This can't be right, right?

That 291hp is the only thing I don't like about it, KIA needs to offer some kind of high HP option which really only leaves the 3.3TT, it doesn't look like KIA is dealing with the V8 Tau anymore and I doubt Hyundai will be keeping it for much longer

I dont have an issue with HP or torque I want better driving dynamics and dual exhaust !

you mean selling that many Tellurides ?? I think they had a bunch of pre orders and they shipped a boat load to the Middle East as well

Perspective is always interesting. I remember my 1995 Chevy Suburban 1500. It had the 5.7 V8 and put out about 200 hp. This 291 with an 8 speed tranny sounds amazing....

Yes. I figured they only counted it once someone signed the papers to take delivery for it. And the chart is from Kia USA so those future ISIS Tellurides don't count.

I don't know about the Tellurides but in Korea its sister the Palisade is selling so well that Koreans have to wait on average 10 months to get their new Palisades.

Dealers would have bought some as demos and for staff I'm sure

Went and looked at them today... We are trading in my wife's 2018 Stinger GT2(I'm keeping mine!) for anSX with Prestige package as soon as they can get one for us. They are incredible vehicles outside, inside and on the road!

How was the drive ??

There have been dealerships advertising (and showing) the Telluride on YT towards the end of Feb.; but yeah, the early sales are mostly demos, etc.

I don't think they are mostly demos, at least not in my area. I've been watching the 5 or 6 Kia dealerships in my area and personally visited two of them and have seen them being inspected at an overflow lot for one of the dealerships and gone from Autotrader a few days later.

Of the 7 or 8 that were listed on Autotrader in mid-February none remain. They've been sold (presumably) and replaced. That's just the dealerships in my immediate area. I imagine the same is being replicated throughout the country, particularly the S.E. U.S.

They are just selling really quickly for Kia.

^ That's great to hear, but kinda weird that dealerships wouldn't be keeping a demo around.

My guess is demand has been high enough that they'd rather sell it all as the newer ones come in instead of holding on to one. I haven't even seen one in a showroom yet. They've all been sitting outside, ready to go.

Got a message from the young lady that sold me the 2018 Stinger, she bought one from her dealer. Said it was more impressive than she thought it would be, I’ll have to go check one out. They are selling them as soon as they get them in.

 

[westcoastGT]

I just spoke with my dealer and they will be arriving here in Canada be end of March , waiting on pricing detail still .

Took a look at an SX yesterday and WOW. For the price point there is nothing that can touch it. Excellent inside and out.
