Kia with 3 Row Seats Near Santa Fe NM Beat the Competition: Telluride vs Sorento

If you need an SUV with lots of room, Fiesta Kia has the Kia with 3 row seats near Santa Fe NM that you need. Stop by when our showroom is open again or visit us online to find what you've been searching for! 

Kia Telluride

The Kia Telluride is a brand-new model for 2020. Along with three rows of seating that fits eight people on synthetic leather upholstery, this SUV has an attractive cabin, a smooth ride, and a profusion of safety features. The S and SX trims swap out the second-row bench seat for captain's chairs, reducing occupancy to seven. Power-sliding-and-folding second-row seats come standard too. Other seating upgrades include genuine leather and premium leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, heated and ventilated first- and second-row seats, second-row sunshades, and a heated steering wheel.

Getting comfortable in the first two rows is easy, thanks partly to the roomy and well-padded seats. The third row is a better fit for smaller riders, which will suit the kids fine. There are two complete sets of LATCH car-seat connectors for the Telluride's second-row outboard seats and another full set for the third-row seat on the driver's side. The middle seats of both rear rows feature a top tether anchor. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the system the second-highest rating of Acceptable for ease of use. 

The Telluride has a 3.8-liter V-6 that sends 291 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic. All-wheel drive is optional. A self-leveling rear air suspension is also optional. Plenty of driver assists are optional, including sensors that detect if children or pets are left behind in the back rows and a lockout feature for the rear doors in case a fast-moving object approaches too close.

A great Kia with 3 row seats near Santa Fe NM, the Telluride features Kia's UVO infotainment system, which includes an 8-inch touch screen, Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, a six-speaker sound system, Bluetooth, and six USB ports. A navigation system is available, as are a 10.25-inch touch screen, a head-up display, wireless phone charging, a 10-speaker Harman Kardon stereo, and another USB port. The touch screen presents crisp graphics and quick response times, and many drivers will appreciate Quiet Mode, which limits audio output to the front row, and Driver Talk, which projects the driver's voice through the rear speakers.

Kia offers the new Telluride in four trim levels: LX, S, EX, and SX. All models come with a V6 engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is a $2,000 option in every trim. LX and EX models seat eight people, while S and SX models come with second-row captain's chairs that seat seven.

Kia Sorento is an Impressive Kia with 3 Row Seats near Santa Fe NM

Another Kia with 3 row seats near Santa Fe NM, the 2020 Kia Sorento provides a relaxed ride, spacious seating in its first two rows, and a long warranty, but it has less cargo space than some of its rivals. It has room for seven, lots of user-friendly tech features, and high-end cabin materials that contradict its low starting price. The Sorento also returns good fuel economy with its standard four-cylinder engine, and it rates well for safety and predicted reliability. 

The Sorento's interior has good build quality with lots of soft-touch surfaces and comes standard with stain-resistant cloth upholstery that's perfect for families, with leather upholstery available. There are two complete sets of LATCH connectors for the second-row outboard seats, and an upper tether for the second-row middle seat. 

The base 185-horsepower 4-cylinder engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. You could also upgrade to the 290-horsepower V6 which is more powerful but has similar fuel economy ratings. The V6 is mated to a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Sorento's UVO infotainment system is excellent. The standard 7-inch touch screen features sharp graphics and quick menu responses, and logically arranged physical controls are integrated into the control panel.

Standard features include Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, six speakers, Bluetooth, and a USB port. Satellite radio, a 10-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, wireless device charging, navigation, and an 8-inch touch screen are available in this Kia with 3 row seats near Santa Fe NM. 

A rearview camera is the only advanced safety feature that comes standard in the Sorento, but many others are available. These include pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, a surround-view parking camera system, forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, and driver drowsiness monitoring. 

The 2020 Kia Sorento comes in five trims: L, LX, S, EX, and SX.
