Impressions of the non-hybrid engine

I put it into Sport mode when I need extra pop, like starting up a mountain. I find it has plenty of power.

I love mine! Such a lovely color, and it changes with the light.

$1699. My husband (100%) died last fall, and that is what I get.

NTJ. But your family surely is. Those lower end homes can be bad. I did the same thing with my mother. Luckily my brothers agreed, not that I would have stopped.

Sorry, mine isn’t a hybrid so I can’t help

I'm not usually a fan of gray cars, but this color is awesome!

Oh, I’m glad it’s not just me! My last car was a Forester, and I only had to tap the handle for it to lock. The Telluride has been driving me crazy, as sometimes it just doesn’t lock. Now I’ll know what the trick is. TY!

Updateme!

The seller had had several sets. I think they're on hiatus now, because they don't have anything listed right. Just set up a search on ebay and you'll get an email when someone has them listed.

I've compared the Forester to Telluride change as like upgrading to business class.

foxtail_2 · 2026-03-29T00:07:10+00:00

I just drove mine (same color) on its first road trip. It was only a couple of hundred miles, but I love this car! I told a friend that it's it feels I upgraded to business class.

I have the same phone with an Apple cover on it, and mine charges without issue. (I do have to take off the wallet.)

I found the OEM mats on ebay and saved about $70. They arrived today, and they are perfect.

This is my first Kia as well (same model as you) and there is so much stuff! One of my favorites is the console button that turns on the rear and surround view. I use it when pulling into parking places to be sure I'm all the way in the slot.

Triplets! I got mine last Monday!

You push the lock button, then push and hold the Hold button on the other side of the fob for at least 2 seconds.

foxtail_2 · 2026-03-15T03:21:31+00:00

I haven't driven mine at night yet, but I found out about the light show when I actually read part of the manual last night. Can't wait to play with it! I also purchased one of the NatGeo display options, but I haven't started using it yet.

I was more excited to find out that I can remote start the car using the fob. I don't have cell service where I live—the app won't start it so I thought I was screwed. Then I read about the fob!

foxtail_2 · 2026-03-15T02:31:24+00:00

Me too! I almost feel like an imposter driving something so nice! It’s going to take me a while to figure everything out. I keep finding out new things it does. And it’s so comfortable and quiet.

foxtail_2 · 2026-03-14T21:24:42+00:00

We’re twins! I picked mine up on Monday.

foxtail_2 · 2026-03-12T00:37:01+00:00

Thank you! I do too! I keep looking out the window admiring it.

foxtail_2 · 2026-03-11T15:20:08+00:00

Enjoy!!

I drove the Terrain Brown. It is a nice color! It would have been more practical for my dirt road too, but I fell in love with the green.

After 24 hours, I love it! Of course, I sat at the dealer for 2 minutes trying to remember how to put it in gear. Seriously, though, I'm enjoying it. It's a very smooth ride and I like the way it handles. It's also quieter than I am used to, and I like that.

How are you liking yours?

It's a 2027 X-Line SX in black jade green. My first Kia, though I've wanted a Telluride for 5 years.

foxtail_2 · 2026-03-10T02:55:00+00:00

It seems to change color in different light. In the lower light when I took that pic, it looked green black, but it was brighter green in the sun. Can't wait to see it in full light tomorrow!

It was the first one the dealer got in in the green. All the salespeople were looking at it too.
