Used 2022 Kia Telluride for Sale near Oklahoma

How much does the 2022 Kia Telluride cost?

Prices have softened 14.70% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,988 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing prices and trims.

Is the 2022 Kia Telluride a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Kia Telluride earns a 4.6/5 user rating and an 8.8/10 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 strong value without feeling basic.

The main trade-offs are some frustrating features and the lack of wireless Android Auto, along with a few build quality issues noted by owners. Even so, the Telluride’s appeal is strongest if you want a family-friendly three-row SUV with a premium feel and broad everyday usefulness.

Good and great deals account for 37.3% of listings, which gives you a decent chance of finding a competitive price.

Is the 2022 Kia Telluride reliable?

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

Owners describe the Telluride as dependable, trouble-free, and a vehicle they feel good about keeping for the long term. The expert review also emphasizes that Kia’s value proposition is reinforced by one of the best warranty programs you can buy, which helps support confidence in ownership.

The Telluride’s strong reputation and broad standard equipment should help reduce ownership anxiety, but used buyers should still watch for the build-quality complaints and verify that the vehicle has been maintained properly.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 79.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a full records review. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the cabin, electronics, and exterior condition, especially if you want to avoid examples with the build-quality concerns some owners mention. It also makes sense to confirm that the features you want are present, since equipment varies by trim.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX, S, EX, and SX trims each bring a different mix of equipment, and the base version misses some of the nicer convenience and tech upgrades found higher up the range.
• Powertrain: The Telluride uses a 291-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 with an eight-speed automatic transmission, 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 Kia Connect is standard; wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are no longer available, and the LX does not get the standard wireless charging pad.
• Fuel efficiency: The Telluride returned 21.1 mpg 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, SX.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, but it still gets the Telluride’s core value and safety strengths. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the model and can live without some of the convenience upgrades found higher up.
• S: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a wireless smartphone charger while keeping the Telluride’s strong standard equipment and broad appeal.
• EX: This trim is the better choice if you want a more upscale feel and more comfort-oriented equipment without jumping all the way to the top model.
• SX: This is the most feature-rich version, and it suits you if you want the most premium experience and are willing to pay for it.

Kia Drive Wise safety equipment is standard across the lineup, which helps every trim feel well equipped.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 37.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,988 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.70% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 79.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,750, 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 $25,750 sits slightly below last year's $30,188.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim desirability rather than on broad market momentum alone.

Because the Telluride remains popular and well regarded, a clean, well-kept example should still attract interest when it’s time to sell. Strong demand for a desirable three-row SUV can help cushion depreciation, especially if the vehicle has a good history and the right equipment.

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, but individual performances for frontal-impact protection for the driver and the front passenger rate four stars. The Telluride also earns the IIHS Top Safety Pick designation, though it misses Top Safety Pick+ because of less-than-stellar 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 about approaching vehicles or cyclists when opening the doors.

The main caveat is that Highway Driving Assist does not bring the vehicle to a safe stop if the driver stops holding the wheel, and the Smart Cruise Control-Curve feature can be irritating enough that the review team shut it off. The headlight-related IIHS shortcoming is the other notable safety drawback.

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:

• 37.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 79.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.70% 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 standard safety tech.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $22,436, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $25,750 average.
• It offers a stylish, premium-feeling three-row SUV with strong value.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $31,130, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $25,750 average.
• It adds minor styling changes, new technologies, and new X-Line and X-Pro trims.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, equipment, and broad market availability, the 2022 is the smart default. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 is the value play; if you want newer updates and can spend more, the 2023 is the upgrade path.
