Used 2023 Kia Telluride for Sale nearPeterborough, ON

How much does the 2023 Kia Telluride cost?

Prices have softened 16.20% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 235 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory for you to compare.

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 Telluride also stands out for its smooth ride and extensive feature content, which makes it a strong fit if you want a family-size SUV that feels polished and modern.

The main trade-offs are that some interior materials feel cheap, and the manual third-row seating and steering wheel could be improved. Even so, the 2023 update adds minor styling changes, new technologies, and extra off-road character, so it remains a compelling choice if you want a three-row SUV with broad appeal.

With 31.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still meaningful value in the market if you shop carefully.

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 dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with repeated praise for comfort, technology, and the upscale feel. The expert drive notes also reinforce that impression by describing the Telluride as a strong all-around package that is easy to recommend.

It also comes across as a vehicle you can count on for daily family use, with a smooth ride and a well-rounded feature set. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that some interior materials and controls may not age as gracefully as the rest of the SUV.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The X-Line and X-Pro add raised suspension, unique exterior details, and a more rugged look, while the SX trim brings additional safety technology that lower trims do not get.
• Powertrain: You get a 3.8-litre V6 with 291 horsepower and an 8-speed automatic transmission, plus AWD with a low-speed Lock setting and driving modes including Eco, Comfort, Smart, Sport, and Snow.
• Safety package: Kia’s standard suite 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-centring 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. Advanced Highway Drive Assist with Lane Change Assist starts on SX trim, and some extra collision-avoidance features are also reserved for SX and higher.
• Infotainment: Every model gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, navigation, Kia Connect services, OTA updates, and wireless phone charging. A digital instrumentation panel is available, and the system supports two Bluetooth devices at once.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert drive recorded 9.8 L/100 km in mixed driving for the X-Line, 11.5 L/100 km for the X-Pro during off-road use, and Natural Resources Canada rates the model at 11.4 L/100 km combined.

Which 2023 Kia Telluride trim should I buy?

The 2023 Kia Telluride is offered in 5 trim levels: EX, SX, SX Limited, X-Line, and X-Pro.

Here's the short version:

• EX: This is the entry point, and it gives you the standard AWD setup along with the core Telluride experience. It makes sense if you want the model’s comfort, technology, and safety without stretching to the more expensive trims.
• SX: This is the best-value trim if you want the strongest mix of equipment and safety. It adds Advanced Highway Drive Assist with Lane Change Assist and unlocks more collision-avoidance features.
• SX Limited: Choose this if you want a more upscale feel and are willing to pay for extra luxury-oriented content.
• X-Line: This is the better pick if you want the more rugged styling and the raised suspension, while still keeping the Telluride’s family-friendly character.
• X-Pro: This is the one to choose if you want the most off-road-focused version, with all-terrain tires, 18-inch wheels, improved cooling, and higher towing capacity.

The safety package is especially strong across the lineup, but SX trim and higher bring the most advanced driver-assistance features.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it rewards you if you compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 235 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.20% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $40,520 CAD, 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 $40,520 CAD sits slightly below last year's $48,354 CAD.

That price drop suggests the market has become more favourable for buyers, but it also means future sellers may need to be realistic about expectations. If you buy now, you are entering at a lower average price point than last year, which can help reduce depreciation pressure in the near term.

The Telluride’s strong reputation for comfort, technology, and overall appeal should help support demand when it is time to sell. Well-equipped family SUVs with broad popularity tend to hold attention better than more niche alternatives, especially when owner satisfaction stays high.

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 Telluride earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS.

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

Kia equips every Telluride with a long list of standard safety features, including 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-centring 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.

Advanced Highway Drive Assist is standard starting with SX trim, and SX or higher also adds more collision-avoidance features tied to oncoming traffic, evasive steering assist, and lane-change accident prevention. That means the safety story is already strong at the base level, but higher trims bring even more capability.

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:

• 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.20% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 adds minor styling changes, new technologies, and extra off-road character through X-Line and X-Pro trims.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $46,171 CAD, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $40,520 CAD average.
• It adds gloss-black exterior detailing for the X-Line and X-Pro versions.

The bottom line: If you want the better value play, the 2023 is the smarter buy because it delivers the refreshed Telluride formula at a lower average price. If you are willing to pay more for a slightly newer model with minor cosmetic updates, the 2024 is the cleaner alternative.
