Is the 2023 Kia Telluride a good car?

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

Owners consistently praise the comfort, technology, and upscale feel, and many say it feels more luxurious than its price suggests. The expert review also highlights its stylish design and impressive technology, while calling it an excellent family-size sport-ute. The main trade-offs are some interior materials that feel cheap and a few usability quirks, including manual third-row seating and a steering wheel that could be better.

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

Owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with repeated praise for comfort, technology, and the upscale feel. The expert review also describes it as a vehicle you can recommend with confidence, and notes that Kia backs it with a long warranty. That combination lowers long-term ownership risk for used buyers, though you should still check maintenance history and condition carefully.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on a three-row SUV where wear can show up in seating, trim, and electronics. Focus on overall condition, because the model’s appeal depends heavily on how well it has been maintained and equipped.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The X-Line adds a raised suspension, unique grille, raised roof rails, body-color door handles, and black 20-inch wheels, while the X-Pro uses exclusive 18-inch wheels and all-terrain tires. The base trims do not get those more rugged visual and hardware upgrades.
• Powertrain: The Telluride uses a 3.8-liter V6 with 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, paired 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 parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, Safe Exit Assist, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Highway Drive Assist 1.5, automatic high beams, driver attention warning, and Rear Occupant Alert. Highway Drive Assist 2.0 is standard starting with SX trim, and SX trim or higher adds more collision-avoidance features plus front parking sensors, a surround-view camera, and Blind-Spot View Monitor.
• Infotainment: Every model gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM, navigation, Kia Connect services, a Wi-Fi hotspot, OTA updates, and Bluetooth pairing for two devices. Wireless smartphone charging, digital key capability, and a Full Display Mirror are available.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert review reports 24.1 mpg in mixed driving for the X-Line, 20.4 mpg for the X-Pro during off-road use, and an official EPA estimate of 21 mpg combined for AWD models.

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, so it makes sense if you want the Telluride’s core space, safety, and standard tech without paying for extras you may not need.
• S: This is the value-minded step up if you want a little more equipment while staying below the higher trims.
• EX: This is the best-value trim if you want a stronger mix of comfort and features, and it can also be paired with the X-Line package.
• SX: This is the trim to target if you want the richer safety and driver-assistance content, including Highway Drive Assist 2.0 and additional collision-avoidance features.
• SX Prestige: This is the pick if you want the most upscale feel and the most available equipment, and it can also be paired with X-Line or X-Pro.

The X-Line package is available with EX, SX, and SX Prestige, while the X-Pro package requires SX or SX Prestige trim. If you want the most rugged-looking version, those packages are the ones to watch.

• Inventory: There are 5,987 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.43% compared with last year.

What is the 2023 Kia Telluride's resale value?

The current average of $31,719 sits slightly below last year's $35,413.

That decline suggests the market has become more favorable for buyers, but it also means sellers may need to price competitively to move a used Telluride. If you own one, strong condition and a clean history matter more than ever because shoppers have plenty of comparable listings to choose from. Well-kept examples should still hold appeal thanks to the model’s broad popularity and strong feature set.

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.
