Here is the confirmed updates from KIA that I received for 2025 model.

What is your source of information ?
Have looked @ dealerships from Ca. to N.J., & while I'm able to look @ window stickers on some incoming cars, the dealerships claim they have NO info on the 2025 Telluride ??
One dealer told me today they expect a delivery next week..

Steven Catrelle. He works for Kia and is a main contributer to the tellurideforum.org

Thanks for your feedback
Maybe Steven could explain why Kia, who has been posting 2025 pricing info on some models since May 2024, have NO info on the 2025 Telluride ?
Whatever their game plan is, I don't see how it helps the consumer..

I agree. He said the reason they don't update the website right away it's because they're pushing a 2024 is out. I'm sure they don't want consumers to consume a 2025s as fast with so much 2024 inventory

Not buying it.
Kia not only has been posting prices since May 2024, there are 2025 cars on the lots already, just not Tellurides !!

A dealer near me has ( 4 ) 2025 Tellurides on the lot & ( 2 ) more incoming.
Now if Kia would update their website, I could put a plan together..

Exactly

Just bought a 2025 S yesterday. Auto lift gate standard now. Price was only 500 more than a 2024 so it was an easy decision.

Congrats & good luck with the 25.
I will order a 25, but not until I build one on the website.
I want to see the 2025 color options, any changes to the standard features, & new options if any,.................& prices !!

The Kia website finally updated for the 2025 MY yesterday, ( 09/25/2024 ), for anyone interested in looking around.
I'm a little disappointed in the color options in the upper trim levels, likely order Wolf Gray, a color I'm not wild about..

I think the color options are horrible I'm not sure why they decrease the number of colors. No more dawning red
