How Many People Does the Telluride Seat?
The 2020 Telluride seats eight people on synthetic leather upholstery. The S and SX trims swap out the second-row bench seat for captain’s chairs, reducing occupancy to seven. Power-sliding-and-folding second-row seats come standard too. Other seating upgrades include genuine leather and premium leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, heated and ventilated first- and second-row seats, second-row sunshades, and a heated steering wheel.
Getting comfortable in the first two rows is easy, thanks in part to the roomy and well-padded seats. The third row is better left for smaller riders.
