The 2024 Kia EV9 & 2024 Kia Telluride Compared
What’s all the rage in the world of family-friendly vehicles? Space, space, and more space! Whether it’s in the passenger rows or in the rear cargo area, we’re going back to the “bigger is better” mentality where 3-row SUVs are taking back the spotlight. The Telluride has quickly made its way to being a top-rated choice full of family fun, but now the EV9 has entered the scene as an all-electric alternative.

New To The Lineup - The 2024 Kia EV9
If you’ve never heard of the Kia EV9 until today, don’t feel bad. This particular ride is brand new for the 2024 model year, but that’s not to say it’s not already making a grand first impression. After all, it’s currently one of the few 3-row all-electric SUVs on the market with the only other available choices being those from high-end luxury brands that are nearly unattainable for the average consumer.

The Reliable Family-Favorite - The 2024 Kia Telluride
If you’re not ready to go all-in on electric driving, or you’re waiting to have a better budget for it, the new 2024 Telluride is still a fun and reliable 3-row SUV for the entire family. There are a few upgrades for the latest model which keeps it on top as one of the most popular choices in its class. It’s more affordable with a starting price of $35,990 and it comes standard with a wide range of safety and driver-assist features.
How Does It Run? Like You Would Expect: Fantastically
Driving the new Telluride is like getting the rollercoaster experience without being lifted toward the bright blue sky. Its 3.8L V6 engine brings you 291 horsepower on an 8-speed transmission system. What does that mean for you? You’ll have an easier time navigating the roads without hearing the little ones complain about an overly bumpy ride!

Meet the 2024 Kia Telluride X-Line Model There’s much to love about the Telluride as-is, but it never hurts to treat yourself to a little more. The Telluride X-Line adds more excitement to your drives with sporty features like all-terrain tires, a raised suspension system, useful roof rails, and a self-leveling rear suspension system that’s tow-friendly. |
A Breakdown of the Differences And Similarities
In a nutshell, the new EV9 is basically the all-electric version of the Telluride. They both offer three rows of seating, over 20 cubic feet of trunk space, and loads of standard safety and driver-assist features. As you can imagine, the main difference between the two is in how you refuel/recharge each vehicle and their fuel ratings.
