2020 KIA TELLURIDE S

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Certificate of Title” and the primary damage as “HAIL.” Stage 1 reports that the hail claim is not supported by the visible evidence: the roof, hood, and rear hatch appear largely smooth, with no dense pattern of shallow dents concentrated on the upward-facing panels. A localized paint chip is visible on the hood, but no widespread hail-dent distribution is apparent. The documented visible damage is minor. A small paint chip is present on the front portion of the hood near the right headlamp, exposing a lighter-colored substrate beneath the dark finish. No surrounding panel deformation is visible. Several light linear scuff marks are also present on the glossy black center-console trim beside the center armrest. The VIN decodes as a 2020 Kia Telluride S, a gasoline SUV manufactured by Kia Georgia, Inc. in the United States. It is equipped with a 3.8-liter V6 engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and 4x2 drive. The vehicle is configured with three rows and eight seats. NHTSA recall records provided for the 2020 Telluride include campaigns involving rear and other seat belts, trailer brake-light wiring when Smart Cruise Control is used with a trailer, certain tow-hitch harnesses, high-beam headlights, the intermediate and right-front driveshafts, and the front power-seat motor. An additional 2026 recall record concerns the front power-seat motor and replaces recall 24V407; its remedy is expected to be available in August 2026. Recall completion should be confirmed with Kia or an authorized dealer using the vehicle’s VIN before purchase.
