Just bought a Telluride LX, third one sold in Alaska- from Lithia Anchorage. Love it! Was a Sedona van owner before- but needed AWD. Perfect rig! Thank you Richard from Anchorage Lithia Kia Dealer...
Congrats. How was the Sedona? how many years did you own it? I was looking for Sedona then I saw Telluride, still debating between both, Heart wants Telluride but Mind says Sedona, what do you think space wise inside between the 2.
Telluride is the ultimate luxury suv. I put luxury KLexus badge overlays on mine It keeps car snobs guessing what it is. Range Rover , Caddy, Lincoln , and Mercedes are common guesses
My brother-in-law just bought a Black Cooper SX. I really liked it. One thing I like about Kia's is they give you a lot of features for the money. Got me wanting one. The only thing I hear is because demand is so high, the dealers don't go down much on price. Plus, you might have to wait for yours to come in.
Do you think the FWD is safe to buy ? I live in Northeast Pa, we get a wintery mix of weather but I'm not sure if AWD is worth the extra $$$ Thank you so much and awesome video..Rich
one year later but i just picked up my telluride and although the different modes aren't supposed to do much of a difference, but for me keeping snow mode on when it snowed this week definitely served the same job as AWD for me i also think that the AWD isn't worth it but give it a shot if you want to
Awesome vid review Brian 🙂. Kia has certainly come a very long way, and my very first car was actually a 1998 Kia Sephia during my high school days, it was dark green with a light tan color interior. The Telluride is certainly the biggest Kia ever made, and I feel it is bigger than the former short lived Borrego. The second row legroom is insanely spacious, and the recline is truly impressive. Kia has undoubtedly become a bold car brand that has far removed itself from Kia's of the early days. Brian, I'm honestly surprised that a vehicle the size of the Telluride would be offered in FWD and not have AWD standard across all trims. Kia is already a value brand company, you know more car and features for not much money. I think standard AWD could make this even more of a hot seller. Btw, a quick aside, I watched a throwback vid of you and your red 2011 Genesis coupe. I watched the one where you decided to sell your Genesis coupe, and it occurred to me as I noticed your surroundings during that video that you went to UNCG. I too went to college there and graduated from the Bryan School of Business and Econ, class of 2016. I was in college with you and never realized it. It's a celebrity was among the UNCG community. Awesome 😄.
Lol yeah we were in the same business school! AWD is available which is nice. But I guess to keep this able to start off less expensive, FWD is standard
This is the best car review I’ve ever watched. Very detailed and explained very thoroughly. Glad I found your channel. Thank you so much. I will be purchasing a Telluride very soon 😊
TBH I had pretty low expectations since this is the base model but honestly I shouldn't have because this is still really nice! Now I would still want the SX but this is strong as well. The KIA model configurator online does not do this LX justice because it looks hideous on there but these shots made it really nice.
This beast gets great mileage for its size and looks awesome! Move over Toyota Sequioa, Nissan Amarda, Chevy Suburban, fancy Lincoln Navigator and even the overpriced GMC truck- Cadillac Escalade for quality and warranty. lol *I love the clean and simple interior so there’s less stuff to break compared to the competitors. Especially with the electrical stuff.

Well said. I put luxury KLexus badge overlays on mine and no one believes it’s a KIA! They keep guessing Caddy, Range RoverLincoln , and BMW
I agree, it is nice and beats all of its competition but it doesn't compare to any of the vehicles you mentioned. It's competition is as follows: Toyota- Highlander Nissan- Murano Chevy- traverse Lincoln- aviator GMC- Acadia Cadillac- xt6
KIA should make all 20 inch wheel to Telluride, coz 18 inch wheel looks very small to big Body . 20 inch wheel looks perfectly matching to Telluride suv.
Finally an SUV that is a SUV... It sits up nice and high.. Great visibility means better safety. Very unfortunate trend with just about every new vehicle, is to make the newer version lower in stance. I think that is a bad move.. Oh, and I love the silver matte wheels .. They look great.. better than the other terrible trend, which is making the wheels blacked out. Good job Kia..
I test drove the S model and except for the sun roof and 18 vs 20 in wheel I don't see any difference between LX and S. Do you know what the differences are?
If I know the LX and S models have imitation leather, then you should DEFINITELY know it in your video. At 3:53 you call plastic armrest "leather." It's like you never researched the product before making a video.
Never buy new. I'll wait a 2yrs years and get it for masive discount as a second owner from a lease type buyer. Yall take care of my baby. Ill see you 2022
Kia has definitely stepped up their game over the years for sure! Take a look at Toyota as well, the Venza or highlander would compete with the Telluride!
You can fit 8 six foot adults in a truck like this for no more than an hour. It will get a group of adults to a sport's game or movie or beach etc for a short trip. Anything over an hour starts to be uncomfortable

