Seems to depend a lot on the trim level, but they’re so new the oldest within 500 miles of me is only ~60 days old. Right now I’d lean towards an XC90 if you’re going for a higher end Telluride, but they’re both great vehicles.

I’d love the XC90 but those are like 2x the MSRP of the Telluride, and more than I want to pay.
Judging by some of the “deals” posted in this thread, you can probably get an XC90 for similar (or less) monthly than a higher optioned Telluride.

all the dealers here in NE Ohio are telling me MSRP is the sales price because they can’t keep them in stock, especially the upper trims. I did have one local dealer just tell me he would give me an LX or S at invoice…BUT, he failed to share what that price actually is. I don’t even know how to find that out…since he ignored my follow up about it.
I used this before in a Camry thread and think it applies here:
Epiphany ( e·piph·a·ny. əˈpifənē) - the moment on LH, when you realize the luxury vehicle leases better than the similarly equipped mainstream one which costs 10-20k less.

Definitely. Even my loaded up X2 with a marked up MF cost less to lease ($370/mo w/TX sales tax, all fees rolled in) than your average monthly on a similarly equipped mainstream marque.

so what will be the numbers on the S for 36/12 or 24/10/ or 24/12?
Not much room there is there…
Looks like 3-4%.
Ask on Edmunds
It’s interesting how with the advent of interwebs the spread between msrp and invoice magically shrunk. Yeah, I’m a dealer who invested millions of $ into a brand new dealership and I’m going to potentially make $1k on a $40k vehicle (trunk/funny money not included), assuming the car sells at MSRP 
.
The real money is in used car sales, parts, and service.
At volume stores, consider new car to be a loss leader.

It will be interesting to see if Kia and the dealers move the prices when the https://www.hyundaiusa.com/palisade/index.aspx comes out, it’s pretty much the same car, except the Hyundai has a digital console…

I think it’s decent; however, my only beef is with the discount. Dealerships are trying really hard to milk this. This is their moment.
That drive off effectively makes cost about $85/mo more.
Try to get another 2K+ off dealer discount to cover the first payment and CCR. (then pocket the CCR to shield yourself against total/theft/lemon)
It’s their time and the hype is real.I went to 3 dealerships yesterday. Yonkers Kia has nothing, but the young man I spoke with said everyone is basically leasing them for 400+. Frank at Northstar Kia lied to me told me they had 3 Tellurides one (s) and two (sx) models, I went there and they had nothing and the manager apologized and claimed their calls are forwarded to a call center because they were moving… Yeahh?! She is a liar too because they had a DJ playing music when I called 40 minutes earlier and when I came they DJ was playing out front. Finally went out to LI saw a bunch of LX, EX models. They are selling really fast even at outrageous prices. I told the salesman I knew the numbers and just wanted to get a fair deal. His deal was 469 x 36 months with 3000 down EX Model MSRP 41,355 with incentives Final Price is 38,455. I will just wait until the winter or even next year, because as previously stated KIA has halted production of the SX for whatever reason

Aside from the lying, there was no point going there without having an agreed deal.

Who said I didn’t…? We discussed pricing what I want to pay etc… Let’s act like adults
