Probably get a better deal on a Highlander, currently over 43,000 of them sitting on dealer lots so they are more than willing to deal, plus there is 1.9% financing, $3,000 cash rebate, plus $750 cash rebate for military, plus $500 for graduates. And people are concerned with Kia’s not holding their value. LOL
All of those Toyota incentives sure don’t help resale value on the Highlander.
On the Highlander, Limited with typical options retails for about $49,000, invoice is about $44,600, true market value is about $45,000 minus minimum cash rebate of $3,000 brings it down to $42,000 so easily $6,000 off MSRP.
But it's not an Audi. It matter to some what emblem they sit behind. If that weren't the case, Genesis would have driven the 7-series into the ditch by now.

You are comparing apples to oranges there. Your first link was sales numbers for ALL Genesis models when really you need to compare the 7-Series with the G90, and here is the G99 sakes:
“And The Verdict Is ...
Both the 2020 Kia Telluride and the 2020 Ford Explorer bring a lot to the table, but the Kia is simply the more well-rounded vehicle. The big Korean also comes with features found in pricier luxury SUVs, such as heated and ventilated second-row seats, a blind-spot monitor, and a self-leveling rear air suspension, while topping out at $46,860.
An equally equipped 2020 Explorer costs well into the $50,000 range, yet the quality, road manners, and comfort pales in comparison against the Telluride. For those reasons, the 2020 Kia Telluride wins this matchup.”
No issue as a TSB now addresses it for a rear half shaft.
Demand continues to out perform supply.
By the way, another review where both the Kia and Hyundai beat the competition.
“Not long ago, paying $50,000 for a Kia would have seemed ridiculous. Now there's one that seems like a ridiculous steal at $50,000.”
I see where a TSB is mentioned on one of the Hyundai/Kia forums, but no link and I can't find one on the Kia sight that links TSB/RECALLS, etc.
I found this quote, from 34 minutes ago, at the bottom of the post mentioning, but not linking the TSB:
"Just as an update, service changed the rear drive shaft and then the 4WD coupler and it improved things but did not remove the vibration. I then started the arbitration process. While waiting on arbitration, service wanted to replace the rear drive shaft and the 4WD coupler again. So we did that and after I ran a 55 mile highway test found that there was still vibration. Perhaps mine needed the rear differential as Albert said fixed his - but with arbitration, I am scheduled to have Kia repurchase the vehicle. Kia Tech Line, although slow to believe we all had a problem, has ended up working hard on a fix. My service department at Cronin Kia in Harrison, Ohio has fully worked on the problem. I truly hope that the issue is soon fully resolved since the Telluride is such a great concept."
I did like what I saw at the Kia dealer. I just can't get past the TELURIDE in big chrome letters across the hood. The Palisades is a bit more modest for our tastes, yet still has all the bells and whistles.
Maybe next year after the dust settles at the dealer's driveways.
