2024 Kia Telluride Cargo Dimensions and Family Seating: What the Numbers Mean for Parker Families

Shopping for a three-row SUV in Parker, CO means thinking about more than horsepower — it means knowing whether a double stroller fits behind the third row, whether a week of ski gear clears when the seats fold, and how many car seats the second row will actually accommodate. This guide breaks down the 2024 Kia Telluride's measured cargo volumes and seating configurations so you can walk into Rocky Mountain Eurosport Parker with the right questions ready.

The 2024 Kia Telluride offers 21.0 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the third row, 46.0 cu. ft. behind the second row, and up to 87.0 cu. ft. with both rear rows folded. Seating is either seven or eight passengers depending on trim. Those numbers make it competitive for families hauling strollers, luggage, or Colorado sports gear — but the right configuration depends on which trim and seat layout you choose.

## 2024 Kia Telluride Cargo Space by Seat Configuration

What matters | Configuration | Cargo Volume (cu. ft.)

Behind 3rd row (all seats up) | All 7 or 8 seats occupied | 21.0 cu. ft.

Behind 2nd row (3rd row folded) | Third row folded flat | 46.0 cu. ft.

Maximum cargo (2nd and 3rd rows folded) | Only first row occupied | 87.0 cu. ft.

All volumes are SAE-measured figures from manufacturer and Edmunds specifications for the 2024 model year US market. Actual usable space depends on cargo shape and floor flatness when rows are folded; confirm on the specific stock unit.

## What the Cargo Numbers Mean in Practice

With 21.0 cu. ft. behind the third row when all seats are in use, the Telluride's rearmost cargo area is roughly the size of a compact crossover's total trunk. That's enough for a compact stroller, a few backpacks, or a weekend bag per passenger — but a full-size double stroller will likely require the third row to be folded or partially folded. Before visiting Rocky Mountain Eurosport Parker, measure your stroller's folded footprint and bring those dimensions to check against the actual floor opening on stock units RG475246, RG529407, or RG500289.

Folding the third row opens up 46.0 cu. ft. — more than doubling the all-seats-up figure. That's enough for checked-luggage-sized bags for a family of five, or a large cargo box plus gear for a ski trip up to the mountains from Parker. When both rear rows fold, the 87.0 cu. ft. maximum transforms the Telluride into a genuine hauler capable of moving furniture or large sporting equipment. Ask the dealer to demonstrate the fold-flat mechanism on the lot so you can confirm floor flatness and ease of operation.

## Seven vs. Eight Passengers: Choosing the Right Layout

The 2024 Telluride seats either seven or eight passengers depending on trim level. The LX and EX trims offer eight-passenger seating via a second-row bench, while most other trims — including higher trim levels — come with a seven-passenger configuration that typically uses captain's chairs in the second row. For families with multiple car seats, a second-row bench can be useful, but captain's chairs often make buckling children in rear-facing or forward-facing seats easier and provide a walk-through path to the third row.

When visiting Rocky Mountain Eurosport Parker, ask which second-row layout each AWD unit on the lot is equipped with. Bring your car seat and attempt an install in the second row before committing — the usable width of the bench or the spacing between captain's chairs varies and is worth confirming in person. If you regularly transport three child passengers, clarify whether the third-row width comfortably fits a booster seat alongside two adults, as third-row width is not captured by cargo volume figures alone.

## What to Check at Rocky Mountain Eurosport Parker

Use this checklist when you walk through a 2024 Telluride on the lot. Bring your stroller, car seat, and a tape measure if possible.

- Measure the cargo opening with your stroller folded: The 21.0 cu. ft. behind the third row is a volume figure, not a width or height figure. Bring your folded stroller and check whether it fits through the liftgate opening and lies flat on the cargo floor on the actual stock unit.

- Confirm second-row layout (bench vs. captain's chairs): Eight-passenger bench seating and seven-passenger captain's chairs affect car seat installation ease, third-row access, and overall family workflow. Ask the dealer to identify which configuration each unit carries before you test-sit.

- Test the third-row fold and floor flatness: The jump from 21.0 cu. ft. to 46.0 cu. ft. depends on the third row folding flat and level with the cargo floor. Operate the fold yourself to confirm the result is usable and that the mechanism is easy enough for your daily routine.

- Check cargo load floor height at the liftgate: Colorado families often load heavy coolers, ski bags, or dog crates. The distance from the ground to the cargo floor edge determines how easy heavy lifting will be; confirm this on the physical vehicle, especially if you plan to load without assistance.

- Verify drivetrain and trim on the window sticker: All three units in current AWD inventory carry the 3.8L V6. Confirm trim level on the Monroney sticker to know exactly which features and seating layout are included — trim determines standard vs. optional seven- or eight-passenger seating.
