The 2021 Kia Telluride continues to lead the automotive SUV segment, effortlessly outperforming competitors like the 2021 GMC Acadia. Both of these staple SUV models have something to offer the families of Tampa Bay, but the Telluride continues to hit higher marks in comparison.
The Kia Telluride offers seating for up to eight passengers while still leaving 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. This standard amount of space gives Tampa families plenty of room for tackling their daily lives inside the Telluride. For those times when just two rows of seats are needed the 2021 Telluride can open up 46 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second-row seats, or up to 87 cubic feet of space behind the first row. The competing 2021 Acadia falls short of the Telluride, offering just 12.8 cubic feet of standard cargo space and 79 cubic feet of maximum interior storage space.
Aside from the capability and convenience of this Kia SUV, there are so many more reasons to love the Telluride from Friendly Kia over other members of the competition. The Telluride offers attractive interior amenities, such as Nappa leather interior and a Harman Kardon® 10-Speaker Premium Audio system, and brings an eye-catching array of exterior color options that gives Tampa Bay drivers the ability to customize their SUV.
