If you're in the market for a three-row midsize SUV, you'd do well to check out the 2023 Kia Telluride. Since its introduction in 2020, the Telluride has accumulated a long list of awards and accolades for its blend of comfort, convenience, and value.
For 2023, the Telluride receives a mild styling refresh, but it remains instantly recognizable. The interior is new and its modern execution includes a curved glass display. The cabin continues to draw praise for its sturdy construction and materials that rival some luxury vehicles. There are also two new trim levels available with added off-road capabilities: the X-Line and X-Pro.
The Kia Telluride is the standard by which other SUVs in the class are judged. The related Hyundai Palisade is its closest rival since they share most of their mechanical components. Other worthy competitors include the Honda Pilot, Volkswagen Atlas, and Mazda CX-9.
The 2023 Kia Telluride is available in 10 trim levels: LX, S, EX, EX X-Line, SX, SX X-Line, SX X-Pro, SX Prestige, SX Prestige X-Line, and SX Prestige X-Pro. All come with front-wheel or optional all-wheel drive.
At a time when many carmakers are replacing larger six-cylinder engines with turbocharged four-cylinders, the 2023 Kia Telluride sticks with a burly 3.8-liter V6 that produces 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. That makes it one of the most powerful in the class and gets the Telluride to 60 mph in about 7.5 seconds, which is respectable for a three-row SUV. The eight-speed automatic transmission strikes a good balance between fuel economy and responsiveness, delivering power on demand.
All that horsepower from the Kia's big, brawny V6 does limit the 2023 Telluride's fuel economy. Mileage is only average for this class. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates the front-wheel-drive 2023 Kia will deliver 20 mpg in city driving and 26 mpg on the highway. All-wheel drive dips those numbers to 19/24 mpg city/highway. During our testing, an all-wheel-drive 2022 Telluride earned 20 mpg in mixed driving around Southern California cities and freeways. In this class, the Toyota Highlander is the fuel-efficiency leader, especially in hybrid trim.

Made me laugh when he says a 54k car is a steal...prices of cars are out of control
My thoughts exactly!!
@amp_edition worth every penny
For this kind of money may as well buy a 4runner. A proper offroad vehicle that will long outlive this kia. And their resale value is much stronger than kia.
It’s relative to what you get
@@pyronic120120for off-road sure but for most people that think about off-roading but never do. Telluride all the way. Three row, current tech and a 10yr/100k warranty…..it’s an easy choice.
I like how you had me thinking you were going to bash the Kia Telluride 😄. I was ready to hit the thumb down lol. You are absolutely right these Kia Tellurides are awesome vehicles!!
I have the original Telluride and have had it for four years. No problems at all with the vehicle and still drives like it’s brand new.
I have had my 2021 Seltos SX for 3 years with 36,000 miles and it also drives flawless and solid as a rock. Interior is holding up better than any of my former vehicles. I always lease, so I often have new cars. After my 3 year lease on Ford Escape- it felt more like I had it 6 years in terms of ride quality diminishing. Ford Fusion after that and it also showed its age. In the Seltos for 4 year lease but looking to maybe turn in early for a 2023 Tucson or Sportage. Mainly just for the extra space and they are 🔥🔥🔥
I just got the 2024 telluride. So happy we went with kia. Ppl can continue to try and shame these cars cuz " it's a kia" but they have stepped their game up
The thing is the 6 cylinder kia vehicles are great. If you start getting the 2.0l or 2.4L that's where most problems occur. Even the old 2016-2021 3.3L sorentos were reliable.
@@packers12to80Well in reality it's still a kia. I am gonna say they have come a long way from the early 2000s and have improved alot. That's like saying a bmw or Mercedes is still a Bmw. I'm not hating kia or hyndai but they are still a budget brand. A kia rio sell for $18K brand new.
@ronijr4918 well that kia is ranking extremely high In its class. So just maybe ya shouldn't judge all their vehicles like their bottom budget line Rio....no?
We got our Telluride last month and no single regret! My favorite unit already! Super duper recommendable for families!
But it’s still a kia! Should get a BMW instead
Has anyone tried to steal it yet
@@tommymills576 that’s the older models with an ignition key. Hyundai and Kia are installing the push button start switch to replace the key start on all models free of charge.
you should now ,,,,recall 430K Telluride due to Rollaway issue! Good luck!
Owned a Sedona, a Forte, Spectra and 2 Rio's and never had any issues with any of them. Enjoy the Telluride. It's a beautiful vehicle and one of the best suv's you can buy.
Good to hear you still like the vehicle. We build them all day in West Point, GA. Hope you get one soon! Later in ‘25, you can trade for EV9 when it comes. Btw love the scruffy look.
Hello Jay,
Last November 2022 we ordered a Telluride EX, and by the end of February, still no word on it’s build date. After watching numerous KIA Telluride comparison videos, we cancelled the EX and reordered the SX on March 3rd 2023, and it was built on April 14th, 2023. We must have gotten into just the right cycle. Bye the way, this is our 4th KIA from West Point a
Jay, this is a continuation of my last post.
So you folks build get cars and it is amazing that you do all that in one plant.
A few weeks ago I picked up the trailer tow kit from a KIA dealer, so in the Spring I will get it installed. Know one seems to know why the lift gate latch has to be changed
Sorry, to big fingers. If you work at the plant, pass the word, thanks for building such nice vehicles.

