  • At first, we thought the people at Kia might be losing their minds with all the wonderful product they've been producing. But then we realize, WE'RE the ones who'd be crazy for not considering this all-new 2020 Kia Telluride SX V6 w/ AWD. M.S.R.P. - $46,860.

    I purchased SX V6 last week for 42k in the Memphis area. Only one on the lot. I actually got lucky because it was order for someone else with AWD and she did not want to pay the extra for AWD. I walked on the lot and test drove and the rest is history. I I think I got a great deal, especially since I woke up that morning going to look at Tahoes.

    @stephenhendricks103 5 років тому +44

    A couple of points about the asking price of the Telluride and its availability. First, it isn't the case that all KIA dealers have attached "market adjustment" second stickers to their inventory. No doubt many have/are but others have not. My local dealer in the Seattle area, for example, has a policy against adding second stickers to vehicles. Unfortunately, of course, this means there's a long waiting list at my dealer. So long, in fact, that customers looking for a top trim SX Telluride with the PP option package are told they won't be seeing the vehicle on which they put in a deposit until early 2020.
    So what's up? KIA originally expected relatively strong demand for the Telluride. They set a production schedule of 41,000 vehicles for the 2019 calendar year. Once set it's extremely difficult to alter a production schedule. Additional production lines can't be produced with a magic wand. Workers, even non-union workers, can't work 16 hours a day over an extended period. New hires can't be expected to build vehicles without training. And many of a vehicle's components aren't built by its manufacturer; they come from third party firms whose flexibility in increasing production on short notice are even more constrained.
    Once the total output was determined KIA turned to their dealers for preliminary orders. Automotive dealers are a conservative lot. They hate seeing vehicles sitting on their lots for even a month. So many dealers based their orders on their experience that KIA customers would be "budget driven,," opting for lower trim trims rather than Tellurides priced between $45K and $50K. Comparatively few top trim vehicles were ordered. And since KIA like almost all manufacturers sell their vehicles to dealers, not to consumers, relatively few top trim Tellurides were initially produced.
    And then what happened? Much to the surprise of dealers and KIA there was massive demand for the Telluride. Far more than they expected and planned for and a large part of that demand was for the top trim SX version. KIA tried to respond to the demand but found that some components needed for the SX (e.g. second row captain chairs) were in short supply from the firm building them. Production had to be halted until the shortages were resolved.
    Demand will settle into a more predictable pattern. KIA will adjust their production schedule for 2020 and dealers will recognize that their customers are somewhat ahead of them in recognizing that KIA is not longer a purely budget brand. But it will all take a while.

    • @Maxfli82
      @Maxfli82 5 років тому +4

      Excellent analysis. I think reviews like this show consumers that Kia has completely turned around. Top trims like the SX and SXL now have some of the best technology and value in any price category. Well done Kia. I guess high demand is a good problem to have.

    Makes you wonder how Bentley charges over 5 times the price for their Bentayga? I can see twice, MAYBE even thrice the price, but certainly not quintuple. That's just outright haughtiness!

    You left out one thing in a lot of people leave out of their review. The power liftgate has a memory function. You can set the heighth on how high the power liftgate opens. open the power liftgate pull to the desired height hold the power button for 3 seconds.

    I have an SX (non-prestige package) and it’s great. Ton of bang for the buck, assuming you can find a dealer who’s not trying to get $5-10k above MSRP because supply is scarce and reviews are good. We just got back from a 2 week road trip in it, and had zero complaints.

    The exhaust pipes on the right side only trigger my OCD. Dual pipes on both sides would balance the rear end lower fascia. Still, an impressive SUV for Kia's first real full size entry in the arena.

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  5 років тому

      Yup. Very impressive, J High. We felt the same way about the mid-2000s Pontiac GTOs, before they put the duals on each side. These on the Telluride don't bother us as much, though. LOL. Thanks for watching!

      Yeah. It's a fairly large vehicle, canonlybeme4life. So if you've got a lot of stuff/people to move around, it's worth a consider. Fortunately, it doesn't drive that large, either. And this is coming from someone who prefers a good hatchback or wagon. As always, thanks for watching!

    I started looking online for this vehicle while I was overseas. I was also looking at the Range Rover. I finally got one in which I was offered unlimited years/one million mile power train warranty from Kia only for vehicles purchased at that particular dealership.
    I purchased the vehicle. And I must say I’m extremely in pressed with all the features inside & the body style outside. Plus, it’s way cheaper than paying for a brand new Range Rover.

    Purchased Kia telluride two weeks ago, took it out to Los Angelos from Monterey Ca. It was great but the android panel controls froze up because it was exposed to the sun. I called the dealer to see how we can reset the control panel. He said we have to bring it in so they can reset it. We were on our way home about two hours away. After we got back about 7 hours later in a cooler environment the android panel finally started responding to our touch. I hope this will not be a problem because The panel easily exposed to the sun so it seems to heat up quickly if your in the sun. You might think about using a window cover to cover the android panel. I have the 2020 model with everything on it. Trying to schedule appointment so they can tell us what we need to do so this does not happen again. Wish me luck.

Didn't plan on buying a car at all that weekend but we drove past a dealership and they had four. We test drove ours with 21 miles on it. Bought it and by the time we left a short time later, contracts were done on all four. At the time we didn't realize how popular they were. Purchased for 43k way less than they wanted. Luckily I'm married to a negotiator, lol. Right now I'm only at 2300 miles. I only wish it had a V8 motor.
