Used 2022 Kia Telluride for Sale nearIndianapolis, IN

How much does the 2022 Kia Telluride cost?

Prices have softened 14.13% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

With 4,115 listings available, you have a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy. If you find a listing below $27,292.22, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

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. The Telluride’s broad appeal comes through clearly in its strong family-friendly usefulness and upscale feel. The trade-offs are the lack of wireless Android Auto and a few build quality issues, which matter more if you care about convenience and cabin polish. For you, that means the Telluride makes the most sense if you want a three-row SUV that feels premium without chasing luxury-brand pricing. With 32.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s still meaningful shopping room in the market.

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 people feel good about living with over time, especially because it is described as a model owners are thrilled with and one they can count on for value and comfort. The expert evaluation also emphasizes that the Telluride is exceptionally cost-effective, which supports the case for dependable ownership. Kia’s complimentary one-year Kia Connect trial adds some ownership value up front, too. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the reported build-quality complaints and feature frustrations could affect day-to-day satisfaction more than mechanical confidence.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully, because accident-free status does not replace a full records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on cabin condition, electronics, and any signs of uneven wear or prior repair. Given the owner feedback, it also makes sense to pay close attention to build quality details and whether the tech features work the way you expect.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin is attractive across the lineup, but the lower half of the interior uses too much glossy plastic, and the base version misses some convenience equipment that appears on higher trims.
• Powertrain: You get a 291-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 with an eight-speed automatic, and there is no hybrid alternative.
• 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.
• Infotainment: Every Telluride gets a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation and voice recognition, but wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are no longer available.
• Fuel efficiency: The Telluride returns 21 mpg in combined driving, and front-wheel-drive versions 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, SX.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Telluride experience with the standard safety and tech package, but it is the least equipped choice.
• S: This is the best-value trim if you want a smarter mix of equipment and everyday convenience, including the added wireless smartphone charger.
• EX: This is the right step up if you want a more upscale feel and more comfort-focused equipment without jumping all the way to the top.
• SX: This is the most premium version, and it suits you if you want the richest feature set, including the available upscale touches and the strongest long-haul comfort.

Kia Drive Wise is standard, so even the lower trims get a broad safety package.

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

• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.13% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $27,292.22, 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 $27,288 sits slightly below last year's $31,780.

That drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may pressure resale returns if you sell soon. If you buy at the right price, you reduce the risk of taking a bigger hit later. Strong demand and broad appeal still support the Telluride’s long-term desirability, especially because shoppers continue to value its mix of space, features, and comfort. 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?

It earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, with four-star ratings for frontal-impact protection for the driver and front passenger. It earns a Top Safety Pick designation from IIHS, but not the higher Top Safety Pick+ award because of weaker headlight performance.

It earns a 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Kia Drive Wise is standard and 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 and Safe Exit Assist are also standard, and Smart Cruise Control-Curve is new for 2022. The main caveat is that the Telluride misses the top IIHS award because of its headlights, and Highway Driving Assist still requires you to keep your hands on the wheel.

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:

• 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.13% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds more standard equipment while keeping the Telluride’s strong value and broad appeal.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $23,479, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $27,288 average.
• It was already well sorted and adds only a few changes.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $32,746, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $27,288 average.
• It adds minor styling changes, new technologies, and X-Line and X-Pro trims.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, equipment, and market availability, the 2022 is the sweet spot. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 is the value play. If you want newer features and are willing to pay more, the 2023 is the upgrade path.
