Share this Post: SHARE ON FACEBOOK SHARE ON TWITTER

The 2023 Ford Explorer in Albuquerque NM might seem like the logical decision when searching for a new family transport vehicle. Still, its luster suddenly dulls when compared to the Kia Telluride. While transporting the family to and from is an essential task, remaining true to one’s identity should never be compromised. The Telluride provides the alternative to everyday driving with a multifunctional vehicle in the sense that it can carry the kids in one aspect and rock climbing gear in the other. With an appearance of adventure and an interior cab design for comfort, the Kia Telluride can perform on multiple levels where the Explorer seems to struggle. 

A More Appealing Appearance

The 2023 Ford Explorer in Albuquerque NM offers an exciting view from afar, but the abrupt lines and squatted top end present a shrinking look. Kia’s Telluride boasts a more balanced design with plenty of equal headroom. A monochromatic paint scheme offers body-colored door handles and side mirrors. An assortment of matte black trims highlights the vehicle around the windows, fenders, and bumpers. LED lighting increases safety and glorifies Telluride’s appearance with the best illumination. The Telluride presides over an impressive ground clearance thanks to stylish 18-inch alloy wheels with a unique design of their own. Reigning like a family’s crest, Kia has outfitted the Telluride with its unique and brand new emblem that sparks curiosity and excitement. If looks could kill, the Telluride would be responsible for an endless supply of victims.  

 

2023 Ford Explorer in Albuquerque NM: Engine Comparison

While Ford’s new Explorer offers abundant engine selections, the Telluride only needs one shot to win the title. Equipped with a 3.8-liter V6 engine, the Telluride offers its drivers a thrilling 291-horsepower. Kia, determined to make an intense impact, partners that power with a 5,000-pound towing capacity to yield a vehicle that can tow extracurricular toys with ease. If you are going to pack the family up into the vehicle, you might as well tow the family boat to the lake. 

Short on Numbers

The Ford Explorer has long-lived as a choice SUV. It, after all, was birthed from the Bronco’s design found in the 190s. Even with the nostalgia, it still falls short of the Kia Telluride when it comes to seating. While the Explorer’s seats are all comfortable and offer adequate support, the Telluride offers the same quality but in higher numbers. Although the Explorer seats seven, the Telluride makes accommodations for eight. When traveling in Kia’s all-new Telluride, no one feels like the third wheel. 

Comforting Climate

Many SUV manufacturers have sought to solve the issues of uncomfortable traveling. Anyone who has participated in a cross country family excursion can recall the back seat real estate starved of cool air dispensed from the vehicle’s air conditioning system. While the Explorer’s air conditioning blows noticeable cold, the Kia Telluride comes equipped with intuitive tri-zone technology and arrangement. Now all back seaters, whether second or third row, can enjoy the advancements of modern-day technology and enjoy a cool driving experience.
