Comparison Review

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Kia Telluride as you will with the Toyota 4Runner, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Kia Telluride will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Toyota 4Runner.

Dimensions
The Kia Telluride is about the same width as the Toyota 4Runner. When looking at overall length, the Kia Telluride takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota 4Runner.

Handling
The Kia Telluride has the same turning radius as the Toyota 4Runner, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Toyota 4Runner is clearly the choice over the Kia Telluride for pulling heavy loads. The Kia Telluride has a little more horsepower than the Toyota 4Runner.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Kia Telluride doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Toyota 4Runner.
