2022 Kia Telluride Review - With 3rd Row Test 

After doing my research i got a fully loaded nightfall telluride and it’s the best bang for your buck. And i have had it for 3 months now and we love it.

I’ve never really understood brand loyalty between an individual person and a public corporation. I just buy whatever suits me best at the time. Kia is working hard to win customers while brands with bands of loyalists are resting on their laurels. Happy to have given my business to Kia this time around.

The wife and I pulled the trigger on a Telluride (tell-yer-ride from a native Coloradoan) back in January. I'm not an SUV guy, been driving trucks most of my life, in fact this is replacing our 2008 Avalanche. But I will say this is a great vehicle. We've already done one longish trip and its just great eating up the miles. The creature comforts are quickly becoming must haves for us if we ever replace it. The blind-spot has come in very handy, and being able to drop the second row from the back is a well thought out convenience. Thanks for the review, guys. It was a fun watch.

Great to see you guys growing… great video once again

Recently found your channel guys. In terms of quality you very close to the straight pipes. Definitely deserve more subs. Love the name hood slappers 😂

So you finally found the grown mens to fit in the third row haha! Perfect camera angles. You guys turn the review into podcast with valuable practical information. Thanks for the efforts in such a cold weather and thanks to that 69$ jacket for keeping you warm.

First time visiting your channel. I enjoyed your review. 😁 Looking forward to more...

I never comment and I am not into cars really but yall were just too good that I had to say hello. Just got our 2022 Telluride yesterday and so excited to start playing with it! Thank you for the fun and thoughtful review!

I purchased a KIA Telluride in Oct 2020 and loved it for so many reasons. In June of 2022 I was hit from behind while setting at red light when a gravel truck slammed into me from behind going 70 mph. God and the safety features saved my life. I just bought me the new 2022 Telluride to replace my other one.

I love the give and go back and forth between the two of you.

I really like review. I’ve watched many other car reviews and they talked too aggressive and too boring to watch. You guys are great. Subscribed. Keep up the awesome work gentlemen! I might pick up this one after watching your video :)

This is the best review of kia telluride i've ever seen. i was looking for a video that could should the space on the 3rd row to determine if it was feasible for 2 adults, you guys did it amazing, algo the camera angle was great, thank you guys (Y) great job.

I like the winter scene background and the humor and small talk throught the review. Good review. Subscribe. Not sure why you're measuring in litres though rather than square foot. Keep up the good work. I'm also considering the KIA Carnival. Currently I have a 16 Subaru Outback. Considering what my next vehicle will be in the upcoming 2 to 5 years. I test drove a KIA Sedona van and liked it,...seems very intuitive with the controls ..but don't really consider myself a van guy. . Before outback I had a 2001 Honda Odyssey with 230,000 miles.

you guys got a new subscriber, keep up the good work

This was fantastic 🤣 I'd love to see you guys review the Kia Carnival next, especially in the snow! I can't seem to find a lot of info on how safe it drives/feels in the snow with it's FWD.

Awesome review, good job guys👍👍👍

Appreciate your comparison opinions. And those blue spectacles are quite stylish. They really need a fireplace video on the display.

The turn signal cameras are so cool. That would be handy on the manly antiquing trip.

This was a great review I’m subbed

I Love you guys, you are awesome. I have the 2022 Kia Telluride SX, and I am loving it over here in Tallahassee, FL.

Your channel is blossoming. As a U.S. viewer, it would have been helpful to provide mpg and cubic feet statistics. Best wishes and keep growing!

I love my 2022 Telluride! Great review!

I’m so glad you tested the 3rd row. Thank you

Great review guys, I like the coat! Just bought a 2022 glacial white SX with dune interior and love it. The new KIA logo is great, and the blinker camera and hud are nice touches. Drove 3 hours and gave $5,000 over sticker, that’s the world we live in today.

You dudes are awesome

Great review! Please do one for the carnival!

I have a 2022 telluride lx it drives itself I wish you guys would have done it in this video you would have been blown away

Awesome review guys, thanks!!!

Last month I got my 2022 Telluride SX Prestige in Wolf Gray Night fall edition with Dune Brown seats and towing package. I wanted the upgrades so I traded my 2020 Telluride EX/AWD premium package. Both levels are great. I like watching your updates and demonstrations of this SUV.

Love the way you guys show vehicles. Keep up the great work and keep the presentation relaxed.

