For 2021 the EX can now have the LED headlights with the premium package 👍. Full detailed review coming soon. *Thanks for watching and have a great day!*
I will never buy another Kia. Period. We contacted the Kia Corporate office to help with an issue we had after our car broke down on the side of the interstate 2 times after being serviced at 2 different Kia dealerships, Langdale Kia in Valdosta and Crown Kia in Saint Petersburg. Kia Corporate gave us the run around, telling us they would send our service request upper management to have it approved. After 3 weeks, they finally told us that no our car wasn’t under warranty! What?! It’s like they didn’t even read what we submitted. Kia doesn’t know how to fix their own vehicles and doesn’t care if they break down multiple times. This has been a horrible experience. Now we have a car we own that can’t be repaired since Kia doesn’t even know how to fix it.
I'm picking up my '21 Telluride EX AWD with Nightfall, Premium, Towing packages ...Wolf Gray....with side step rails and roof rack.....getting it tomorrow......so excited!
I had the worst experience having a Kia car. This was my first time I chose Kia because I liked the car that I was going to lease. The previous two cars that I drove were Toyota and they never ever gave me problems that usually an older car gives (one Problem on top of another). Imagine you trust the company, you get a brand new car thinking that “hey it’s a new car. I’m not going to have all the problems that old cars give" and then one day you wake up, your car is not starting, the next day brake lights don’t work, the following week another problem comes up.
Hello James Kalna, I am pretty much contemplating of getting the EX with same features that you mentioned including the roof rack. How much did you pay for it? It might help me compare and negotiate the price. Also, how long is the wait time before it arrived? Thanks
Picked up my 2021 Telluride SX Prestige AWD with Nightfall and tow package in mid-November. This vehicle has exceeded my expectations. It’s not perfect and there are things I don’t particularly care for (smaller fuel tank and range, the center console makes it difficult or impossible to rest your elbow on while driving) but overall, nothing else comes close to the value and I’m very satisfied with the purchase. For those thinking about buying but don’t want to wait, it’s worth it.
Great review! I own a 2020 SX-P and I’m in love with it! I imagine it’s the same on this 2021 model, but placement of the head up display can be adjusted to your liking. You can even change the color. Thanks for another great vid! 👍🏼😃
You guys gotta see the "TellURide" in person because its till you ride it you can't judge. - It's an amazing, attainable, family SUV if you are lucky enough to *reserve one. Nice Content btw. Not a lot reviewers do night vids.
Wow, I didn’t know you could get LED headlights on the EX trim now. That’s great to know - Thanks! I prefer the 2nd row bench seat to the captains chairs (like to make back into a bed to car camp). Would really love it if they’d offer bench seat in the LX trim so you could get all the other bells and whistles.
@@PrimeAutotainment any idea if kia is planning to have second row bench for top trim any time soon? It's so weird that both palisade and telluride have this ridiculous issue. And it's more frustrating cos in Canada they have this option. Trying to upgrade a palisade SEL or a telluride EX doesn't work too cos they still end up missing the 2nd sunroof or the better speakers, etc. So frustrating! No idea why captain's chairs should be considered default for top trims and bench not even an option.
The telluride is gorgeous I love it. But I’m waiting for the all new Sorento I think the Sorento is very very handsome looking SUV in my opinion. Well done Kia! Great review bro. Can u plz review the new Sorento when they lunch it! God bless you 🙏
I agree. I have owned a 2014,2016, and 2019 Sorento. I may get a 2021 model. But they jacked up some of the options. They saved some of the options to move people to the Telluride.
Mark Mangus How’s Your experience about your Sorento,s so far. I want to trade my 17 Highlander for the 2021 Kia Sorento. And a couple of people have been talking about Kia cars breaking down a lot. It scared me but I personally love the all new Kia Sorento they’re very very handsome SUV in my opinion. It looks like Range Rover Velar lol..
