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 the comfort, technology, and upscale feel, and they also highlight the smooth ride and extensive feature content. The Telluride’s family-size layout and polished design make it especially appealing if you want a three-row SUV that feels more premium than many rivals.

The main trade-offs are some interior materials that feel cheap and a manual third-row seating setup that some owners would like improved. Even so, the overall package remains strong for buyers who want a stylish, well-equipped SUV with broad everyday appeal.

Is the 2023 Kia Telluride reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable, comfortable, and easy to live with over time. Reviewers repeatedly mention the smooth ride, strong technology, and upscale feel, which are the kinds of traits that usually support confidence in daily use and long-term ownership.

The expert drive notes also reinforce that impression by describing the Telluride as a strong all-around performer with broad appeal. Kia’s warranty coverage adds another ownership advantage, including a long powertrain warranty that can help reduce worry for used buyers.

For used shoppers, the main long-term risk is not a broad reliability red flag but rather condition-specific wear, especially if the vehicle has seen heavy family use.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a vehicle-by-vehicle review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if you are considering a higher-mileage example or one with visible wear. Focus on interior condition, third-row operation, and any signs that the vehicle has been used hard.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes LX, S, EX, SX, and SX Prestige, with X-Line available on EX, SX, and SX Prestige, and X-Pro requiring SX or SX Prestige. Base versions get the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen and a long list of safety tech, while higher trims add more advanced driver assistance and premium convenience features.
• 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 setup includes drive modes plus 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, and SX 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, Wi-Fi hotspot access, OTA updates, and dual-device Bluetooth pairing. Wireless smartphone charging, digital key, and a Full Display Mirror are available on higher trims.
• Fuel efficiency: The AWD model should return 21 mpg in combined driving. In testing, the X-Line averaged 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’s space and tech without paying for extras you may not need.
• S: This trim adds a step up in equipment while staying below the more expensive luxury-oriented versions. It is a sensible middle-ground choice if you want more comfort and convenience without jumping too far in price.
• EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it sits in the sweet spot between equipment and cost. It also opens the door to the X-Line package if you want the more rugged look and added capability.
• SX: This is the trim to target if you want the more advanced driver-assistance features, including Highway Drive Assist 2.0 and additional collision-avoidance tech. It also adds front parking sensors, a surround-view camera, and Blind-Spot View Monitor.
• SX Prestige: Choose this if you want the most upscale version of the Telluride, especially when paired with X-Line or X-Pro. It is the right pick if you want the richest feature set and the most premium feel.

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

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to compare listings and wait for the right one.

• Deal availability: 36.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,712 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.80% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 87.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $32,520, 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 $32,520 sits slightly below last year's $36,055.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled from a year ago, which can help you buy more affordably now. For a future seller, that also means resale value may depend more on condition, mileage, and trim desirability than on broad market momentum alone.

The good news is that the Telluride’s strong reputation should help support demand when it is time to sell. Buyers tend to respond well to vehicles with high satisfaction scores, especially when they combine style, comfort, and a premium-feeling 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.

Is the 2023 Kia Telluride safe?

The 2023 Kia Telluride was unavailable for crash-test ratings when this review was published.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Kia equips every Telluride with a broad standard safety suite 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. Highway Drive Assist 2.0 starts with SX trim and adds Lane Change Assist, while SX also brings front parking sensors, low-speed automatic braking while parking, a surround-view camera with a forward view, and Blind-Spot View Monitor. That means the safety story gets stronger as you move up the lineup.

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:

• 36.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.80% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds minor styling changes, new technologies, and X-Line and X-Pro trims.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $27,163, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $32,520 average.
• It emphasizes strong value, broad appeal, and more standard equipment.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $36,285, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $32,520 average.
• It adds minor detail updates and feels especially complete for family use.

The bottom line: the 2023 is the right choice if you want the updated look, new tech, and strong safety content without paying the newer-model premium. If your priority is the lowest purchase price, the 2022 is the better value play; if you want the freshest version and can spend more, the 2024 is the more polished alternative.
