2023 Kia Telluride vs. 2023 Kia Sorento

The Kia Telluride and GMC Acadia are two of the most popular large SUVs on the market right now. Both vehicles have their own sets of pros and cons, so choosing between them can be difficult. Here's a comparison of the 2023 Kia Telluride vs 2023 GMC Acadia to help you decide which one is right for you.

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The Acadia's exterior design is more traditional than the Telluride. It has a wider track, which makes it look more substantial. The front end features a chrome-accented grille flanked by LED headlights and LED foglights. The side profile of the Acadia is clean and sleek, especially in comparison to some SUVs on the market today. It has an upward sloping beltline, which gives it an elegant appearance when viewed from above. The rear end features wraparound taillights with a thin layer of trim around them that add to its overall upscale look

• Interior Design

The interior of the 2023 Telluride is a bit more subdued than you might expect from its exterior. The dash design is quite minimalist, with no secondary instrumentation in front of the driver. It does feature a digital instrument cluster that can be customized to show information relevant to the driver and passengers, such as navigation directions or radio presets. This dashboard gives off a decidedly futuristic vibe and should look good for years to come. Each seat has been designed for maximum comfort with plenty of headroom and legroom for all passengers, even those sitting in back seats that have been redesigned with extra space between them (more on this later).

The GMC Acadia's interior also features an array of advanced technology options, including voice activation through Apple CarPlay integration, autonomous lane assist steering (which helps reduce fatigue), blind spot monitoring alerts, adaptive cruise control plus traffic jam assist (helps keep speed constant while navigating stopped traffic) door locks with auto-unlock when approaching vehicle after exiting.

Technology & Safety

The Kia Telluride is packed with technology. It comes standard with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a head-up display. You'll also get things like wireless phone charging and Wi-Fi hotspot capability on the most tricked out models.

The Acadia isn't as tech savvy when it comes to its base model, but you can upgrade to the Premier trim that comes with an 8" touchscreen infotainment system that uses GMC's IntelliLink interface (which also includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto).

Safety is another important feature to consider when buying a new vehicle. The 2023 Kia Telluride has standard safety features such as lane keeping assist; automatic high beams; forward collision warning; adaptive cruise control; blind spot monitoring; rear cross traffic alert and more!

Performance

The 2023 Kia Telluride and 2023 GMC Acadia are both offered with one engine option. The 2023 Kia Telluride comes standard with a 3.8-liter V6 engine that produces 290 horsepower, while the 2020 GMC Acadia also has a 3.3-liter V6 engine, but it makes 285 horsepower instead of 290. Both vehicles come with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive as standard options or all-wheel drive as an optional feature in their respective trim levels.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a spacious and family-friendly SUV with a comfortable interior, the 2023 Kia Telluride is one of the best options out there. It has plenty of room for passengers, easy access to the third row, and lots of storage space. The vehicle also has great safety features that help protect everyone in the car.
