Many full-size SUVs like the Chevy Tahoe and the Kia Telluride have a lot of power working behind the scenes. While they’re each known for being able to transport up to eight passengers, you’ll need a bit of engine power to actually take your passengers somewhere.
Every person is different, which is why we believe it’s important to find the perfect fit for your family. With the Chevy Tahoe, you’ll be able to choose between multiple powertrains.
The standard 5.3L V8 engine and the available 6.2L V8 engine represent two gas options, while the 3.0L Duramax® Turbo Diesel engine shakes things up a bit by offering diesel power. Unfortunately, the Kia Telluride only offers the singular 3.8L V6 engine across all trims.
You may be thinking, “Well, one engine is all I need if it’s powerful enough”; but in the case of the Telluride, you’ll probably be left wanting. It maxes out at 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, leaving you with a towing capacity of just 5,500 pounds.
Even the standard Chevy Tahoe engine beats that, with an output of 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. That’s just the start. The available 6.2L engine puts out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, which will help you easily tow along your boat or family camper.
Of course, one of the main benefits of having a full-size SUV is the spacious interior. While both the Chevy Tahoe and the Kia Telluride offer room for up to eight passengers, you may notice some interior differences.
For starters, the Kia Telluride is noticeably smaller than the Tahoe in multiple ways. All three rows of passengers will experience more shoulder room and hip room, and your third-row passengers in particular will thank you for the extra space:
|
|
Chevy Tahoe
|
Kia Telluride
|
|---|---|---|
| Third-Row Headroom | 38.2 in. | 38.1 in. |
| Third-Row Legroom | 34.9 in. | 31.4 in. |
| Third-Row Shoulder Room | 61.7 in. | 55.3 in. |
Plus, with standard tri-zone climate control, all passengers will be able to get more comfortable in the Tahoe. The Kia Telluride only offers a dual-zone system. .
These SUVs offer more than just passenger space and comfort. They also offer easily configurable interiors that can be adjusted to fit your needs. For instance, the standard 25.5 cubic feet of cargo space in the Tahoe can be extended to 122.9 cubic feet when you fold down the second and third rows.
You’ll have to cut back on some of your packing for the Kia Telluride, though, which offers a maximum capacity of 87 cubic feet and a standard 21 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the third row.
You probably already have some of your future adventures planned out. Whether you’ll be taking the kids on a camping trip or helping friends bring home their next piece of furniture, you can count on the high-tech features of these SUVs to assist.
To start, the Chevy Tahoe and the Kia Telluride actually come with similar offerings. Both models have a 4.2-inch instrument cluster, 6-speaker audio systems, and Wi-Fi hotspots.
However, things may be more convenient with the Tahoe, as it offers wireless connectivity with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The Kia Telluride does offer these features, but they aren’t wireless.
You’ll also notice technology enhancing other aspects of your drive. The Tahoe comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, while the Telluride has safety features of its own. Both models offer standard:
- Forward Collision Alert
- Lake Keep Assist
- Lane Departure Warning
However, only the Tahoe offers an abundance of features related to your trailering abilities. With the available Advanced Trailering Package showing four different views and Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, you can tow with confidence.
If you’re looking to upgrade your ride around Plainfield, Indianapolis, and Avon, IN, it’s time to get behind the wheel of the Chevy Tahoe.
