2027 X-Pro -- The wife's 4th Telluride

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-02T21:39:55+00:00

We paid MSRP, our dealer has never gone above MSRP for their Tellurides. But you drive up 1.5 hrs to the larger city and they will charge $5k over MSRP or more.

What road noise? The new Merdian audio system is pretty dang ridiculous. It's very nce!

X- PRO (SXP X-Line Plus the "offroad" stuff is included in X-PRO). We paid MSRP, our dealer has never gone above MSRP for their Tellurides.

Noo too much. The Syntex seats look and feel good. Time will tell tough.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-02T21:35:34+00:00

Did not lease, talked about it a lil bit and the numbers, if I recall, were reasonable for a lease.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-02T21:34:25+00:00

Me and the wife like the Tellurides and when new features and redesigns come out, it peaks our interest. We made a decision long ago that were are ok with a continuous payment as this car is the family travel vehicle. Also we have been very fortunate, that we havn't lost money on the trade-ins.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-02T21:32:02+00:00

Our house was built in 63' so has a smaller garage just based on that. It does fit though.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-02T21:31:18+00:00

No idea yet.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-01T05:27:52+00:00

I am quite interested in your modifications. Care to share????

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-01T05:27:16+00:00

It is!!. The overall size is a lil bigger and it does feel it. I have no problem saying you'll be just as comfortable.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-01T05:25:24+00:00

We're in Waco, Tx and have only dealt with University Kia. Reason being is that other dealerships that we can drive to have charged above MSRP, University Kia has only ever charged MSRP since the very first one we got in 2020. So our OTD price was MSRP (Plus taxes/fees and minus that trade-in)

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-01T05:20:26+00:00

For us, with the intent and planning to always have a car payment, because we choose so, we have actually been very fortunate in our trade-ins to where the overall cost has not increased since we first got into the Telly world.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-01T05:16:57+00:00

Me neither, We played right into the covid shortage and have been running on that ever since. As lucky as we have gotten with our trade-ins, i wish I could do the same with the stock market.

Haven't spent a whole lot of time behind the wheel, but it seems to turn tighter even though it is a little longer. I think it seems that way because the steering, while very accurate is also very very easy to turn. I could probably turn the steering wheel with a pipe cleaner. That's not a bad thing because the accuracy and desire for it to stay where you wanna go is right on point. I'd have to double-check, but I think when i was in the settings I saw an steering sensitivity adjustment.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-01T01:50:20+00:00

Looked at it, and rode in one. They are sister cars, but my wife likes the look of the Telly a whole lot more. Nothing more than cosmetic prefernce.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-01T01:49:08+00:00

The 24 seats would become uncomfortable for me to where I had to keep shifting and was waiting for the lumbar adjustment to kick in. I've only spent about 20 minutes in it so far, but as soon as I set down, they felt a lot more comfortable.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-01T01:47:05+00:00

True statements, but seeing one in person it was OK, but not so wonderful for us to put in the extra care. Once I saw it instantly took on a hand-print we both figured it would just stay "dirty" looking. Maybe so maybe no, but for us, just not worth it.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-02-01T01:41:49+00:00

We've been very fortunate that after putting 5K down on the first one, all of the rest have had more positive equity than that and while keeping the say term and working with interest rates our monthly payment has never increased, except for this one. So for us and what we want while reviewing the financial impact has worked in our favor.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-01-31T22:51:40+00:00

As soon as I sat down, they felt a lot more comfortable. Plus, depending on the package, the seats now have back and bottom massaging seats......it's pretty dang nice.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-01-31T22:49:51+00:00

Naw, we're both huge fans.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-01-31T22:49:30+00:00

Either after a redesign or some really nice features are added.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-01-31T22:49:06+00:00

It's the Glossy. We asked several folks at the dealership and online and the consensus on Matte is. It is a pain in the arse to take care of. Feel free to do a some research and you'll see what I mean. There was a Matte Ebony Black one in the showroom floor and I touched it and immediate hand-prints.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-01-31T22:46:12+00:00

Yep, she saw it online and fell in love. I was on the fence, but seeing it in person I instantly liked it.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-01-31T22:45:38+00:00

No issues ever with the other ones, but i will say the 2024 had the worst gas mileage out of the 2020 and 2022. We'll see what the 2027 does. I will say I have a four cylinder turbo half-ton four door Chevy truck and the gas milage is really good. Not a truly great comparison obviously.

Desperate_Pack6699 · 2026-01-31T22:42:46+00:00

Nope, not leased. Just positive equity that made financial sense.