@@dw.7655maybe due to the recall about wires. I don’t know for sure.
@@dw.7655I will. Thank you for the support. I’m from NY & lived in Syracuse back in the day.
Good luck trying to get one without a markup.
Dude. You put out a great video but don’t mention any specs on gas mileage?? Or, hear me out, HOW DOES IT DRIVE??!
Would You Recomend this over the New Highlander Hybrid? Especially since Toyota has a History of being more Reliable.
bad news for some , its GDI engine, maintanance is expensive in some countries. not worth buying it for real. and not good with natural gas systems.
Agree mines is 2021 with 46,000 miles on it, and it is consuming oil like crazy
Just seen a "Telluride" blowing out heavy blue smoke as it leaves a drive through, maybe call it "Tell your mechanic" instead, truly a car for people who know nothing about Quality cars, Im driving a 1988 Lincoln Cartier TC with 256,000 miles, apparently kia made these "TellyourMechanic" good enough to leave the dealer lot, and not much else. Junk at it's finest
my neighbors telluride needed a motor and now a 12k transmission but warranty and insurance wont cover it. how much is kia paying u

We took delivery of our 2023 xPro a couple months ago. Took 18 months to get it. Definitely a great SUV. I do wish they did dual exhaust and staggered wheels…but I’m getting picky 😅
We've wished the dual exhaust since the 2020 model. And 4yrs still no dual exhaust
KIA tricks the consumer with the 100k warranty and decent car designs. but the engines have excess metal shavings inside that leads to failure
also, their 100k warranty is only for the power train. The electronics and gadgets are warrantied for less than that. And they seem to use sub par components that fail all too soon as well. So all those gadgets and gizmos might nice the first few years, but will start failing and glitching out past their warranty period.
Definitely a nice vehicle...but....
These go for up and around 55k. At that price Id rather get something much more reliable....like the Honda Pilot. Or the upcoming Land Cruiser. Hell for a bit more you can get something much better in a Lexus GX.
Yes Kia/Hyundai have been doing much better with their reliability but they are still leagues behind a Toyota or a Honda. So yes this might be a decent vehicle today....how about 2 or 3 or even 5 years from now? It will be worth next to nothing, where something like a Land Cruiser of a GX will still be highly valued.
So yes a nice ride....but not worth the money in the long run.
haha I forgot about that land crousier. And yes, for 55k you may as well get a lexus GX or a 4Runner TRD off-road or Off-road pro.
Imagine thinking you can get a Lexus gx for 55. 🤣
@@joelc9329 nobody said you could lol

