The midsize three-row SUV segment is stacked. The Kia Telluride and Ford Explorer are two of its top contenders. Ottawa Kia highlights all the areas that paint the Kia SUV as your top pick for a new SUV.

Interior Space

There’s seating for up to eight in the Kia Telluride, depending on the configuration you choose, while the Ford Explorer only seats up to seven in select models. Even compared to the biggest Ford Explorer model, the Kia SUV has almost eight extra cubic feet of passenger volume, including class-leading second-row legroom. The third row of the Kia Telluride also offers more space, with extra shoulder room and three and a half extra inches of hip room.

Cargo Capacity

Even though there’s more passenger space in the Kia Telluride, it doesn’t skimp on cargo capacity. There’s an ample 22.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, compared to just 16.3 cubic feet in the Ford Explorer. When you fold the rear rows down, the Kia Telluride can carry up to 89.3 cubic feet of cargo, while the Ford Explorer can only hold up to 85.8 cubic feet of cargo.

Innovative Tech

Each midsize SUV is loaded with cutting-edge tech, including expansive touchscreens, wireless smartphone integration, and Wi-Fi® hotspot capabilities. However, the Kia Telluride takes it up a notch. It has features you won’t find in the Ford Explorer, such as a dual wireless charger and available Passenger Talk, which lets you speak to your rear passengers using the cabin microphone and speakers.
