Used 2022 Kia Telluride for Sale nearOmaha, NE

How much does the 2022 Kia Telluride cost?

Prices have softened 14.14% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,031 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and equipment.

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. In use-case terms, that makes it especially appealing if you want a family-friendly three-row SUV that feels more upscale than its price suggests. The main trade-offs are the lack of wireless Android Auto and a few build quality issues. With 35.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still gives you room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Kia Telluride reliable?

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

Owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable, with praise centered on value, luxurious features, spaciousness, safety, and a smooth ride. The expert evaluation also reinforces that impression by describing it as a strong value with broad appeal and a long warranty-backed ownership proposition. Kia’s complimentary one-year Kia Connect trial adds some ownership convenience, and the model’s overall package suggests you can count on it as a family hauler. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a few build quality issues and feature compromises may matter more as the vehicle ages.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free listings are common but not guaranteed. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the cabin, electronics, and exterior trim so you can spot wear, prior repairs, or quality issues before you buy. Focus on whether the equipment level matches your needs, especially if you want the newer standard tech and safety features.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Telluride continues in LX, S, EX, and SX trim. Every version gets a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, but the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that came with the older 8-inch display are no longer available. The interior looks good overall, though the lower cabin plastics can appear too glossy, especially in higher trims.
• Powertrain: You get a 291-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It is the only engine choice, and the SUV is tuned more for smooth, confident everyday driving than for efficiency-first shoppers.
• 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 Smart Cruise Control-Curve is also standard for 2022. The Blind-Spot View Monitor appears on the SX test vehicle, so it is not standard across the lineup.
• Infotainment: The standard screen is 10.25 inches and includes navigation with voice recognition technology. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not available with this setup, and the voice recognition system is not conversational. Kia Connect is standard and includes remote features, emergency assistance, and smartphone alerts.
• Fuel efficiency: The Telluride matched an official estimate of 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, SX.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, but it still gets the new standard 10.25-inch touchscreen, navigation, and the core Kia Drive Wise safety suite. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Telluride without giving up the model’s main strengths.
• S: This trim adds a standard wireless smartphone charger, which makes it a smart step up if you want a little more convenience for daily use. It is likely the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds useful equipment without pushing you too far up the price ladder.
• EX: This is the middle-ground choice if you want a more upscale feel and more equipment than the lower trims. It should suit you if you care about comfort and features more than chasing the highest badge.
• SX: This is the top trim and the one that brings the most premium presentation, including the richer interior treatment seen on the test vehicle. It suits you best if you want the most fully equipped Telluride and are willing to pay for it.

Kia Drive Wise is standard, and the available Blind-Spot View Monitor is a helpful extra on higher-spec versions.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 35.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,031 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.14% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 82.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,163, 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 $27,163 sits slightly below last year's $31,637.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may temper near-term resale expectations if you plan to sell soon. For a future seller, the key takeaway is that pricing momentum has softened, so condition and equipment will matter more when it comes time to list the vehicle. Strong demand and broad appeal can still support value, but you should expect buyers to be price-sensitive. 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 Kia Telluride earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, with four-star ratings for frontal-impact protection for the driver and front passenger.

It 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 also 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 out on the higher IIHS award because of less-than-stellar headlight ratings.

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:

• 35.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.14% 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 $23,322, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $27,163 average.
• It adds modest polish with a Nightfall Edition option package and more LED headlights.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $32,520, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $27,163 average.
• It brings minor styling changes, new technologies, and new X-Line and X-Pro trims.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of value, standard equipment, and broad appeal, the 2022 is the strongest all-around choice. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 can save you money while keeping the core Telluride formula intact. If you want newer styling and added trim variety, the 2023 is worth a look, but you will pay more for it.
