Anyone have one? How do you like it? And have you had any issues?

I don't have one. I really like looking at them online. I can't get past the Kia thing.

Kia and Hyundai are two names that are not the same as 15+ years ago. They have come a long way to earn a seat at the table with the other brands

Neighbor just bought a white one. I keep looking out the kitchen window to admire. Haven't seen the interior up close yet, but a sharp looking SUV on the outside.

Wife and I bought one.

S model in Moss Green with the second row captains chairs.

Absolutely love it. Coming from a Tahoe the Kia rides better, has better pickup, the infotainment system blows the Tahoe completely out of the water. In my opinion, it has just as much room as the Tahoe as well. Most of the reviews online are accurate with the exception of the lacking performance. Throw it in sport mode and it will light the tires up and take off, that's plenty enough performance for something with third row seating.

It has way more features than the Tahoe we had, LT model, for 20k less. We ended up getting it around 33,500

My wife and I are looking at this while waiting for the Hyundai Palisade. We will probably purchase one of these two after we can get a closer look at both.

From my research, wait for the 2020s. They made some positive adjustments from the original 2019s

I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy one soon. I’ve liked the look of them when I first saw them. I also have a very limited amount of car dealerships to choose from. There are only 3 kinds of dealerships within a 4 hour drive of my house. We used to have to make that drive for service and it isn’t worth it. So I have limited options.

My wife and I bought one about a month ago and absolutely love it. The exterior look is nice. As another poster said, the infotainment system is legit. It certainly has some getup in Sport mode.

We do not have one, but looked at some when car shopping. Very good looking cars. Honestly, Kia gives you excellent value. We went with the smaller SUV from Kia (Sportage) as we got a phenomenal deal on it and we didn't need as much space as the Telluride provided. If we needed a larger vehicle, hands down would have the Telluride as a front runner.

I preface with I have a '12 Cayenne S, '18 Macan, '15 4Runner. I test drove the Telluride for a day. I was intrigued after seeing the super bowl ad for the car. Upon dropping the car off I put a deposit on the package I wanted. The SUV drove very well, is very comfortable, has all the bells and whistles I need to get through the day and on a drive. I was hesitant about the "KIA" badge because the car is associated with budget/value autos. The build quality of the car really blew me away. The car is very quiet, shockingly quiet. The Porsche really made me realize how much other cars have road noise and the Telluride had an exceptional low amount of road noise. Likewise the comfort of the car is on par with a base model elite automobile re: Porsche. Although its not as utilitarian as a 4Runner, the wife really does enjoy the driveability of the car as compared to the 4Runner or Porsche. I put a deposit on the spot, upon delivery I will finish the deal and if at that point I don't want it and the car sells in 30 days I get the deposit back.

I keep staring at it but not in a good way. Not my style but how boring life would be if we all liked the same thing.
