How we feeling about this? When they first teased it with their “camo” I didn’t think I liked the front end but it’s grown on me (especially the X-Pro trim they’ve been letting people review and crawl around).

The thing I don’t like is the drive selector stick on the steering wheel column…it’s the same as on the Palisade, and when I test drove one it wasn’t bad but it’s not “normal” so felt weird. I’m sure I’d get used to it but I wasn’t a big fan.

The ass is 100% LR-esc, and I like it. The silhouette reminds me a LR too but not a near exact copy lol the front end is more masculine than the Palisade and I think I like it.

Depending on pricing, I’ll be looking into an SX Prestige X-Pro (unless they change the trims).

I’ll be working with my local Kia dealer so I’ll ask when we can start ordering them and if I can get pricing sheets before you guys do, I’ll share with y’all.
 
I agree! The other models they've since revealed have less plastic-y front ends that look better but I like that the X-Pro has actual tow hooks and an extra inch or so of ground clearance.

I've been in contact with my local Kia dealer as I was set on getting a 2026 Kia Telluride SX Prestige X-Pro (good lord, what a name/trim level) but now that this is out, and supposedly ready for order next spring...I think I'll tough out this one car life a while longer until I can see one in person.

Only thing that I really do not care for is the weird gear selector being on the steering column. It's the same as on the Hyundai Palisade and when I test drove that it was kind of weird to figure out when backing out and such lmao
 
Honestly the rear end's the move. That LR silhouette without being obvious is way harder to execute than just straight-up copying it like some brands do. Kia nailed it there.