@@cozmageorge793 I have had 3 Sorentos, my son has a 2017 Sportage and 2020 Optima, and my daughter had a 2017 Soul that she misses ( had a baby and needed more room). None of us have had ANY problems with the cars. Not once!
This car has beautiful illumination inside but I can't say the samething for the outside. Great idea have all door open to see how much illumination have...keep with the great work..
Great video..interesting.and unique Hyundai and Kia are light years ahead of other auto manufacturers Consumer Reports used to grade headlights..loved it. So important I dont think they do it anymore.👎 I hope to find tests with more vehicles..keep up the great work
I really like it a lot. I'm still drawn to the Hyundai Palisade in hyper-white , with a light crème interior. If I hadn't seen the Palisade, I'd be all over the Telluride. I do think I'm going to wait until the supply/demand curve flattens out a bit. I think the prices are still a bit high. Great night time video -- thanks!
We just got an 2021 SX Nightfall in Wolf Grey last week. We had put an order in with a dealer, but then they had one coming in that the customer who ordered it no longer wanted because it didn't have the tow package, so we were able to snag it.
No I haven’t heard but I would assume they can be. Most brands have a spot you can manually turn or a boot to twist to adjust it but sorry I never got to see for sure
Hello, the reason the high beams are lower is because when they first came out (2020), a lot of sedan drivers (no tint) complained they were being blinded as the headlights were right in their mirrors. Or when they approached at night, they got blinded. It was considered a safety concern and a recall sent out. I have a black on black 2020 SX-P and went in to get mine adjusted since I did receive some complaints from neighbors. They probably left them lowered for later models.
Really nice exterior but the interior👎 the cluster need to be like palissade or the 2021 sorento. They forgot to put the most important buton lith up .. the one that you need to see if its dark and you want to open the interior light yes the one over ur head everything light up why not that one 🤪 but still good interior just less luxurious than its rival Palissade. Good video well done.🤬
That’s crazy town!! It has great options but compare it to a Mazda CX-5 Grand Reserve Signature or a CX-9 same trim and Mazda has a better SUV hands down. With that said great review loved how detailed it was if I was in the market for a vehicle this would be extremely useful. Keep it up
The mood/ambient light in the Telluride are a gimmick. You barely notice them even on the highest brightness. The camera picks the ambient light and really well and it makes it seems really bright and noticeable. But trust me I own a Telluride and I barely notice them. That how dim they are( the ambient light brightness setting is at 10).
Yeah, that's the only knock is a V6 shy of 300hp. Though, the pedal commander reviews for the Telluride seem good, because it gets rid of that pedal delay so at least you can accelerate a little better.
Absolutely right,in some videos they talk about first,second row heated,adaptable pedals,video entertainment,memory seats and mirrors and I have it in my old Chrysler Pacifica 2007,it’s like a joke...
For 2021 the EX can now have the LED headlights with the premium package 👍.

EX can get the amber led drl/turn signal as well with the premium package. I saw one yesterday. Very nice.
Awesome news! My bad, thanks for the update 👍

Glad to hear it!
I agree. High beam does not aim high enough.
It can be adjust probably, a little higher. But not too much.
Good to know I'm not the only one who is concerned about how my cars look at night!! 👌
Love the night reviews!!! Keep them coming 🔥
Hopefully you will get to test out Porsche’s LED matrix system headlights in the future
Thank you! Will do!
Awesome dude.As someone who loves night driving these reviews are such a joy to watch . Welldone
Thank you, glad to hear it!

That’s great to hear, it’s an awesome vehicle! Thank you!
I think it's a very cool SUV. I like it a lot and would actually consider it if had to. Your night reviews are really nice. Thank you Nolan 😊
I like it too! Thanks Key, I appreciate it!
Im in love with this front design.
Kia got some beautiful cars,SUVs etc especially the Stringer and K5
For sure, they’ve been putting out great vehicles lately 👍
You guys gotta see the "TellURide" in person because its till you ride it you can't judge.

That is a nice front end
I just got word my SX P AWD Nightfall 2022 in Gravity Gray is going to be here in 4 weeks....I can't wait!!
