How much does the 2023 Kia Telluride cost?

Prices have softened 11.25% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

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 smooth ride and extensive feature set also come through repeatedly in owner feedback.

The main trade-offs are some interior materials that feel cheap and a few usability complaints, including the manual third-row seating and steering wheel. Even so, the Telluride fits especially well if you want a refined three-row family SUV with a strong equipment list and broad appeal.

With 37.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some attractive opportunities.

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, comfortable, and easy to live with over time. The strong technology, smooth ride, and upscale feel also support the impression that this is a model you can count on for daily family use.

The expert review also reinforces that sense of durability by describing the Telluride as a well-rounded, easy-to-recommend SUV with a long warranty. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about core reliability and more about finding one that has been maintained well and not worn hard.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.3% — 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 any signs of heavy family use. It also makes sense to pay close attention to trim-specific equipment, since the Telluride’s feature content changes meaningfully as you move up the lineup.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The X-Line adds a raised suspension, unique grille design, raised roof rails, body-color door handles, and black 20-inch wheels, while the X-Pro adds exclusive 18-inch wheels and all-terrain tires. The base trims get the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen and fresh styling updates, but the more rugged-looking versions add the off-road attitude and visual distinction.
• 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 adds a Lock setting, and the X-Line and X-Pro versions also benefit from suspension and traction-control changes aimed at improved off-road performance.
• 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 with Lane Change Assist starts with SX trim, and SX trim also adds front parking sensors, low-speed automatic braking while parking, a surround-view camera with a forward view, and Blind-Spot View Monitor.
• Infotainment: Every model gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, navigation, Kia Connect services, a Wi-Fi hotspot, over-the-air updates, Bluetooth pairing for two devices, six USB ports, Driver Talk, and Quiet Mode. Wireless smartphone charging, a 10-speaker Harman Kardon system, digital key capability, and a Full Display Mirror are available on higher trims.
• Fuel efficiency: The AWD model is rated at 21 mpg in combined driving, and the X-Line returned 24.1 mpg in testing 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 gets the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, broad safety suite, and the core Telluride experience. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the model and do not need the extra convenience and appearance upgrades found higher up.
• S: This trim is the first step up if you want a little more equipment without jumping too far in price. It should appeal to shoppers who want a better-balanced mix of value and features than the base model.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it sits in the sweet spot between equipment and price. It also opens the door to the X-Line package, which adds the more rugged styling and suspension changes.
• SX: This is the trim to target if you want the richer safety and driver-assistance content, including Highway Drive Assist 2.0 and the added parking and camera features. It also unlocks the X-Pro package, making it the better choice if you want the most capability-oriented version.
• SX Prestige: This is the most upscale choice, and it suits you if you want the fullest feature set and the most premium feel. It can also be paired with the X-Line or X-Pro packages for buyers who want luxury and rugged styling together.

Safety-package upgrades begin with SX trim, where Highway Drive Assist 2.0 and several additional collision-avoidance and parking features come in.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory and pricing softness to reward careful shopping.

• Deal availability: 37.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,784 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.25% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 84.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,130, 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 $31,130 sits slightly below last year's $35,076.

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. The current range still shows healthy demand, though, which helps support values better than a weaker mainstream SUV might.

If you own one and keep it in good condition, the Telluride’s broad appeal should help it remain marketable. Strong equipment, family-friendly packaging, and a desirable reputation all work in its favor when it is time to 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 long list of standard driver-assistance features, including 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, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Highway Drive Assist 1.5, automatic high beams, driver attention warning, and Rear Occupant Alert.

Highway Drive Assist 2.0 with Lane Change Assist starts with SX trim, and SX also adds front parking sensors, low-speed automatic braking while parking, a surround-view camera with a forward view, and Blind-Spot View Monitor. That means higher trims bring a more advanced safety and parking toolkit than the lower trims.

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:

• 37.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.25% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 adds minor styling updates, new technologies, and X-Line and X-Pro trims with more off-road attitude.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $25,750, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $31,130 average.
• It adds more standard equipment and strong value.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $34,565, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $31,130 average.
• It keeps the formula largely intact with minor detail changes and standard amber running lights.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of price, features, and current-market availability, the 2023 is the sweet spot. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 is the better value play; if you want the newest version and do not mind paying more, the 2024 is the cleaner upgrade path.
