The "flat black" around the fender opening is there for when you go off road. It has over 8 inches of ground clearance so that should tell you that this vehicle is meant for that. A color matched fender opening would just get ruined if you go off road. Everything doesn't have to be color matched even if it is a higher trim. In this case, that flat black is serving a purpose.

I know it's not important, but has anyone noticed as the blinkers flash the light bar of the blinker moves from bottom to top! Fantastic little light tech Kia came up with! 💡✨️

I think for the price it should have a full panoramic sunroof. Other than that it looks really good. Very modern nice looking design almost luxurious feeling honestly.

I have a 2022 Telluride SXP in Black Copper, a great color that's no longer offered. In terms of exterior appearance, I have to say that the 2022 is probably peak Telluride. It was the first year with the new Kia badge (much better than the old one); it has better wheels and a better grille than preceding years; and it doesn't have the odd, fish-mouth lower grille featured on the 2023-2024. However, the interior tech upgrades are nice. The larger screens, etc., look great. But I wouldn’t even think of moving out of the 2022 until an all-new model appeared with a new engine.

The fact that you can't get the top trim in an eight seater version is a huge knock against this car for my needs with three kids and the need to sometimes maximize cargo space by putting up the third row. Almost a fatal one. Honda having that removable middle seat is a major plus for some families.

Know you always zonk a rear wiper when it's not hidden under the rear spoiler. I agree, but is Lexus the only vehicle that does that? I also don't understand why they didn't put one of the exhausts on the left side. Hyundai does the same thing on the Palisade.

Still driving my 2020 Telluride S AWD. It has been amazing! I thought about trading it for a.2024, but I like my 2020 too much.

Vehicle looks nice but doesn’t look anything like a Range Rover, instrument cluster looks great. Needs to have exhaust tips on both sides. Also the engine looks like it’s sinking down in the engine bay when u popped the hood, normally engines sit up a bit higher, maybe it’s just me😂… either way another informative video 👍🏽