I just got a 2022 carnival with the captain seats on second rows in February and i loved !

Great review love the comedy

Something to think about when comparing the Passport to the Telluride, at one time (‘70’sand ‘80’s) Honda was considered to make cheep junk cars. Since then, they have made a name for themselves and have made reliable vehicles.

Finally a review with someone of my size

Bubbles from Trailer Park boys? Doing Car reviews ? Hell yea brother!!

Just purchased one of these. Traded a 2019 Chevy Traverse LT which I really loved. Driving the Traverse was wonderful. It goes where its pointed, plenty of feedback from the tires to the steering wheel. The 3.6 V6 was FAST! After owning it for about 3 months, I discovered the Traverse group on Facebook. Uh oh....lots of problems with timing chains.... A few weeks ago we noticed a sort of ticking noise, particularly during moderate acceleration. Talked to friend who owns auto repair facility and as soon as I said "Traverse", he said "get rid of it NOW!" Sell it, trade it, whatever, but get rid of it! So, new Telluride. As much as I like this car, it honestly doesn't "do it" for me the way the Traverse did, but the Telluride warranty, the great reviews from Consumer's Union, etc. convinced me that it is the right choice.

I was literally thinking I liked that coat before you said where it was from!! 😂

appreciate the snow flurries..but what MODEL/trim are you reviewing? a premium trim??

When you are below Chevy on reliability there's no place to go but up lol. They have come a long way just like Mazda, to bad we can't say the same for domestic brands.

Great review, thank you! Please review the Hyundai Palisade, I think both are great vehicles and I’m not too sure which way to go. Thanks again!!

Great review. Just needs to get a little tighter but I enjoy the real life banter.

I love the name Hood Slappers. The name has so many applications.

That hat and sweater is making it happen with the Telluride. 😂

I have the Kia Selto's have you guys test drove it? Just love my little suv!

Great video! Here’s my confusion: how did this specific vehicle have BOTH the 2nd row bench seat AND double moonroof?? This is what I want! I’ve been scouring the interwebs and talking to dealers-they say you only get bench seats below the SX trim, and only get double moonroofs on the SX trim. What gives? Is this a Canadian exception?

Great job

I cut down my Tel into a pickup and it’s AWSOME ! I call it a Tellup Truck, but it’s hard to heat and cool 😎 I did keep the automatic rear door .because my wife likes it. So ask your wife if she wants one too !

i am loyal to KIA now have the telluride and wow it is so awesome so impressed with the quality

Love the reviews, but when does Brad get to drive? Maybe not enough insurance coverage for that? 😂

Great to see you filming in the snow, personal opinions but I think your video would be a lot better without the music

Good down to earth Canadian review 👍

2nd best SUV I’ve ever owned. 1st was our Tahoe. If the Telluride came in a full size 4x4 V8….❤️

I traded my 2020 kia telluride to get a 2022 love that one but that 2023 is looking great.

Jared if you can't find what you need at Value Village you can also try looking at Talize. Nice car review.

Amazing reviews guys!…KIA/Hyundai are giving their competitors to much attention…some of their cars are even superior in some aspects and ahead like technology,comfort,style and value for money…

Well explained now I like Kia telluride

Please do a review on 2022 Acura MDX Thanks.

Need a review on the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy! This vehicle is amazing in its top trim.

What takes the shine off is the price over MSRP that dealers are asking for the Telluride. It doesn’t diminish what KIa offers but it isn’t the deal it was.

Best jacket is a tough duck.

I feel like the domestic brands really need to step up their game interior wise all the imports are way ahead of the game when it comes to that, the only one that I can think of that can compete with the import stuff now is the new ram trucks they have a beautiful interior

im new to yalls videos, what brand are you loyal to where you would never buy a kia? just curious

I've been driving Kia and Hyundai since 1997...they have never been anything than what I paid for and expected....if you thought you were paying 30% less than a Honda and getting Honda quality...that's on you. Now here in 2022 I have the newest Tucson...well ...it cost almost as much as a Honda...and I think it looks better, drives better and has more value than a Honda....I will let you know in 10 years if it lasts as long...pretty confident as the last three Hyundai/Kia cars both went 10 years and 150k with no defects.

I almost fell asleep. Pretty relaxing. We have a telluride but people won’t fall asleep, it’s pretty zippy and fun to drive.