I bought one where I live. I love it and I haven't seen one here yet. They are on order. People take pictures and ask questions.
@@Awilli9071 how much out the door
@Armando Sturzenegger I don't think so.
Does LX have Nav
Four years ago today! Still my dream SUV.
I have this car!! It’s exactly what I prayed for. So grateful.
Congrats!
Thats awesome! Great SUV for the family!
The Telluride look like a beast
It is a beast. I have one. His name is Monster
@@cannon880088 lol haha
Very well constructed ,beautifully designed interior and above all it is practical. I give this a thumbs up without a doubt.
I am absolutely in love with this car ! 😍
I am also
I have one. His name is Monster.

How soft is the suspension in comfort mode? I have lower back issues.

I like this vehicle and the review even more. Thank you.
Glad you like it!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed what's the base model pricr

Love the telluride but in reality this model or the S model is the closest to reality for me to own,,love the sx model but its too expensive for me,,
Except for the sun roof and the 18 vs 20 inch wheel base I don't see much difference between the two. Do you know what the differences are?
@@MusicLuv80 What about the blind spot monitoring?
My mom got one of these last year and while it is a 2020, the one we got is the SX (AWD btw) and is silver in color
Very cool! I hope she is enjoying it! It's a nice Kia!
How many of you come here after watching the new 2020 toyota highlander?😀😀😀
I like better the 2019 exterior of highlander. The new one looks bulgy and boring except for the interior.
I got the EX, The LX is a great deal. All the things you really need are in the LX, If we get a second, i may go LX to save money.
Nice! KIA does a great job making a ton of valuable options available in many trim levels. Glad you're enjoying the Telluride!

I’m going get this exact one tomorrow 🤞🏾🥰 Thanks Husband
That will cost you a few pennies lol

3,300,000 pennies
He's a keeper. You better thank him graciously lol.
@@dillonh321 haha...!
hi how are you, so how do like the Telluride? does have LED headlights
We got a 2021 and love it
Nice! The Telluride is a great full sized SUV!
And since LX doesn't come with the sun roof, would that give little bit more head room? and also does LX come with same seat compare to S trim level?
WAIT ! Is this the entry level MODEL ? Please let me know , because I will run to buy. Please let me know !
Yeah this was more of a base model
Yes, I bought mine on Sunday. Love it
Jose Arias , does it comes with power lift gate for the trunk? Thanks.
Great review 👍👍
Thanks! 👍 Are you looking to buy one?
Would you trade an Evo X for a telluride? Input needed....Thanks
its look so so comfortable
It was!
S model comes with 20 inch wheel but if you want can you get 18?
KIA should make all 20 inch wheel to Telluride, coz 18 inch wheel looks very small to big Body . 20 inch wheel looks perfectly matching to Telluride suv.
That's how they "get you" to pay more for them. :)
Nice video, well done brother
Thanks!

