How Many Seats are in the Kia Telluride?

The Kia Telluride comes in two seating styles: standard 8-passenger or available 7-passenger. This configuration choice lets you decide what style works best for your family’s needs.

The 8-passenger style is great for those with a growing family or who like to carpool. The 7-passenger style gives you one less seat but equips the second row with captain’s chairs. This opens up the area a bit more and provides an easier way to climb into the back. 

How Much Cargo Volume Does the Kia Telluride Offer?

No matter the configuration choice, you’ll find plenty of cargo volume within the Kia Telluride. Both the second and third rows can be folded down to give you access to the entire cabin. The cargo volume measures:

• All seats up: 21 cubic feet
• Third row folded down: 46 cubic feet
• Second & third rows folded down: 87 cubic feet

To get to this maximum amount, you’ll need to fold down the seats. The 8-passenger Telluride offers a standard 60/40 split-folding second row, while the 7-passenger style has a 50/50 split-fold. Both seating styles offer 60/40 split-folding third rows.

What’s the Fuel Economy for the Kia Telluride?

Whether you’re taking the kids to school or getting yourself to work, it helps to have a model with high fuel economy numbers. You’ll be impressed by the Telluride’s EPA-estimated numbers, which differ slightly between front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD). These numbers are the following:

• FWD: 20 city/26 highway MPG¹

You’ll easily be able to run from place to place as you complete all your errands.

Can the Kia Telluride Tow?

What’s the Engine and Transmission in the Kia Telluride?

The Kia Telluride has shown itself to be one strong machine, but where does all of it come from? Under the hood, you’ll find a standard 3.8L V6 engine that pumps out up to 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque.

This engine comes paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Plus, you’ll find a fun Drive Mode Select system that features modes, like Comfort, Eco, and Sport.
