Will the whole family fit, car seats and all? Bring everyone to our Topeka dealership, and try them all with us before you choose.
You need a seat for every child and room for their bags. We sell three Kias with a third row: the Telluride, the Sorento and the Carnival.
The second row sets the number of seats. In the Telluride, a bench seats eight and captain's chairs seat seven. In the Sorento, a bench seats seven and captain's chairs seat six. The Carnival seats up to eight. We will show you each layout so you can see which suits your children.

The Telluride is Kia's full-size SUV, and the Sorento puts a third row in a smaller SUV. The Carnival's sliding side doors make the school run easier.
A second-row bench gives you the most seats. Captain's chairs give two children a seat each.
The Telluride holds 22.3 cubic feet behind the third row. Bring your stroller or sports bags, and we will load them in with you.
If it is most days, we start with the Telluride. If it is now and then, the Sorento may suit you.
A bench seats eight. Two captain's chairs seat seven.
Behind the third row, a Telluride holds 22.3 cubic feet, a Sorento 12.6 and a Carnival 40.2. Bring the stroller and we will try it in each.
Let the ones who ride back there every week try it for themselves.
We will put your own bags behind the third row so you can see the space for yourself.

Can I bring the whole family?
Please bring them all, along with the gear that travels with them.
A few minutes with everyone in their seats shows you how the school run will feel.
Which three-row Kias do you sell?
We sell three: the Telluride, the Sorento and the Carnival.
The seating changes from car to car, even on the same model. Call us first, and the right one will be waiting when you arrive.
Can I try my own car seat in it?
Yes, bring the seat that is hardest to fit and try it here.
Twenty minutes here with your own seat shows you how it fits before you buy.
Can we try the third row before we choose?
Yes, and we will raise the third row for you on each car you look at.
Tell us which ones you want to try, and we will have them ready with the third rows up.
Can I choose the smaller one with no pressure?
Of course. Tell us about an ordinary week for your family, and we will point you to the size that fits it.
Take the time you need.
What do I bring?
Bring the whole family, their gear and the two documents we need.
The space behind the third row is where these three cars differ most, and your own bag shows you by how much.
Tell us who rides with you each week, and we will recommend the one that fits.
Contact us| Model | Seats | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Telluride | Up to eight | Kia's full-size SUV, built around three rows of seating. |
| Sorento | Six or seven | Three rows in a smaller body, with a bench or captain's chairs in the middle. |
| Carnival | Up to eight | Kia's three-row minivan, with sliding doors. |
All three have a third row, and you can see all three at our dealership.
The seat count depends on the second row, so we check it with you on each car.
| Second row | Seats |
|---|---|
| Bench seat | Eight seats (8-Passenger Seating with 2nd-row Bench Seat) |
| Captain's chairs | Seven seats (7-Passenger Seating with 2nd-row Captain's Chairs) |
It is the same Telluride either way. Only the second row changes.
Captain's chairs give two children a seat each and make the third row easier to reach. For a family of eight, the bench gives everyone a seat.
We will show you both layouts side by side when we have them in.
| Where your bags go | Space on a Telluride |
|---|---|
| Behind the third row, with every seat in use | 22.3 cubic feet |
| With both rear rows folded | 89.3 cubic feet |
With all seven seats in use, your bags go behind the third row. That is the space to compare between cars.
Bring the stroller, or the biggest case you own. We will put it behind the third row of the actual car with you.
| If this is you | Start with |
|---|---|
| Seven most days, luggage every day | Telluride, built around three rows, with 22.3 cubic feet behind the third row. |
| Seven some of the time, five normally | Sorento, with a third row in a smaller body. |
| Eight people | Telluride with the second-row bench, or a Carnival, both with seats for up to eight. |
Think about a normal week. If the third row stays folded most of the time, the smaller Sorento suits you.
If the third row is full most days, the Telluride gives everyone more room.
| What to check | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Count the Telluride's second row | Whether it seats eight on the bench or seven on captain's chairs. |
| Look at the Sorento's middle row | Three rows come standard, so it seats seven with the bench or six with captain's chairs. |
| Load your bags with the third row up | How your things fit in the 22.3 cubic feet behind a Telluride's third row, or the 12.6 behind a Sorento's. |
| Seat your third-row rider | How row three feels for the person who rides there, with the seat in front set where it usually is. |
Each check takes about a minute, and we do them together.
We will have the third row up and ready when you arrive.
| Living with it | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Where it parks overnight | The Telluride is the full-size one and the Sorento is the smaller one, so your parking space can help you choose. |
| Winter | A third row that is easy to reach gets seven people and their coats in quickly on a January morning. |
| The rest of the year | With the third row folded into the floor, you have a large trunk. |
We match the car to how many people ride with you most weeks. That can be the Telluride. It can also be a Sorento, its third row folded for a big trunk until the holidays bring everyone home.
Tell us who rides with you, and we will help you find the one that fits.
My wife and I had an amazing experience with Kia. They helped us find our dream family car. Everyone was super nice and helpful. So thank you Kaden and the rest of The Briggs Kia family for everything you have provided for our family!
