Is the 2022 Kia Telluride a good car?

Owners consistently praise its value, luxurious features, and spacious interior, and they also highlight its safety features and smooth ride.

Kia also includes a complimentary one-year trial of Kia Connect, adding some ownership convenience early on.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a few build quality complaints and feature frustrations may show up more clearly as the vehicle ages.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 83% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on interior condition, electronics, and signs of uneven wear, especially if the vehicle has family-hauling mileage. It also makes sense to confirm that the features you want are actually present, since equipment varies by trim.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX, S, EX, and SX trims span the lineup, and the base version is less equipped than the higher trims. The 2022 update adds more standard equipment, but the cabin still shows some glossy lower plastics, and the SX Prestige adds more upscale materials.
• Powertrain: You get a 291-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and there is no hybrid alternative. AWD is available, and the SUV offers 21 mpg in combined driving with AWD testing and 23 mpg with FWD.
• 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 too.
• 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. Kia Connect is standard, and a wireless charging pad is standard on all versions except the LX.
• Fuel efficiency: The Telluride returned 21 mpg in combined driving in testing, and the EPA figure is 23 mpg with front-wheel drive.

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, so it makes sense if you want the Telluride’s core space, safety, and value without paying for extras. It gets the standard 10.25-inch touchscreen and Kia Drive Wise safety tech, but it misses the wireless charging pad that comes on higher versions.
• S: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds useful everyday equipment without pushing the price too far. It gains a standard wireless smartphone charger, which makes it a smart middle-ground choice.
• EX: Choose this if you want a more upscale feel and more comfort-oriented equipment while staying below the top trim. It builds on the Telluride’s strong interior and family-friendly setup.
• SX: This is the most premium version, and it suits you if you want the richest feature set and the most upscale presentation. The SX Prestige package adds even more luxury touches, but it also pushes the price higher.

Kia Drive Wise is standard across the lineup, so even the lower trims start with a strong safety foundation.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay patient.

• Deal availability: 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,096 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.08% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 83.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,238, 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 $27,238 sits slightly below last year's $31,700.

That price drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, that means resale value may depend more on condition, mileage, and trim than on broad market momentum alone. If you keep the vehicle clean, well maintained, and accident-free, you should be better positioned when it is time to sell.

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, with four-star ratings for frontal-impact protection for the driver and front passenger. The Telluride also earns an IIHS Top Safety Pick designation, though it misses Top Safety Pick+ because of weaker headlight ratings.

It earns an 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 is also standard, and Safe Exit Assist helps warn occupants before they open a door into traffic or cyclists. One caveat is that Highway Driving Assist does not bring the vehicle to a safe stop if the driver stops holding 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:

• 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 83% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.08% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 adds more standard equipment, including a larger touchscreen and more driver-assistance tech.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $23,385, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $27,238 average.
• It emphasizes value, style, and upscale feel with modest updates.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $32,625, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $27,238 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, safety, and standard equipment. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 is the better price-first alternative, while the 2023 makes sense if you want the newer updates and are willing to pay more.
