Blackberry/sand Executive Package “Decomissioned”
I was so excited to have reserved an SXP with the purple interior. The interior videos are what converted me to wanting a 27 Telluride. The dealer called to tell me the VINs for all SXPs with the executive package have been decommissioned.
It makes sense that on Kia’s inventory search the SXP executive package is not searchable. You can only search for X-line SXP executive packages. So it doesn’t seem like they scrapped the executive package entirely, just the purple that comes with the non-X line.
I assume the folding seat recall had something to do with it, but they are still offering the X-line executive so it is not across the board.
It is crazy that all the press vehicles were optioned with the blackberry interior, which created interest and now it’s not going to be available.
I’m wresting with the all black interior. I definitely don’t want the navy/tuscan umber which is the only other available interior for the SXP. I’m thinking that if the ambient lighting is really bright it might break up some of the black. I’m having a hard time moving on from the purple. (My husband hated it, but it wasn’t going to be his vehicle anyway). If the saddle was available I’d have wanted that with the Dark Jade Green.
Just an update for anyone else who wanted a light (and purple) interior.
