’d imagine it could be done from underneath like the V6 Chrysler put in their 1st minivans. (When mine arrives I’ll let you know what I think), but what I haven’t seen in anyone’s videos is where is the jack kept? Hidden under the rear cover? Since the initial shock of the new Kia emblem on the Nightfall Edition, I actually like the brushed metal look. When I took your photo from the forum and painted the rear symbol black, a friend of mine pointed out that she didn’t like it in black. She said from a distance it just looks like oriental writing or a oriental symbol. I looked again and she was right. Mine is the Glacial White Pearl as well and I’m going to leave both of the emblems alone. If you now look at the old emblems, they’re kind of plain looking and with the new ones, everyone will know we have something new and unusual. I’m still going to wait on your plasti dip this weekend but talk it over with your better half and see if the new emblems have actually grown on you. 🤔
The jack is located in the rear trunk area in the left floor board. It is the exposed portion on the left at the 15:34 mark. There is a hard plastic cover that lifts off to reveal the jack
They should have blacked out the KIA logos like the previous 21my. Hopefully they receive feedback and do it for the next year so you can swap em out. Great looking car nonetheless.
I can't seem to get the smart lift gate to work. It's set to enabled in settings. I lock car, walk away for a minute, walk up to the gate with key in pocket, but nothing happens.
Don’t know what to say. If I approach the rear of the vehicle the vehicle will beep 3 times and then a long beep and the tailgate opens. It’s worked like that since day one.
Pretty much all dealer I contacted had an up charge. What I found interesting is that all car appeared to have the same up charge. Didn’t matter if it was the cheapest car or the most expensive car on the lot. Now wether or not they actually charge it for the cheaper cars is another thing. Not sure how that works. Seems like most dealers were trying to get $5000 over sticker on these. They have pretty much been that way since they came out. I think there are some dealers that will order them for you at $0 markup but you will have to travel to them. Just wouldn’t work for me. Let me know what your finding out about up charges.
@@didifixthat7910 I have been focusing on the sister company Hyundai. Last summer, locally the Hyundai in Des Moines, IA said they were not upcharging--at the time as the Palisade was (and of course still is) very popular. Now on the website I see new Sonatas with a $1K upcharge, Tucsons with $2K and Palisades with $3K. It is listed as a market adjustment on the website. I think most websites don't want to mention an upcharge because it just looks better with it not there. According to a search I saw New Hampshire had the least expensive cars and I did not see an itemized upcharge on their site for Hyundais. When I wanted to test drive the Telluride last summer they were working on selling their only one as a customer was looking at it. Both are outstanding vehicles!
I agree that they are both great vehicles. Just have to decide which one you like best. It’s basically the exterior trim. I prefer the telluride as there is not as much chrome. The palisade does have a digital dash and power folding seats on the third row. They’re may be other differences as well. They are supposed to be the more luxurious name plate of the two.
@@jelanicole3161 if you can travel, or search around for Huffines KIA, they don't have no markup charges. I have bought 2 brand new SUVs from them, 2019 SXL Sorento and 2021 SXP Dark Moss, Nightfall Edition in march from them either. NO MARKUP!
@@olawaleakinlabi3240 Oh wow, thanks so much Olawale! Right now I am still in the research phase. That is good to know. A trip is always worth it if you can significantly save. I have been to Texas a couple of times as well.
so i assume the interior ambient light comes standard on sx? btw i found two disappointed feature, one is no digital cluster and no blacked out badge in nightfall
I assume the ambient light comes standard as I didn’t order it and the window sticker confirms that as well. You are right about the digital dash, I think the digital dash and power folding seats are available in the Hyundai Palisade. Yes I too am disappointed that the badges aren’t blacked out with the nightfall package. I will fix that this weekend. I’ll upload a video on that.
No the dude didn’t. There wasn’t one on the lot when we ordered this. Basically looks like any other car under the hood with the exception of the novel air filter housing. Of note is the back bank of spark plugs that will be a pain to change for the next owner. I probably won’t have the car when the plugs need to be changed. Other than that, looks like most other front wheel drive v6 engines. Thanks for watching.
Cool car and video. The only criticism I have is using less “umms” in the video, other than that keep up the great work. Car looks awesome. Can’t wait for you to start blacking it out 👍🏼
Been 30 years since I took a public speaking video. Really enjoying the car. I’ve done a couple of videos on how to fix those unsightly front and rear emblems. Check them out. Thanks for watching.
I got mine at Myrtle Beach Kia. As for Joe and tell him I sent you. He will know who I am. At $63k you need to buy a Tahoe or Yukon. That price is crazy.
Excellent video. I noticed that there’s an AGM Battery under the hood instead of a lead (Pb) acid one. Did they remove the black lug nuts for the Nightfall Edition for MY 2022? I’ve heard the talk about it but my dealership (VA057) said that mine will have the black lug nuts. Check with your dealership to see if they removed yours just for the locking lug nut on each wheel. I’d want to keep the black ones and lose the wheel look. Looks great!
Yes they did remove one for the wheel locks. Seems that for the upgraded price of the nightfall package they could have included a blacked out wheel security lug nut. Nice catch on the AGM battery. What do you think about spark plug changes on that back bank. Looks like a bit of a pain.
You bring up a valid point. I think that the kids today don’t meet the minimum government crash test standards. How in the world did fogies like you and I survive childhood without the use of crash helmets and elbow pads. It truly is a Christmas miracle that we made it this far in our lives.
The design appears to allow for some air leakage around the intake plenum. I would prefer a more traditional style with superior sealing around the filter for something that is changed at most one time a year. Just my opinion about but it does appear as though they attempted to reinvent the mousetrap.
Well, it’s up to the dealer. Almost every dealer in America is charging over invoice. Check the on,one forums and you might find a dealer that doesn’t charge a premium. I’ve seen them go from $2,000 to $8,000 over invoice. I think there is a dealer in Minnesota that charges MSRP but you have to be a resident of Minnesota. Good luck as the purchase of one of these may drive you to drink.
Love the Telluride but really wish it had a digital cluster. If the Palisade comes standard with the larger screen and navigation on all trims for 2022 I may have to consider that.
@@aceman4161 Consumers had already complained/suggested to kIA about a digital cluster but i believe KIA has their own reason for not including it in Telluride but it was included in 2022 Sorento. I didn't have that when i had my 2019 sorento.
Sorry if I came off as being a downer on the car. I’m just pointing out things that aren’t quite right in my eyes. Just my opinion. That being said, the car is very nice and I really like it plus it’s a business write off. Thanks for watching.
@derek flint In fact, I wrote that as a complaint. 😄 All modern cars are moving to the shift-by-wire system since it offers more automation as well as opens up storage spaces below the dash.
@@mavfan1 I already knew that. Similar polarization had also occurred during the transition from manual gears to automatic gears. However, complaints died down over time and now almost everyone accepts automatic transmission as default. The same thing will play out for electronic shifters as well.

