2021 Kia Telluride vs 2021 Toyota Highlander


The front and side view of a silver 2021 Kia Telluride compared to a gray 2021 Toyota Highlander.

When it comes to families wanting a quality vehicle with both space and upscale look, few models on the market can stack up against the Kia Telluride. Since its inaugural model in 2019, the model has gained traction as one of the most well-rounded three-row midsize crossovers available.

The 2021 Kia Telluride – available now at Auffenberg Kia near Cape Girardeau, MO – offers style and capabilities for the true family. But when compared to other models, such as the 2021 Toyota Highlander, how does it stack up? We compare the two models below:

When it comes to seating capacity, the 2021 Kia Telluride provides ample space for 7-8 passengers. Meanwhile, the 2021 Toyota Highlander offers the space for the same amount, though it has a much smaller third row when comparing legroom amounts. Meanwhile, the Kia Telluride provides even more cargo space with up to five cubic feet of extra space. In terms of powertrains, both models offer slightly similar experiences. However, the base Kia Telluride offers similar performance in a more affordable package.
