You’ll spend countless hours driving your SUV, so you should get one that’s comfortable and entertaining to ride in. The 2024 Kia Telluride is ranked number one among midsize SUVs by U.S. News and World Report because of its upmarket interior and easy-to-use tech features. The 2024 Ford Explorer has a balanced ride and sporty handling, but it’s not as well-appointed as the Telluride. Preston’s Kia in Montpelier, VT has provided the following comparison of the two SUVs to help you choose between them.
Interior Quality
The 2024 Kia Telluride has one of the nicest interiors in its class, with high-quality materials and modern, attractive styling. Burlington, VT drivers will appreciate that it comes standard with synthetic leather upholstery and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Higher trims have Nappa leather seats and genuine wood or microsuede accents.
The 2024 Ford Explorer has hard plastic trim and other unremarkable materials lining its cabin. It comes standard with cloth upholstery, and only the highest Explorer trims have authentic leather seating.
Cargo Space
For most family trips, you need a lot of space for luggage or camping gear. People in Barre, VT will like the 2024 Kia Telluride’s 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. Folding the second and third rows of seats down opens up 87 cubic feet of cargo room.
The 2024 Ford Explorer only has 18.2 cubic feet of space behind its third row of seats. It has slightly more than 87 cubic feet of room with all the back seats folded, but that doesn’t help when the seats are occupied by passengers.
Infotainment
It’s a cinch to operate the 2024 Kia Telluride’s infotainment system while you’re commuting to Randolph, VT. It comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen that has sharp graphics and an easily navigable interface. It also comes with a Wi-Fi hotspot and a navigation system.
The 2024 Ford Explorer’s standard touchscreen is only 8 inches long, and the upgraded system only has a 10.1-inch touchscreen. It also comes with a Wi-Fi hotspot, but navigation is just optional.