Clicked Like even before watching ✌ really do like all your videos 😊😊😊

Excellent review ... would like to see the night review for the Ford Explorer and Chevy Traverse as well . Keep up the great work
Thank you! I have one from the 2020 Explorer here: ua-cam.com/video/bZ5HXfOvSGc/v-deo.html
But not one on the Traverse, sorry about that!
This car has beautiful illumination inside but I can't say the samething for the outside. Great idea have all door open to see how much illumination have...keep with the great work..
Love the review hopefully I will get this suv its been my dream suv to get
Nice rear end too🤣
what gas does it take?
Nice suv,I am going to get one soon,but I still don’t know which one,I like Explorer ST,but I’m not sure yet, any suggestions?
Did you ever check to see whether the high beams were out of adjustment or that’s the pattern high beams have on the Telluride?
I need more night reviews!
Good review! A little concerned re the black interior getting too hot, as it won't be garaged. What do you think? Thanks!
With ventilated seats my 2020 SX-P with dark brown interior is cool to the touch before I leave the open parking lot at work.
Thanks for nice night review body. 👍🏻🤝
Great video..interesting.and unique
Hyundai and Kia are light years ahead of other auto manufacturers
Consumer Reports used to grade headlights..loved it. So important
I dont think they do it anymore.👎
I hope to find tests with more vehicles..keep up the great work
Thank you for watching!
All i see is luxury 😍
Whenever I see T-ride, especially White ex with black rim, It looks like police suv car. Like it
I really like it a lot. I'm still drawn to the Hyundai Palisade in hyper-white , with a light crème interior. If I hadn't seen the Palisade, I'd be all over the Telluride. I do think I'm going to wait until the supply/demand curve flattens out a bit. I think the prices are still a bit high. Great night time video -- thanks!
Can’t go wrong with the Palisade! Thanks for watching!
This whole package is amazing for mid 40k. Just wish the dealers aren't so crappy here in NY.
Put a payment on the SX Nightfall in Wolf Grey. 6-8 month wait! So stoked even though it will be for my wife.
We just got an 2021 SX Nightfall in Wolf Grey last week. We had put an order in with a dealer, but then they had one coming in that the customer who ordered it no longer wanted because it didn't have the tow package, so we were able to snag it.
6-8 months or weeks? We just put a down payment on an SX Nightfall in Wolf Grey as well! They told us 6-8 weeks.
@@claudiaanderson5964 This was back in Nov. It arrived in 3.5 months though.
@@DarksouIjah oh ok! How do you like it? I wonder if ours will take that long as well...
@@claudiaanderson5964Didn’t accept it since they wanted $1,100/month for 6 years. So we got a 2020 Mazda CX-9 GT instead.
Can't you adjust the high beam yourself?
Nice Video editing..I see you're in Garland...lol
Thanks! Close, but not quite 😁
Is the ambient lighting an option or does it come with the car ??
I'm thinking about buying one, at this price point I wished they didn't put old school knobs for the climate controls.
like it so much... night review... what a great idea
Why aren't the headlights just as bright as the smaller lights
Does the Ex and SX have HUD?
Anyone know if I can change my LED daytime running lights on my S trim Telluride to the Amber ones? Is that even possible?
I don’t really care for the black plastic cladding on the pearl white. It makes the tires look like they don’t fill the wheel wells.
Nice review and sexy Telluride!
Thank you!
beware of the eventual Battery Discharge warning then it goes downhill from there, good luck tho beautiful truck.
can you do the lower trim telluride ive heard nothing but horrible user input on the headlights lol.
Nice review
Wish the homelink buttons on the rear view mirror were Illuminated...I just depend on muscle memory at night otherwise I'm very happy.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a NIGHT REVIEW on 2022 Telluride EX Trim. 😀🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Can you customize the signal lights to other colors
Where can i find one at? What dealership
Seems like the high beams just brighter the low beams but don't add a lot of distance
Yeah that’s exactly what it looked look. Odd
I've read other people say the headlights are not that bright on the Telluride. Is it possible to install brighter aftermarket lights instead.
