2023 Ford Explorer

vs 2023 Kia Telluride in Alpharetta, GA

 

The world is yours to conquer when you’re behind the wheel of the new 2023 Ford Explorer. No matter what your day holds, you’ll be up for the challenge with this SUV at your command. It’s capable enough to handle towing and off-roading with ease, especially when equipped with the available 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine. And while it’s rugged, it’s still comfortable, with a  roomy, inviting cabin full of convenient features and premium materials. With the second- and third-row seats up, you’ll have room for family, friends and all your gear — and when you need maximum cargo capacity, the second and third rows fold to reveal 87.8 cubic feet of open space. Once everyone and everything is loaded in, you can look forward to a fun journey in your Ford Explorer. Available multi-color ambient lighting will set the mood, and the available twin-panel moonroof will provide a gorgeous view of the sky above. This versatile SUV offers everything you need to travel in comfort and style, so there’s no reason to wait — upgrade to the new 2023 Ford Explorer today.

While the all-new 2023 Kia Telluride has some appealing features, it simply isn’t as impressive as the new 2023 Ford Explorer. If you’re looking for an SUV that packs serious power, the Ford Explorer has a higher maximum towing capacity and higher maximum available horsepower than the Kia Telluride. Want an SUV that goes easy on the environment? Pick the Ford Explorer, as it can be equipped with an available 3.3-liter V6 hybrid engine. In contrast, the Kia Telluride doesn’t offer a hybrid engine at all. When it comes to convenience, the Ford Explorer continues to impress, offering a standard power liftgate and available power-folding third-row seats. The Kia Telluride only offers a power liftgate on its higher (and more expensive) trims, and its third-row seats can only be folded manually. 


Both of these models have available drive modes that allow you to customize your vehicle’s performance to fit the road and weather conditions — but the Ford Explorer includes more options as part of its standard Terrain Management System™ (such as Deep Snow/Sand mode on its 4WD models and Slippery mode on all trims). Finally, both SUVs have impressive available sound systems, but if you’re looking for the ultimate audio experience, choose the Ford Explorer. Its available B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® comes with 14 speakers and a subwoofer — which means car karaoke is guaranteed to be a blast.


With impressive standard and available features, power and performance, the new 2023 Ford Explorer claims the victory in this match-up. Take it for a test drive at our dealership today and you’ll see firsthand why we love this model.
