2023 Kia Telluride Interior Space

If you’d prefer to carry your cargo inside your SUV rather than behind it, the Kia Telluride features a spacious interior cabin with plenty of room for passengers and cargo alike! As a midsize SUV, the 2023 Telluride can comfortably seat up to eight passengers across three rows of seats, while still featuring an expansive cargo area in the rear. And if you want to maximize your cargo space on the Jefferson County roads, you can fold down the second and third rows of seats. Here are all of the relevant dimensions:

  • Cargo Volume Behind First Row: 87 Cubic Feet
  • Cargo Volume Behind Second Row: 46 Cubic Feet
  • Cargo Volume Behind Third Row: 21 Cubic Feet
  • Total Passenger Volume: 178.1 cubic feet

2023 Kia Telluride Tow Package

If you want to take advantage of the full 5,000-pound towing capacity, you’ll need to hook up the Kia Telluride tow hitch to the back of your SUV. But, the 2023 Telluride also comes with a wide variety of other features designed to make hauling cargo as smooth, safe, and comfortably as possible. Here are some highlighted features that come standard on the Kia Telluride:

  • Standard Safe Exit Assist
  • AWD
  • Available Blind Spot View Monitor
  • Standard Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist
  • Standard Parking Distance Warning – Reverse
  • Hill Start Assist Control
