Wow, amazing interior for Kia.

Two things though: Does the shifter look too Lexusish? I do not mean the actual shifter but the path on the "wood." Hah, sorry for the incorrect terminology.

And second, on the instrument panel, the High, Normal, and Low ride height. Doesn't that look exactly the same to the GX470? Or is that a standard icon?

Other than that, the only thing I can say I do not like is how buttony the center of the dash is, despite the navigation. I would think they would have an AC button for the display, so they could hide half of those buttons. However, I am not complaining.

Very job well done for Kia.

I believe those "buttons" on both sides are just there for easier holding. Gated shifters don't have release buttons.

Not bad for a Kia. Hyundai's must have done them more good than under Ford...