I have a 23 Telluride X Line, bought it January 2023 for $59,844 and actually drove 7.5 hours to another state to get the color I wanted. It’s Dawning Red exterior with quilted baseball glove colored leather interior. It has all the bells and whistles. I’ve only had one recall for the parking brake, which was just a software update. I drove it from my home in Saint Simons, Georgia to Bozeman Montana four months after I purchased it and it handled beautifully. Going through South Dakota where the speed limits in some places was 85 mph, in sport mode, my Telluride handled like a rocket. My other vehicle is a bulletproof 5.7 L V8 Tundra double cab, which gets 16.2 miles per gallon. It’s not the best vehicle to drive across the country on a 3000 mile road trip. My Telluride averaged 35 miles per gallon driving across the country. The heated seats were just what was needed on cold Yellowstone nights, and the cooling feature on the seats was needed and welcomed in Las Vegas, where it was hotter than hell. I love my Telluride.
My gf has the 2023 Sportage and I have learned to like it. I am thinking of getting the Telluride and think will do great here in South Florida. Liked the review, I clicked the bell :)
Immediately getting bad vibes from this dude.
If you think you hate me now... watch more.
Looks great but resale value after 5 yrs probably would be nothing and would I feel safe taking this from NY to Florida probably not.
Infinity QX60 is around the same price range and a much better quality vehicle not to say that the KIA is not a bad choice
Owned the 2023 - at 12k miles. Alternator died and left family member stranded. Traded it immediately and went back to lexus. 60k - crappy dealership experience and a dead alternator at 12 k - will never buy another Kia
Its funny because moat Americans can not afford this a more affordable price would be 20-25k
A Kia for 30+k dollars??? This economy made people and UA-camrs to conform to this. I am glad the car market sunk
Kia Crap ..
Not sure who needs to hear this…but STOP ACTING LIKE KIAS ARE LUXURY VEHICLES.
Telluride is a good-looking SUV inside and outside.
My wife's on her 2nd, about to get a third and we have had zero issues or complaints
Bought a brand new 2020 Kia Telluride EX. Still have it and absolutely love it.
I have a 2017 bmw x5 now and now we have two small kids so we will have 2 rear facing car seats for the next 3-4 years. How much space is there for that? Big difference to the people up front once you put those car seats in rear facing position in my x5. Think this telluride will really help in that area?
Definitely will make a big difference there is a ton of room for reverse facing car seats
Tik tok ruined kia for me. These kids don’t even care if you can’t steal it. Bc its a Kia they are still breaking the windows. My friend has had to replace her back window 3 times already since february this year. She has the new k5. Its so sad😢
Tik Tok should be at fault for that but I feel you.
Clever "Click-Bait" title again. Another flim-flam guy. Insatiable drive to deceive the public to get more hits on your channel. What happened to honesty, integrity, transparency, and avoidance of trickery? Have you ever thought about getting into politics?
Kia and Hyundai are trash vehicles often driven by aggressive and unsafe drivers. I notice this a lot in the Denver metro area.
I was about to cancel my contract😅😅
Junk buddy.. sorry to burst your buddy that its a good vehicle.
Thanks so much I will definitely not get a Telluride based on your review! Whew that was close I almost bought one but thanks to you I will not buy a Telluride at all Now!
Hope you enjoy it!
The very first minute of this guy just throws me off the desk...
I say I settled for the 2023 Hyundai Palisade, but they are both amazing vehicles. I have a 2021 Telluride as well.
If you want your SUV to last beyond 150k miles, buy Toyota or Honda. If you plan to sell or trade earlier than that time, buy Kia/Hyundai

You wouldn’t believe it. But we own a Hyundai Veracruz 2012 Limited edition. Just so you know, we used it for long drive (California to New Jersey) and 3 back to back trips to New Brunswick Canada and a lot more out of state trips. Hyundai never fails us.

Still not bigger inside, and doesn't have the HP or the room behind the 3rd row that my 2023 Traverse has. Plus it was $5000 cheaper (CDN prices). I'm happy with my decision.
Who wants a freakin' Chevy?
My wife has a 23 Traverse Premier. I might be getting a Telluride. Space wise Traverse kills it, especially behind third row and under the cover extra space. Telluride feels more premium though with better tech and soft touch materials. 23 Traverse to me looks like a van. Now the upcoming 2024 Traverse in Z71 trim would be nice as long as it comes with the tech features i want.
@@al151 I'm not sold on a 4-banger turbo pulling such a large vehicle, I wish they left the V6, at least as an option, for the '24 Traverse. Not sure of the longevity of that engine. I'd need to drive one, of course, but I don't think I'd keep it out of the warranty period, just to be on the safe side.
We have been using Traverses for work vehicles for years now and just got a 2023 about 5 months ago. I have a 2022 Hyundai Palisade SEL and get the chance to compare these vehicles almost daily.
- Comfort, noise levels, power delivery all better on the Palisade. Traverse engine is particularly more noisy and less refined. Has more peak power, but not as tractible everywhere else.
- Interior design of the Traverse is still circa 2015. Terrible piano black finish, 3 different faux metal finishes, and terrible GM corporate switchgear.
- Traverse automatic 9 speed transmission is not as smooth or intelligent as the Kia/Hyundai 8 speed
- Safety and driver assist features on the Palisade are much more advanced than what our work vehicles have had at similar trim levels
- Chevrolet Traverse reliability has been god awful for numerous years, according to Consumer Reports. Make of that what you will.
I shopped the Traverse when I was buying early in 2022 and the interior of the Palisade was just a more modern space to be in. Maybe the 2024 total redesign will close the gap, but I was shopping in 2022 not 2024.
given the lack of luxury features that a traverse has compared to the telluride, of course it is going to be cheaper. almost 300 hp is plenty for an suv of its size
I’m sorry but if I had the money and was looking for a family suv I would not care to ask my wife because it my money and I’m driving it. So if she doesn’t like it then walk😂😂😂.
So true
Your title is deceiving! What are you ..a used car sales guy?
Good riddance.
Yes, I'm a used car sales guy LOL - Cya!
I just got the fully loaded one and is amazing
Of course it is. It’s really odd that people buy other vehicles in the same class. There is no comparison to the Telluride. Palisade is a great vehicle, but the styling leaves much to be desired to say the least.
@@Ricky-mo6mvPalisade has wind noise issue but interior is more luxurious
@@al151 That’s seems to be the usual consensus. However, the exterior of the Palisade so happens to be one of my least favorite designs. I get spooked out whenever I drive beside or in back of one because it looks just like a hearse in a funeral procession.
The way they cut off the rear portion of the vehicle from the rest of the design is the largest problem. Just like the Chevy Equinox which is another very poorly designed vehicle with the same ailment.
Got one about 3 months ago and love it. Stumbled on this video , I follow u on Ironman darts UA-cam page and had to do a double take when u stumbled on this video lol