just purchased ours yesterday.
Sweet! Great family sized SUV! What color did you get?
Which model did you get?
I test drove the S model and except for the sun roof and 18 vs 20 in wheel I don't see any difference between LX and S. Do you know what the differences are?
@N P thanks for the answer.
The sun roof and wheels just about it and a few trim pieces! They are also very close in price so worth the S upgrade
@@Smileydudekxy Thanks for your answer.
Do all LX models have leather?
They should have this interior. Higher trim levels will have more options.
Lx has sofino leatherette
You know, I wanna see a brand new car with a bench front seat and not buckets. Ford still does it with some of the f150s but I want to see it on a car
That would be interesting, you can do that on the new Land Rover Defender! Not too many other's offer that if any.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Oh that’s cool! I didn’t know that.
@@Nobody-nz6vy I only know that from Doug Demuros spec he got!
Very good review...👍
Thanks!
Good review ,BUT ,,,Please learn the difference between:" leather and plastic"
The front headlights looks like a cadillac escalade 2013 headlights
Yeah I can see that a bit
This trim have remote start ?
Keys fob is going to cause issues with those side mounted buttons unless they are indented
I love the Telluride, but I want captain chairs.
It's a great SUV! Not sure if they offer that or not. But I'd go for that option too!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed In the SX model they offer the Captian chairs!
Nina Sharee oh nice 👌🏼
how many air bags does LX trim have?
I'm not too sure. But I'm sure it at least has side curtain in addition
@@BrosFOURRSpeed here in UAE only SX has 6 airbags.
All trims below SX have dual airbags only
@@kanevivalakane3699 ok cool, gotcha!
Auto S/S system killed it for me.
Nice review guys!
This guy is such a herb
can you get this trim with the 12" navi
I believe so. This Telluride was more of a base model.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed that's what I was asking, I like the truck alot
Nice video
Thanks!
If this is FWD what does sport mode do?
It accelerates faster.
Kia Telluride with Hyundai Palisade dashboard and Kia Sorento steering wheel.
the LX AND the S Have leatherette.
If I know the LX and S models have imitation leather, then you should DEFINITELY know it in your video. At 3:53 you call plastic armrest "leather."
It's like you never researched the product before making a video.
Leather seats in an LX???? You seem to think EVERYTHING inside the LX is LEATHER. Jesus, kid. Wake up!
Never buy new. I'll wait a 2yrs years and get it for masive discount as a second owner from a lease type buyer. Yall take care of my baby. Ill see you 2022
Yeah I'm sure you can get one of these for a lot less then new. Some great deals I bet!
Why no automatic start. All that money
6:25 is where is had that feature!
So this and Hyundai Palisade are very similar but Hyundai seems little better in quality and technology.
The Hyundai is the same as this, I haven't checked out their version yet
Tellinguimaboutrunuover ,looking in the rear view ,lol
Telluride looks pretty sweet!
i’m afraid the kia doesn’t have a good reliability, looking to get a family car that won’t break down in the middle of the freeway
chanelenergy way more reliable than any American brand car on the road. And the Kia reputation has gotten a lot better over the years.
Kia has definitely stepped up their game over the years for sure! Take a look at Toyota as well, the Venza or highlander would compete with the Telluride!
I would think Toyota is more reliable than Kia!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed i would think that as well!
Hi
Hey! Thanks for checking out the Kia Telluride review!
Sold Out in Los Angeles. 😕
Хороший обзор, привет из России👍
Why does every 3 row suv pretty much cannot accommodate adults in the 3rd seat. If you can't accommodate adults, then it's truly not a 3 row.
I guess a van of some sort would be the only '3rd' row that has full size seats, like a Nissan NV Passenger. That even has a 4th full row :)
3rd row is for kids and midgets. If your kids can't fit back there it's because they are too old to be living at home.
@@carrollshelby8690 so I don't think manufacturers should tout then having 3 rows.
You can fit 8 six foot adults in a truck like this for no more than an hour. It will get a group of adults to a sport's game or movie or beach etc for a short trip. Anything over an hour starts to be uncomfortable
From videos I've watched, ppl say 6" can ride in the 3rd row. Granted, more comfortable is 5'10
Great video. I think my 2019 Honda Pilot LX looks better in and out...IMHO
Amtrak 2523 Lol no
Jajajajajaja no way
Manual seats, you have got to be kidding.....
The AWD SX V6 Fully Loaded Version Is Way Better. Don’t Like The LX Or S Lower Class Models.
SWURVWORLD ENT lol “lower class” model
Does this model have heated front seats?
This was more of a base model so it didn't have heated seats.