I’m curious how the ride quality is on this Telluride after 3 years, will the door panels rattle like spray cans? Will control knobs fall off? What electronic features will stop working interior wise? These are my concerns on this underdog vehicle. Looking forward to a true quality control follow up.

have they finally fixed the issue that had engines catching fire while parked?

Definitely am sold on the Kia Telluride!!! I’ll be trading in my Nissan Murano(she’s been a great car), but I have twins with more babies in the near future so I need something bigger🧡🧡💗

I'm subscribing to your channel cuz I just love listening to you guys talked whether I agree with you guys or not. However you're wrong the logo is not actually symmetrical if it was symmetrical that would mean if you folded it on its middle you would end up with 1/2 that was completely identical it really is impossible to do with the Kia logo

Great. I want this vehicle but how tall are you guys?. I'm 6'2 260. I feel like you guys might be on the short side.

How about turn your lights on when driving in murky weather.

One thing I've noticed in my 2022 Telluride is the size of the gas tank. It's so small! I'm constantly refueling.

We got one for my daughter and the motor blowed so they replaced it last month no charge. I like Kia I want a telluride if I could just get the package I want. Black carpet tan leather seats and the black copper. You might as well look for hens teeth.

I so want this vehicle but I wish they had more variety of colors. At least a blue or true red. Also I would need to see if my son's wheelchair would fit with the 3rd row.

you're definitely fit very well back there and if you were in the palisade you would be able to recline I'm not certain about the telluride or as you guys put it tellooride

Very good review, i just subscribed . I wish I could afford it this beautiful masculine machine . Maybe I’ll win mega million lottery

lol my grandpa always associate KIA with the military version of KIA but replaced the action with accident and for that reason always said they where horrible vehicles 😅 .

I've had hondas all my life, and the lanewatch camera is one of the most useful and innovative things honda did. Only when you use it on a daily basis that you'd appreciate it. The other reviewers who only get the car/suv for testing for a short periods of time and saying that the camera is not useful or in their way don't know how to use it properly. They might have impacted honda's decision to phase out the camera, which I think is really bad for us consumers. I hope honda would bring the camera feature back in the near future.

I have a couple of reasons I don't like the Kia telluride. 1. There has been evidence that supports claims that they catch fire for the wiring harness connected to the tow hitch. Unless you want the possibility of your Kia telluride to go up in flames . 2. A lot of Kia telluride owners complain about the headlights not bringing bright enough especially the factory LEDs. That's why my 2016 Nissan Sentra had the halogens replaced with aftermarket LED. Disclaimer.. make sure you check before doing this so it's not void your warranty. 3. Yeah it has one of the best warranties out there. However pay attention to the word limited. What that means is that just because it's a bumper to bumper or powertrain warranty doesn't mean it covers everything only limited items. Unlike my Nissan brand which is unlimited. 4. Lack of Anti-Theft technology. You can have the fanciest, flashiest, and high technology car you want. However it means nothing if it gets stolen. My 2016 Nissan Sentra came standard with intelligent key, immobilization system, locking steering wheel, and push button start. With the Kia telluride you only get push button on the higher trims. 5. Kia is the child of Hyundai. Kia and Hyundai engines are known to have transmission problems within the first 50,000 miles.

Okay, what is "litres per 100 km" in real (American) talk? As in mpg?

I test drove a Telluride and Palisade. I prefer the Palisade. They are very similar, but I find the interior and exterior styling of the Palisade to be more attractive. The one touch folding third row is another significant difference. The cabin experience felt much more premium. I can’t speak to the lower level trim comparisons. This was for a Limited (Palisade) and SX (Telluride) trim levels.

I probably won’t ever be able to afford a Kia Telluride, but one thing I know for sure, is that after driving our 2018 Kia Sorento for almost 4 years I will never purchase anything BUT a Kia. As a former Michigander I come from a General Motors ONLY Family. My Dad was a GM employee for 35 years so we never drove anything but Oldsmobiles built in Lansing, Michigan. Starting in the mid-2000s GM started pricing me out of the market. So long story short, Kia has proven itself as the premier car maker even above Honda, Toyota, and Nissan.

Love my 2021 wolf grey Telly sx awd just saying!!!

Is this the SX trim? I don't think I can get the SX trim with a 2nd row bench seat in the US. Which is a bummer.

Are you guys from Ontario, CA as well?

