How much does the 2023 Kia Telluride cost?

Prices have softened 9.82% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,844 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing trims and prices.

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, luxury feel, and smooth ride, and many say it feels more upscale than its price suggests. That lines up with the Telluride’s role as a three-row family SUV that aims to feel stylish and well equipped rather than merely practical. The main trade-offs are some cheap-feeling interior materials and a manual third-row seating setup that some owners would like improved.

The market also looks healthy, with 36.3% of listings priced as good or great deals.

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. The expert evaluation also emphasizes that the Telluride is a strong all-around package with a long warranty and broad appeal, which supports confidence for used buyers who want something they can count on.

Kia’s long warranty coverage adds another ownership advantage, especially if you’re trying to reduce long-term risk on a used SUV. Even so, you should still pay close attention to maintenance records and overall condition, since any used three-row SUV can hide wear from family use.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.9% — 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 that checks the interior, electronics, and suspension, since this SUV is often used as a family hauler and may show wear in those areas. Focus especially on how the cabin materials, third-row access, and driver-assistance systems have held up.

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 fresh styling, updated headlights and taillights, the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, and the full suite of core safety tech, while higher trims add more upscale equipment and more advanced driver assistance.
• 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 for tougher conditions.
• 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 on SX trim.
• 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, and Bluetooth pairing for two devices. Wireless smartphone charging, a 10-speaker Harman Kardon system, digital key capability, and a Full Display Mirror are available upgrades.
• Fuel efficiency: The AWD model is rated at 21 mpg combined, and the test vehicle returned 24.1 mpg in mixed driving. The X-Pro returned 20.4 mpg during a route that included off-roading.

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 and the full core safety suite, so you’re not giving up the basics. It makes sense if you want the Telluride’s space and style at the lowest starting point.
• S: This trim is the better value if you want a little more equipment without jumping too far up the price ladder. It keeps the Telluride’s strong standard tech and safety foundation while moving you closer to the sweet spot for everyday family use.
• EX: This is the trim to watch if you want a more upscale feel without going all the way to the top. It also opens the door to the X-Line package, which adds a more rugged look and some extra capability-oriented hardware.
• SX: This is the best-value trim for shoppers who want the most meaningful upgrades, including Highway Drive Assist 2.0 and additional collision-avoidance features. It also unlocks the X-Pro package, which is the more adventurous choice if you want the off-road-oriented setup.
• SX Prestige: Choose this if you want the most premium version of the Telluride and are willing to pay for it. It pairs the highest equipment level with the available X-Line or X-Pro packages, making it the top choice for shoppers who want maximum content.

Starting with SX trim, you also get Highway Drive Assist 2.0 and additional collision-avoidance features.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,844 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.82% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $32,378, 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 $32,378 sits slightly below last year's $35,904.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled enough to help buyers now, but it also means future sellers may need to price competitively to stand out. If you buy at today’s average or below, you may have less immediate depreciation pressure than someone who bought when prices were higher. Strong demand and broad appeal should still help support resale interest over time.

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?

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

The Telluride comes standard with a long list of 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, Highway Drive Assist 1.5, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, automatic high beams, driver attention warning, and Rear Occupant Alert.

Starting with SX trim, you also get Highway Drive Assist 2.0, Lane Change Assist, front parking sensors, low-speed automatic braking while parking, a surround-view camera with a forward view, and Blind-Spot View Monitor. That means lower trims still get a strong safety foundation, but the more advanced highway and parking aids are reserved for higher versions.

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:

• 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.82% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds minor styling changes, new technology, and new X-Line and X-Pro trims.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $27,009, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $32,378 average.
• It emphasizes strong value and more standard equipment.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $36,150, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $32,378 average.
• It adds minor detail updates and keeps the Telluride’s polished, family-friendly appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, features, and current-market availability, the 2023 is the strongest all-around pick. If your budget is tighter, the 2022 is the better value play. If you want the newest version and don’t mind paying more, the 2024 is the cleaner upgrade path.