Rather get an X5.
Well I bought the 2023 SX model and glad I did. Best SUV I've owned. JMO
On my 2nd Telluride, no issues no complaints.
For that price the engine will still blow at 60-80k miles. Welcome tp Kia and Hyundai.
Getting rid of my 2020 next year, hope I make it through the year!
Why would the engine blow at 60k? Any engine would blow if you drive like a blonde American woman anyways.
I watched, commented and then subscribed in 2020 after you first reviewed the Telluride. I had just traded in my X5 for the top trim end of 2019. I don't put a lot of miles on the car...but it's been great. Have two kids and we still enjoy the vehicle. Our other vehicle is the Model X. The only downside I see in the Telluride experience is the Kia dealer... they are the achilles heel. They could've leveraged the Telluride to become a trusted and loved seller...in the end, they haven't been able to handle being the hot girl at the party.
Full disclosure: I bought online and out of state. Paid msrp plus shipping.
I have 2023 x-pro and no regrets at all. I had BMW, Infiniti, VW before.
Choosing a car will depend on your personal tastes and economic circumstances, but Kia has many great options, and it is clear that it is a brand that has reflected the needs of consumers well in recent years. I am sure that if you buy a model from a premium brand, the price will be over 80k.

I owned one Kia Telluride 2022 one of the worst car I have ever driven. I have so many issues with the vehicle. Engine oil burning and rear axel differential oil leaked.
Luv my 22 sx prestige. The only complaint is the recalls and the
bells for everything. Otherwise it's a great vehicle. Ran this through. colorado mtn snow packed roads with stock tires without a prob. Plenty of room for ski gear for 2 people with a storage rack on top 3 to 4 people could easily travel on multiple day ski trips. My friend is 6'4" and sat in the back comfortably.
For being a 2023, built piss poor & having "almost 500 Horsepower" 0-60 in 7.5 seconds is suck balls, I think it's over rated, primarily because almost 500 horsepower & 0-60 in 7.5 seconds is slower than molasses, I'm just going to leave it at that, it's over rated.
Click bait…
I had a 2022 and loved it- until the alternator failed at 12k miles and left my family member stranded. Dealer experience was awful. No more Kias. I went back to Lexus
This dude is trying way to hard
How hard should I try?
yes, you are right don't buy it! Yes, nice at first but long-term durability is not there if you plan to keep it for a long time.... They have so many problems with their engines. But the main reason I would do a hard pass is that Kia wants too much for it and the price GOUGING is crazy (when the truck with be worth nothing in a few years.. people fall for this and get wrapped up in bad loan/lease terms which puts many owners upside partly from the price gouging and what they are worth in a few years. if they need to trade etc. Sorry Kia does not retain value over the long term.... They were once cheaper alternatives than the competition making it an "okay" buy but step into a dealer now and you will see what I mean.... The bottom line price per long-term value is still not there with KIA/Hyundai.... oh forgot to mention good luck with dealer service if there is a problem... this is also one of the main down falls of the company

I am not going to take apart an intake and scrape off carbon deposits off the back of intake valves. That's ridiculous. If you want one, buy one. Put your money where your mouths is, I'll see you at 70k miles. 😆
@@justacinnamonbun8658I can vouch for this, I have a Passat with a TSI (GDI and turbo) engine and it’s already having longstanding issues at 50k miles
@@justacinnamonbun8658What 2024 suv would you recommend if your choices were a Passport, Palisade or Highlander?
@@yatusabe2537 I would get the Highlander with the V6 if I could find one with low miles or a Pilot which is bigger and cheaper than a Passport, but if it has VCM technology I'd either pass or deactivate it. Last choice would be the Hyundai Palisade/Kia Telluride. I guess the Highlander if it's a 2024 wouldn't have the V6 so I guess I'd skip a 2024 and look for whatever year was the last year they used the V6.
I love the way they look and I was fully looking at one for the wife but the fire issues of the past models, cracking windshields, ripping seats, and heat issues steered me away. I will say I love that screen set up and integration to the in care entertainment.
BUT 109hp less than the explorer ST. $55K for a kia? Dude I couldn't, got my Explorer ST 400HP, massaging seats, heated cooled, real leather seats not pleather and it isn't riddled with problems. I do hope that ride holds up for you, it looks very nice.
