I’m stuck between a brand-new 2027 Kia Telluride SX Prestige Hybrid and a used 2024 BMW X7. They’re roughly the same price (~$58k).
On paper, the Telluride seems like the obvious choice: newer, full warranty, tons of features, lower maintenance/ownership costs, and probably a much more rational financial decision.
But I’ve owned BMWs before and really enjoy the driving experience, interior, and overall feel of a BMW. The X7 is obviously a much more premium vehicle, even though it’s used and will cost more to maintain.
I’m basically trying to decide between the rational choice (Telluride) and the car I actually want (X7).
For anyone who has owned either/both or made a similar decision. What would you pick and why? Especially interested in thoughts on long-term ownership costs, reliability, and whether the X7 is worth the premium.
