How Long Is the Wait for a Kia Telluride?

The average wait for a Kia Telluride is between 4 and 6 months. Some people have waited as long as 8 months. The main reason for the long wait is due to the high demand for the SUV. Kia has only been able to produce a limited number of Tellurides each month and the vast majority of them have been spoken for by dealers before they even reach the showroom floor. If you're looking to purchase a Kia Telluride, your best bet is to find a dealer that has one in stock or put your name on a waiting list at your preferred dealership.

Kia Telluride dealerships typically receive new inventory on a monthly basis. This ensures that customers have a wide selection of vehicles to choose from and that the dealership always has the latest models available. The timing of when new inventory arrives can vary depending on the specific dealership, but most follow a similar schedule.

The Kia Telluride is a large SUV that has been in production since 2020. As of 2021, there are approximately 9,000 Kia Tellurides in production. The vast majority of these vehicles are destined for the North American market, where they are assembled at Kia's plant in Georgia. Europe and other global markets will receive a smaller number of Tellurides, with the vast majority of those vehicles being sold in South Korea.

The expected delivery date for new Kia Telluride orders is late 2020. Kia has not released an exact date, but based on the production timelines of other Kia models, we expect the Telluride to start arriving at dealerships in the fall of 2020. Many factors can affect production timelines, so the exact date may shift, but late 2020 is the most likely time frame for new Kia Telluride orders.