New logo is just dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The K backwards N logo?
Why is the air filter lame? That's genius not having to use a screwdriver. Easiest air filter change ever.

$16k markup at the Chantilly VA dealership. Absolutely ridiculous.
Yikes. That’s crazy. They are at Yukon pricing. That’s crazy!
Special order one. Took 10 weeks but I got exactly what I wanted with zero markup.
Get a bug screen for the grill.
How did u get it so quickly? Maybe because it is close to Kia plant in GA? I live in WA and my order has not been allocated yet..
We ordered in late April but the 2021 allocation was built. This was a total surprise to me and the car dealership. Just got lucky.
Waiting to see how it looks like with blacked out emblem. Also let us know how to black it out.

What type of cargo mat do you have in the back for protection?
The cargo mat is the one that came with the car. As far as I know, it was included from the factory.
Did they add wireless Apple CarPlay?
I know it has CarPlay, but through 2021 only the K5 and Sorento has wireless CarPlay. Was hoping they updated the 2022 telluride with it

I totally agree.
It’s not strange. It’s selling like crazy and they have a new emblem they want to be seen. People who care that much can easily do it themselves.
Can you take some pictures of it further back?
Try this forum. I posted several pics. tellurideforum.org/threads/2022-pictures.8242/page-7
Air filter is "lame"? I don't get that comment really. Something that's easy to service? why would we want that? Otherwise, nice run-thru.
I feel as though it doesn’t seat well in the housing. I honk they reinvented the mouse trap so to speak with this design.
What the price for it
