2025 Kia Telluride Interior Design & Cargo Space
Climb into the 2025 Kia Telluride and discover an interior built for family adventures and relaxing road trips. Two rear rows of bench seating invite your passengers to stretch out; second-row captain’s chairs are offered on select higher-level trims. You and your passengers can handle seasonal changes in temperature thanks to available heated and ventilated front and second-row seats, as well as standard automatic climate controls.
When it comes to hauling cargo, you’ll find efficient solutions throughout the Telluride. The second- and third-row bench seats come with 60/40 split-folds so you can quickly lower them — the second-row bench seat makes things easier with its one-touch slide and folding function. When the two rear rows are still fully upright, you have up to 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. You’ll have more space with the third row lowered — up to 46 cubic feet.
