I mean it looks like a high end Expedition or Range Rover.

Then get her the palisade. It’s the exact same vehicle

You can't slap the name "Telluride" on a cheap piece of shite and get away with it.

I've heard nothing but wonderful things about Kia vehicles from actual owners over the past 5 years or so. That Telluride and one of their sedans look damn good.
Like others here, I'm not sure I'm over the stigma the brand had early on.

Whoever designed that thing deserves a raise because everyone is talking about it.
Not sure why other brands don't take a cue from Kia, Hyundai (Genesis), and even Mazda.
Make your car look like it's a luxury car - even if it isn't - and things will get better for your sales.

I just bought one on Saturday. It two weeks to get in cause they are selling fast. In my city we only have 3 car dealerships and the next closest are 300 miles away. Lots of people drive Kia’s for that reason and they have always been reliable.
If there were plenty of dealerships I think I might still have bought the telluride. I picked it over some other popular stuff.

So Kia decided to rip off Range Rover?

I'm fine with that as long as it's not a shitty brand anymore.

What does this even mean?
As a 40yo male, Kia was introduced to me as the low cost/high volume provider of cars that will last about 3 years and then fall apart.
You will have a hard time convincing me that a brand which once advertised a "Buy one Optima, get a Sephia free" event is capable of producing quality automobiles

At least it looks like an SUV instead of another bland crossover that have the exact same designs.
Look at what Chevrolet did to the poor Blazer :(

THIS is what keeps screaming at me inside my brain when I consider buying the Telluride and putting my wife and children in it. I'm just uneasy but I really like that vehicle.

If I bought one, I would put the Korean version of the logo badge on it just to frick with people. You can probably get it done for $50.
Posted on 6/3/19 at 4:16 pm to tigerpimpbot
It's like Mazda and Acura had a baby logo.

They got their start by filling a niche. Over the years they've improved and now they are changing their image same as Hyundai.
Not too different than Honda and Toyota.

Kia has come a long way with reliability. Here is consumer reports top ten by brand in descending order, Kia is 5th. Note Honda is no longer in the top ten, they have had several years of significant issues with quality.
Lexus
Toyota
Mazda
Subaru
Kia
Infiniti
Audi
BMW
Mini
Hyundai
This is there worst 10 with Volvo at the worst, note there are some brands like Land Rover and Jag with too few data points.
Volvo
Cadillac
Tesla
Ram
GMC
Chrysler
Chevrolet
Jeep
Dodge
Lincoln
The only issue with the Telluride is it is new so there is basically no reliability info on it.
In the end, ALL cars are much better than 10 years ago and tons better than 20 years ago so it isn't like even a Volvo falls apart on the way home from the dealership and for most it isn't a big issue in the first 75-100K. Toyota and Lexus start to make better sense when you go 200-300k. One issue that hasn't been discussed is resale if you don't drive a car until the wheels fall off that should be part of the financial decision, that said few people buy a car with their head instead of their heart.