Question to anyone: I thought the 2nd row came with captain's chairs, not bench seating? Thanks 👍

Anyone have opinion on the captain's chair second row versus the bench seat second row

Love my telluride, maybe a 4 by 4 would be good.

I like the hat! I thought it added to the scene it was really cool cuz it's snowing out you know it's really neat and I bet it's warm. So thank you. Jesus loves you!

If you look closely, Brad is using the ancient communication form of semaphore to articulate how fucking cold he is. I’ve never seen one man move his hands/arms so much.

I have the 2020 SX PRESTIGE and love it but people need to know this before they buy one... I hope you take the time to read this about a huge SAFETY ISSUE that KIA has ignored all owners who have emailed them . NO RECOVERY POINTS OR HOOKS The Middle East and Canada have them just not here in the US .. This not an off-road feature. This is a safety when towing in an emergency option that prevents further vehicle damage to get you out of a bad situation and is available on most modern passenger cars with large amounts of plastic on the front fascia. Consider that someone who bought their Telluride to be a "mall crawler" happens to be driving in a rural area on vacation and gets caught in a snow drift on a highway then gets pushed into a snow bank to avoid a collision causing their wheels to be embedded in snow. Perhaps an area that is prone to road flooding in a heavy rain storm and finds themselves sliding and stuck in mud. Maybe they are just driving in wet conditions on a road without a sewer system and instead has culverts and ditches then someone driving in the other direction swerves from texting and to avoid an accident the Telluride driver veers and gets stuck in some mud. They can't get ahold of a tow truck and a friendly passerby in a pickup stops with a tow rope or winch to help. That friendly person can't find a tow hook and there are no recovery points with eyelets to attach to so they connect to the front suspension or some other metal structure that is not connected with the frame and unknowingly causes damage. The Telluride owner goes driving along their way only to have a catastrophic accident because the vehicle becomes unstable and unbalanced at a higher speed. I'm not going to blame that consumer for not crawling under the Telluride before they took delivery to look for a common metal loop found on most other vehicles and suggest they should have bought a truck 4X4. The 2022 Toyota Highlander , the Honda Ridgeline and Passport do too. This Road & Track author wrote very highly of his loaner Telluride but spent a good amount of time warning about the lack of a tow hook or recovery point. The 2020 Kia Telluride Is a Nearly Flawless Three-Row SUV "When I got the Telluride buried up to its rockers in mud, I had to crawl on my belly and dig out a path for the tow strap to loop around the lower control arm once help arrived. I was covered in wet silt for the next hour as the sun went down. I’m still digging the dried clay out of the pockets of my jacket nearly two months later. Really. A single removable panel on the Telluride's front or rear bumper, and a threaded hole to attach a tow eyelet, would have done the trick. When I called KIA I was told to just call a " KIA RECOMMENDED TOW COMPANY " Now all this being say It is a GREAT Vehicle and I truly enjoy driving it but people really need to know about this before they buy one . That's great if you are able too but not always the case . Maybe you could comment or do a review about this to help get the attention of KIA Motors

Around dealers here are marking them up, that’s a definite no for me until that stops

I am 6'5 345 lbs and my son is 6'5 400+ lbs. We are looking for a good family SUV where my son will be comfortable in the 2nd row and I will be comfortable in the drivers or passengers seat. The dimensions sound good but how does it seem for bigger guys?

The first two minutes...basically Toyota's story starting in the 70s.

Cost is misleading and no one mentions this. $46k might be the cost 2 years back, as most dealers compare Telluride to Land Rover and markup cost between $6k-$10k with the highest trim close to $65k+ competing with X5/Q5/MDX/Aviator. Waiting period is an insane 8 months and no test drive vehicles. This is crazy for a Kia.

How do you compare the telluride to the hyundai palisades?

Some other RU-vid car experts say the kia engines are horrible (lots of fires, early wear, oil burning, etc...) That said, I am interested in the new Telluride or Sorrento but NOT if the engines used in the 2022's are the same as those before. Can you say if they are or are they new designs (no history) as well?

My dream truck even though my first love 💕 is Toyota all day……❄️🎵

Fits two overgrown men in the 3rd row. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Love my 2021 AWD S .

Maybe its a descent car but I test drove both the Telluride and the Carnival it just felt plastic compared to my Mercedes Benz and other cars i've owned like Suburu Forester and they are not cheap either
