Grand Kia - Does the 2025 Kia Telluride Have Enough Cargo Space for Weekend Getaways around Denver, CO?
Weekend escapes should feel simple, not like a packing puzzle. If you’re considering the 2025 Kia Telluride for mountain cabins, sports tournaments, or scenic drives, the cargo area and seat flexibility are engineered to make getaways smoother and less stressful. With up to 87 cu. ft. behind the first row, 46 cu. ft. behind the second row, and 21 cu. ft. behind the third row, this three-row SUV balances family seating with real-world cargo room for coolers, strollers, duffels, or skis.
Versatility is baked into the layout. One-touch sliding and folding 2nd-row seats make transitions fast, while 60/40 split-folding in the 3rd row helps you dial in the right mix of passengers and gear. The dual-level cargo floor further optimizes storage, and the available Smart Power Liftgate makes loading easier when your hands are full. If you choose 7-passenger seating with 2nd-row captain’s chairs, you’ll still enjoy an open aisle for loading and a comfortable ride for taller passengers thanks to class-leading 2nd-row legroom.
- Cargo volume highlights: 87/46/21 cu. ft. behind 1st/2nd/3rd rows to scale for solo trips or full family outings.
- Seating flexibility: 7- or 8-passenger configurations with one-touch 2nd-row access for quick cabin reconfigurations.

Beyond space, thoughtful technology helps trips feel less hectic. Available 12.3-in. Dual Panoramic Displays simplify navigation and entertainment, while the available 360° Surround View Monitor reduces stress when backing into tight trailhead spots. Quiet Mode helps when younger travelers fall asleep, and Driver Talk amplifies your voice through the rear speakers so you can be heard without raising your voice. Families who pack heavy will appreciate the available self-leveling rear suspension and Tow Mode, and if your getaways involve boats or campers, the X-Pro trim unlocks up to 5,500 lbs. of towing with heavy-duty engine cooling.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can the 2025 Telluride carry luggage for a family of five plus a stroller?
Yes. With 21 cu. ft. behind the 3rd row, there’s space for several carry-on bags and a compact stroller. Folding a portion of the 3rd row expands capacity while still keeping seats for five.
Is loading easier with captain’s chairs?
Many families prefer the 7-passenger setup because the center aisle remains open, making it easier to slide longer items inside while maintaining access to the 3rd row.
What features help when my hands are full?
The available Smart Power Liftgate can open automatically when it senses your smart key and can close when the key is no longer detected. The dual-level cargo floor also helps separate fragile items from heavier gear.
Will the Telluride fit skis or snowboards without a roof box?
Yes. Fold a section of the 3rd row and use the open aisle (with captain’s chairs) or fold a portion of the bench to accommodate longer items. Available high-utility roof rails support additional carriers when needed.
