How much does the 2022 Kia Telluride cost?

Prices have softened 14.19% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

Is the 2022 Kia Telluride a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Kia Telluride earns a 4.6/5 user rating and an 8.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its value, luxurious features, and spacious interior, and they also highlight its safety features and smooth ride. That lines up well with the Telluride’s role as a midsize three-row crossover SUV that aims to deliver broad appeal without feeling stripped down. The main trade-offs are some frustrating features and the lack of wireless Android Auto, plus a few build quality issues.

With 34.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Kia Telluride reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable, trouble-free, and easy to live with over the long term, especially for families who want a roomy SUV they can count on. The driving impression also supports that sense of durability, with the Telluride described as a satisfying long-distance driver that cruises effortlessly and handles daily use with composure. Kia’s complimentary one-year free trial of Kia Connect adds some ownership value, too.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about core dependability and more about finding a well-kept example that hasn’t accumulated avoidable wear or neglected maintenance.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Kia Telluride?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean title alone does not tell you how the SUV was maintained or repaired. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the cabin electronics, driver-assistance features, and interior condition, since the Telluride’s appeal depends heavily on its equipment and family-friendly usability. It’s also smart to confirm that the features you want are actually present, because some equipment changes by trim.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is arranged logically and looks good across the lineup, but the lower half of the cabin uses glossy plastic that can look cheap. The SX Prestige adds attractively stitched Nappa leather upholstery and a simulated suede headliner, while the base version misses some of the more upscale presentation.
• Powertrain: You get a 291-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and it is the only engine choice. Front-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is available, and the SUV offers a Lock mode with AWD.
• Safety package: Kia Drive Wise includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, and adaptive cruise control with curve speed reduction. Highway Driving Assist is standard, and Safe Exit Assist is included as well.
• Infotainment: Every Telluride gets a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation and voice recognition. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are no longer available, and the voice recognition system is not conversational. Kia Connect is standard, and a wireless smartphone charging pad is standard on all versions except the LX.
• Fuel efficiency: The Telluride essentially matched its official estimate at 21 mpg in combined driving during testing, and front-wheel-drive models are rated at 23 mpg.

Which 2022 Kia Telluride trim should I buy?

The 2022 Kia Telluride is offered in 4 trim levels: LX, S, EX, and SX.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, but it still gets the standard 10.25-inch touchscreen, navigation, Kia Connect, and the full suite of standard driver-assistance features. It makes sense if you want the Telluride experience at the lowest price and can live without the extra convenience and upscale touches found higher up.
• S: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a wireless smartphone charger while keeping the core Telluride strengths intact. If you want a smart balance of equipment and price, this is the trim to focus on first.
• EX: This trim is the step up if you want a more premium-feeling family SUV without jumping all the way to the top. It builds on the already strong standard equipment and suits buyers who want more comfort and polish.
• SX: This is the most upscale version in the lineup, and it is the one to choose if you want the richest feature set and the most premium presentation. It is the right pick if you care most about luxury-like amenities and are willing to pay for them.

Safety-package note: Highway Driving Assist, Smart Cruise Control-Curve, and Safe Exit Assist are part of the standard safety story for 2022.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Kia Telluride?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,083 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.19% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 81.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,009, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Kia Telluride's resale value?

The current average of $27,009 sits slightly below last year's $31,474.

That decline suggests the market has cooled from a stronger pricing position, which can be good news if you’re buying now but less favorable if you plan to sell soon. For a future seller, the key takeaway is that the Telluride’s value is still supported by strong demand, but pricing momentum has softened enough that you should not expect peak resale conditions. Well-kept examples with desirable equipment should still attract attention, especially because the model remains popular with family buyers.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Kia Telluride safe?

The 2022 Telluride earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, though it receives four-star ratings for frontal-impact protection for the driver and front passenger. The Telluride also earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Kia Drive Wise is the standard driver-assistance suite, and it includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, and adaptive cruise control with curve speed reduction. Highway Driving Assist is standard, and Safe Exit Assist helps warn occupants about approaching traffic or cyclists when opening a door.

The main caveat is that the Telluride missed the highest IIHS award because of less-than-stellar headlight ratings. That does not erase its strong safety package, but it is worth keeping in mind if you want the most complete safety performance possible.

Should I buy a 2022 Kia Telluride or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.19% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds more standard equipment, including a larger touchscreen and more standard driver-assistance tech.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $23,250, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $27,009 average.
• It offers a well-rounded, upscale-feeling package with modest changes and strong value.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $32,378, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $27,009 average.
• It adds minor styling changes, new technologies, and new X-Line and X-Pro trims.

The bottom line: The 2022 is the best all-around choice if you want the strongest mix of value, standard equipment, and broad appeal. If your priority is saving money, the 2021 is the better bargain; if you want newer styling and added trims, the 2023 is worth a look.
