Interior Comparison

The 2023 Toyota Highlander’s base trim can comfortably fit up to eight people. Higher trims come with second-row captain's seats and a seven-seat layout. If you want a family vehicle, the Highlander is perfect.

The cabin materials of the 2023 Highlander are superior to those in earlier generations. Naturally, higher trims have more luxurious features. The cargo area can hold up to four carry-on bags, making the vehicle ideal for your upcoming family vacation.

The Highlander's dashboard has a much simpler layout than the Telluride. This makes the Toyota SUV vehicle more user-friendly, especially for drivers who are not tech-savvy.

Another thing you will like about the Highlander's interior is its quietness. This is partly because of the noise-reducing front-side windows. The Telluride, on the other hand, has a noisy cabin. Road noise is present no matter what tire you use. This means that the Highlander is more suitable for long rides, especially if you or your passengers want to relax while on the road.

2023 Kia Telluride Interior

Performance Comparison

The Toyota Highlander is an ideal off-roading vehicle. It has 8 inches of ground clearance and an optional dynamic torque-control all-wheel-drive system. Higher ground clearance helps to reduce scratching underneath the car. It also provides a smooth ride on rocky and uneven routes.

The new X-Line and X-Pro trims of the Telluride are suitable for off-roading with their more rugged exterior. But neither should be regarded as genuine off-road vehicles. The increased ground clearance and all-terrain tires of these models improve capability. But they are better suited to gravel roads and thick snow. It will be challenging for the Telluride in mountainous terrain because it doesn't have proper low range and underbody protection.

Safety Features Comparison

The 2023 Toyota Highlander is a safe vehicle. It earned a five-star overall vehicle score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It means it receives top marks for crash protection and occupant safety.

This car has automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and blind-spot monitoring with a rear cross-traffic alert. It also has a lane-departure warning with a lane-keeping assist as a standard safety feature.

The Telluride also earned a perfect score from the NHTSA. This car has safety features like a forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking. Like the Highlander, it also has a lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and monitoring for blind spots.
