2023 Kia Telluride Reviews Summary Kia can barely keep up with demand for the Telluride, and its dealers and customers have told the company not to change a single thing, so you’d think it unnecessary for the automaker to invest a single penny upgrading the popular three-row crossover SUV. Kia would disagree. This year, the 2023 Telluride gets minor styling changes, new technologies, and some off-roading attitude in the form of new X-Line and X-Pro trim levels. We headed to San Antonio, Texas, which has somehow become the seventh most populous city in the U.S., to sample the Telluride’s new kit. And we remain impressed with this excellent family-size sport-ute. Search for a Kia Telluride on CarGurus
2023 Toyota Sienna Reviews Summary For many shoppers, minivans represent a true love-hate relationship. Although their convenience and cargo space is unmatched, many moms and dads recoil at the social stigma they perceive. In today’s market of increasingly rugged crossovers and SUVs, minivans like the Toyota Sienna just aren’t considered cool. But maybe they should be; compared with your typical three-row crossover, the Sienna is a blessing for parents on the go.

Look and feel

2023 Kia Telluride

9/10

2023 Toyota Sienna

9/10

The 2023 Kia Telluride has become a highly sought-after three-row crossover SUV, so much so that Kia's dealers and customers have implored the company not to change a thing. Despite this, Kia has introduced minor styling updates, new technologies, and the new off-roading X-Line and X-Pro trim levels to the 2023 Telluride, enhancing its appeal without compromising on the beloved core attributes that have made it a family favorite. The 2023 Toyota Sienna, on the other hand, continues to challenge the stigma associated with minivans by offering unmatched convenience, cargo space, and family-oriented features. Its design and functionality cater to parents on the go, making a strong case for the practicality and appeal of modern minivans in a market dominated by SUVs and crossovers.

Performance

2023 Kia Telluride

9/10

2023 Toyota Sienna

7/10

The Telluride's performance is rated at 9 out of 10, thanks to its 291-horsepower V6 engine, versatile driving modes, and capable AWD system, offering a balance between efficiency and off-road readiness. The X-Pro model, in particular, shines with its enhanced towing capacity and off-road features, providing a smooth and quiet ride under various conditions. In contrast, the Sienna, with a performance rating of 7 out of 10, relies on a hybrid powertrain delivering 245 net system horsepower. While it may lack the raw power of some competitors, its nimble chassis and steering make it a surprisingly enjoyable drive for a minivan, emphasizing fuel efficiency and urban maneuverability over raw acceleration.

Form and function

6/10

The Kia Telluride impresses with a form and function rating of 9 out of 10, offering seating configurations for either seven or eight passengers depending on the second-row setup. The premium Nappa leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, and heated and ventilated front- and second-row captain’s chairs in the SX Prestige trim contribute to a luxurious and comfortable interior. The Telluride is designed with ample interior space, featuring a power lumbar stabilization system to enhance driver comfort on long journeys. With manual side-window sunshades, USB ports, and storage pockets, the second row ensures passenger comfort and convenience. The Telluride also boasts a “smart” power tailgate and generous cargo capacity, with 21 cubic feet behind the third row, 46 cubic feet with the third row folded, and a maximum of 87 cubic feet with both rear rows down, making it a versatile option for both daily use and adventures. The Toyota Sienna, rated 6 out of 10 for form and function, capitalizes on the minivan's inherent advantages to deliver exceptional utility and comfort. The Sienna's interior is a haven of storage solutions, including a large under-console cubby and a dashboard-long shelf for personal items. Despite its length of over 200 inches and a wheelbase of 120.5 inches, the Sienna offers substantial cargo space, with 33.5 cubic feet behind the third row and up to 101 cubic feet with the second and third rows adjusted or removed. This design efficiently utilizes space, providing ample room for passengers and cargo alike. The second-row captain's chairs, with their extending ottomans and sliding capabilities, further enhance the Sienna's appeal by offering versatile seating arrangements and comfort for all passengers, making it a smart choice for families prioritizing space and functionality.

Technology

Technology in the Telluride scores a 9 out of 10, with its new standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, comprehensive connectivity options, and innovative features like Driver Talk and Quiet Mode enhancing the driving experience. The Telluride's tech suite, including digital key technology and a full display mirror, positions it at the forefront of modern vehicle technology. The Sienna's technology, rated at 7 out of 10, relies on an older infotainment system but still offers essential features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 9-inch touchscreen. While functional, the Sienna's technology feels dated compared to the Telluride, though it remains reliable and user-friendly.
