Measure smart
What to measure.
Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.
- 01The opening width and height of the trunk or liftgate, not just the total volume, since the opening is what an item has to pass through.
- 02The load-floor length behind the rear seats, then again with the seats folded.
- 03The height available under the roofline or parcel shelf, measured at the lowest point.
- 04Your item at its widest point, including feet, handles, and packaging.
Don't make these
Common mistakes.
Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.
- ⚠Trusting the cubic-foot figure and assuming a wide item will fit, when the opening is narrower than the item.
- ⚠Measuring the cargo floor but forgetting the roofline tapers toward the opening.
- ⚠Ignoring that a full-size spare, subwoofer, or hybrid battery eats into the quoted volume.
- ⚠Folding only one seat when the long item needs the full flat load floor.
Frequently asked
Questions we keep getting.
How much cargo space does a Kia Telluride have?
21 cu ft behind the 3rd row, 46 cu ft with 3rd row folded, and 87 cu ft max with all seats folded. Cargo floor extends to about 76" with both rear rows down.
01Can I fit a 75" TV in a Telluride?
Yes — a boxed 75" TV (~72" × 44" × 10") fits flat with all seats folded. The 76" × 48" cargo area has enough length and width, and the 32" cargo height gives vertical headroom.
02Telluride vs. Palisade cargo?
Nearly identical — both built on the same Hyundai-Kia platform. Telluride edges Palisade with 87 vs. 86.4 cu ft max (rounding). Choose on styling, interior trim, and dealer experience.