Didn’t know amber DLR only on sx, man I wish I could get one they are 60k for sx in NJ 8-9k over sticker is crazy
Did you ever find out if the highbeams can be adjusted up? 🤔
No I haven’t heard but I would assume they can be. Most brands have a spot you can manually turn or a boot to twist to adjust it but sorry I never got to see for sure
Hello, the reason the high beams are lower is because when they first came out (2020), a lot of sedan drivers (no tint) complained they were being blinded as the headlights were right in their mirrors.

I have a black on black 2020 SX-P and went in to get mine adjusted since I did receive some complaints from neighbors.
They probably left them lowered for later models.
What are the trims that the Kia Telluride ambient lighting come with
This multicolor lighting is just in the SX unfortunately. Not sure if the lower trims have any other ambient lighting though
Really nice exterior but the interior👎 the cluster need to be like palissade or the 2021 sorento. They forgot to put the most important buton lith up ..
the one that you need to see if its dark and you want to open the interior light yes the one over ur head everything light up why not that one 🤪 but still good interior just less luxurious than its rival Palissade. Good video well done.🤬
Can you PLEASE do an M340i 🙏🏼
If I can get ahold of one, absolutely!
Does anyone know if the ‘22 has better lights/light bending headlights?
No.. just got one SX trim..
My ambient lighting seems dim even though it is on a setting of 10 :(
Is the lighting included with the SX Prestige or is it an additional option you have to order?
The high beam is poor. It doesn't offer height, it illuminates right in the driver's immediate visual peripheral
Yeah it’s a shame those high beams don’t help very much!
Ambar DRL looks much better than white
What’s the sticker price?
The SX list about 48k but some dealers are not giving discounts because of its popularity 😏
This was MSRPd at $49 with everything but like Paris said, dealers are pricing higher or giving no discounts because of demand. Last I heard anyway
That’s crazy town!! It has great options but compare it to a Mazda CX-5 Grand Reserve Signature or a CX-9 same trim and Mazda has a better SUV hands down. With that said great review loved how detailed it was if I was in the market for a vehicle this would be extremely useful. Keep it up
Thank you very much!
Dealers that don’t give discounts, make me cry 😢. They are mean. Lol. Makes me want to buy an unpopular vehicle to teach them a lesson. (joking).
I wasn’t completely clear, is the ambient mood lighting available only on the SX model or is it an option with the EX too?
The mood/ambient light in the Telluride are a gimmick. You barely notice them even on the highest brightness. The camera picks the ambient light and really well and it makes it seems really bright and noticeable. But trust me I own a Telluride and I barely notice them. That how dim they are( the ambient light brightness setting is at 10).
I like the lights. Maybe there is something wrong with those but they don’t seem that dim to me
@@PrimeAutotainment ok thank you hope it's not a problem with my car have to get it checked out
Excellento
Better than Land Rover
Wow
I'm getting this because of you lol
I love everything about this suv, except the Power is mediocre.
Yeah, that's the only knock is a V6 shy of 300hp. Though, the pedal commander reviews for the Telluride seem good, because it gets rid of that pedal delay so at least you can accelerate a little better.
3rd row tho isn’t big to fit and adult
I'm stuck between this and the Tahoe... I'm just concerned it doesn't seem like a "man" vehicle.
I wouldn’t feel bad about driving it. Not a true truck frame like Tahoe but a lot more features for the money
that amber wraparound daylight running lights look so cheapy. That’s just an opinion.
I have to laugh about "modern tech" auto on/off headlights. My dad's 1973 Lincoln Continental had auto lights.
Haha I know...I drove an 80 something Lincoln once that had those...way ahead of their time lol
Absolutely right,in some videos they talk about first,second row heated,adaptable pedals,video entertainment,memory seats and mirrors and I have it in my old Chrysler Pacifica 2007,it’s like a joke...
