Kia Telluride interior and third row: what Lubbock families get
Lubbock families weighing a three-row SUV usually ask two things: will the third row hold our kids, and can we sit in it before we commit? The Kia Telluride answers the first question on paper, and Group 1 Kia Hub City on 19th Street is where a family answers both in person. We are the only Kia franchise in Lubbock, so the Telluride decision, from the first sit-in to the purchase and the service visits after, happens in one place.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Lubbock. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
Does the Kia Telluride have enough interior room for a Lubbock family?
Yes. The Telluride is a three-row family SUV, and Group 1 Kia Hub City sells it new in Lubbock, along with the Telluride Hybrid. The maker’s 2027 figures show the room: 41.4 inches of legroom in row one, 43.0 inches in row two, and 32.1 inches in row three. A family can sit in the rows at our 19th Street store before it buys.
Seating is the other half of the room question. The maker lists eight seats on the 2027 Telluride EX and LX and seven on the other trims. That split decides whether a family of seven or eight can ride together, so check the trim before you check the price.
Who actually fits in the Kia Telluride’s third row?
Row three suits kids best, and teens or adults fit on shorter trips. At 32.1 inches of legroom, it is the tightest of the three rows, so measure your tallest rider against it first. The easiest check is to sit there. Our store is at 6006 19th St, Lubbock, TX 79407, and a family can bring its tallest rider to test row three before deciding.
How do kids get into the Telluride’s third row with car seats installed?
The climb into row three runs through row two, and the trim sets how many seats that route serves. The maker lists eight seats on the 2027 Telluride EX and LX and seven on the S, SX, X-Line, and X-Pro trims. A family that plans to install car seats should bring them to our store and test the climb with the seats in place, not with an empty seat.
How much cargo space does the Telluride have behind each row?
The maker’s 2027 figures give a volume for each row setting: 89.3 cubic feet behind row one, 48.7 behind row two, and 22.3 behind row three. With the third row in use, the cargo area is 22.3 cubic feet, which is the number a family with gear most days should weigh. Consumer Reports sets its bar for a three-row SUV at 46 cubic feet or more of usable cargo room to qualify for its “most cargo room” rankings (Consumer Reports, 2026). The maker’s 48.7 cubic feet behind row two is the figure to set against that bar.
Which Telluride seating setup suits a Lubbock family best?
The seating choice comes down to how many people ride most weeks. The 2027 Telluride EX starts at $43,790 with eight seats, and the LX starts at $39,190 with eight. The S starts at $42,090 with seven seats, and the range tops out at the X-Pro SX Prestige at $56,790, also seven seats. Choose eight seats when the family carries eight regularly, and choose a seven-seat trim when the price and the trim features matter more than the eighth seat. We sell both the Telluride and the Telluride Hybrid, so the choice can be made on the lot.
What family features does the Kia Telluride’s cabin offer?
The Telluride EX’s equipment listing includes ventilated and power front seats. Lubbock’s normal July high is 93.4 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, 1991 to 2020 U.S. Climate Normals. A family that drives through that heat should check the front-seat comfort first. Ask our team to show you the ventilated and power front seats in person, and check the trim before you assume a feature comes with it.
