2020 Kia Telluride vs. 2020 Acura MDX
June 04 2020, Centennial Kia
If you are looking for a luxury SUV, you have several options at your disposal. There are the usual brands that top the list like Infiniti, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Acura, but other models also stand out in terms of value and above all, refinement. The perfect example is the all-new 2020 Kia Telluride, a brand-new SUV introduced to the market this year which is a game changer in the three-row mid-size sport utility vehicle segment.
Kia has always been recognized as a manufacturer that offers more to its owners and has already succeeded in designing very luxurious vehicles in the past like the Kia Cadenza or the Kia K900. The Kia Telluride follows in the same line as these two large sedans, but it takes an approach much more suited to the needs of SUV buyers and Canadian consumers in general.
This level of luxury allows the 2020 Kia Telluride to face a different competition which includes the Acura MDX. It is true that we do not expect to see Kia and Acura in the same comparison, but in the case of Telluride it has all the tools necessary to face the MDX. Let's take a closer look with three reasons to buy a 2020 Kia Telluride.
It Is More Spacious
Both the Acura MDX and the 2020 Kia Telluride offer three rows of seats. That said, the Telluride offers more than 600 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats when the three rows are in place while the MDX offers less than 450 litres. At all levels the Telluride is more versatile than the MDX.
It Is More Modern
The 2020 Kia Telluride was introduced to the market this year and offers all of the most modern technology one would expect from a luxury mid-size SUV. The Acura MDX is also well equipped, but it is older than the Telluride and it shows when it comes to interior design and overall technology.
It Is More Affordable
Despite having the same luxury amenities as the MDX and even more so in some areas, a more modern design and better interior space, the Kia Telluride costs around $10,000 less than the Acura MDX. In other words, you can get an SUV that's perfectly suited to your needs while saving enough to take a vacation in Europe with the whole family.
