Used 2023 Kia Telluride for Sale nearOgden, UT

How much does the 2023 Kia Telluride cost?

Prices have softened 9.81% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,753 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Kia Telluride a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Kia Telluride earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 9.00/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, Form and function, Cost effectiveness, Technology, and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its comfort, technology, and upscale feel, and they also like the smooth ride and extensive feature content. In practical terms, that makes it a strong fit if you want a three-row SUV that feels more premium than its price suggests.

The main trade-offs are some interior materials that feel cheap and a manual 3rd-row seating setup that could be better. Even so, the Telluride’s family-size packaging and polished overall character make it easy to recommend if you want a stylish, well-equipped SUV for daily use and road trips.

With 35.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s still room to find a competitive offer.

Is the 2023 Kia Telluride reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable, trouble-free, and easy to live with over time. The review summary also emphasizes comfort and a strong sense of quality, which usually matters when you’re planning to keep a used SUV for years rather than months.

The expert drive notes reinforce that impression by describing the Telluride as a strong all-around performer with a smooth ride and a well-sorted driving experience. Kia’s long warranty coverage also helps reduce ownership anxiety if you’re buying used and want extra peace of mind.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about core reliability and more about finding one that has been maintained well and not worn hard by family use.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Kia Telluride?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace documentation. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a three-row SUV like this, where interior wear, seat operation, and electronic features can matter as much as mechanical condition.

Focus on how the cabin has held up, whether the technology works properly, and whether the vehicle shows signs of heavy family-duty use. If you’re shopping a higher-trim example, make sure the added equipment is functioning as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Prestige, with X-Line and X-Pro versions adding more rugged styling and capability. Base trims get the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen and a long list of safety features, while higher trims add more advanced driver assistance and convenience equipment.
• Powertrain: A 3.8-liter V6 with 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque works with an eight-speed automatic transmission. AWD is available, and the system includes a low-speed Lock setting.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes forward-collision warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection, junction turning assist, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, Highway Drive Assist 1.5, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, automatic high beams, driver attention warning, and Rear Occupant Alert. Highway Drive Assist 2.0 starts with SX trim.
• Infotainment: Every model gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM, navigation, Kia Connect services, a Wi-Fi hotspot, over-the-air updates, and Bluetooth pairing for two devices. Wireless smartphone charging is available, and the system also supports a Full Display Mirror and digital key on some versions.
• Fuel efficiency: The AWD model is rated at 21 mpg in combined driving. In testing, the X-Line returned 24.1 mpg, while the X-Pro returned 20.4 mpg.

Which 2023 Kia Telluride trim should I buy?

The 2023 Kia Telluride is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Prestige.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, but it still gives you the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen and the full core safety suite. It makes sense if you want the Telluride experience without paying for extra luxury or off-road styling.
• S: This trim is the better value if you want a step up in equipment without jumping too far in price. It keeps the Telluride’s strong standard tech and safety foundation while moving you closer to the more desirable midrange setup.
• EX: This is the trim to target if you want a more upscale feel and the option to add X-Line styling. It’s a smart middle ground for shoppers who want more content without going all the way to the top.
• SX: This is where the more advanced driver-assistance content starts, including Highway Drive Assist 2.0 and additional collision-avoidance features. If safety tech matters most, this is the trim to watch.
• SX Prestige: This is the best choice if you want the most premium version of the Telluride experience. It pairs the richest feature set with the strongest luxury feel, and it’s the trim that best matches the model’s upscale personality.

Safety-package note: Highway Drive Assist 2.0 starts with SX trim, and the extra collision-avoidance features also begin there.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Kia Telluride?

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

• Deal availability: 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,753 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.81% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 87.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $32,625, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Kia Telluride's resale value?

The current average of $32,625 sits slightly below last year's $36,174.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled from a year ago, which can be good news if you’re buying now but less favorable if you’re planning to sell soon. A softer market usually means future resale gains may be more limited unless your vehicle is especially clean, well equipped, and lightly used.

Even so, the Telluride’s strong reputation and broad appeal should help it remain desirable in the used market. If you keep mileage reasonable and maintenance records organized, you’ll be in a better position when it’s time to trade or sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Kia Telluride safe?

The 2023 Kia Telluride earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Kia equips every Telluride with a broad standard safety package that includes forward-collision warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection, junction turning assist, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, Highway Drive Assist 1.5, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, automatic high beams, driver attention warning, and Rear Occupant Alert.

Higher trims add more capability, including Highway Drive Assist 2.0 starting with SX trim, plus additional collision-avoidance features, front parking sensors, a surround-view camera with a forward view, and Blind-Spot View Monitor. The main caveat is that crash-test ratings were unavailable in the review material.

Should I buy a 2023 Kia Telluride or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.81% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• This year adds minor styling changes, new technologies, and X-Line and X-Pro trim levels.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $27,238, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $32,625 average.
• It offers strong value with broad appeal and more standard equipment.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $36,390, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $32,625 average.
• It adds minor detail updates and keeps the Telluride’s polished, family-friendly appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the newest version with updated styling and tech, the 2023 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 is the smarter value play, while the 2024 makes sense if you want the latest iteration and are willing to pay more for it.
