Just want to clarify - Telluride SX comes with captains chairs, no bench option right? Unless Canada is different...Hi EVeryone,
ORdered a pilot touring even before prices released in the fall - expecting delivery in a few weeks.
the demo models arrived in Ontario this week - first drive was today. (ELITE US model equivalent - touring in canada)
Very sad to learn today - that the 2nd row seats can't slide all the way forward without being folded!
so if two child safety seats are installed you can't access the third row without taking out 2nd row middle seat - massive inconvenience.
SHocking.
Does anyone if its possible? i tried but couldn't find any latches to make it happen. If you press anyone of the easy slide button then it easily folds and slides ALL the way forward. the under latch only lets you slide it forward maybe 4 inches - not all the way to touch the back of the front seats.
the Subaru ascent has huge door opening so when you slide seat forward - easy to access third row without folding leaving car seat in place.
Similar story in the kia telluride SX with the bench seat.
Interesting - did you look at the Ascent also? I'm also not sure how often we'll need a 3rd row, but we've never had a 3 row SUV so may as well get one now and regret it later I guess lolhi Yes canada different. the telluride SX has bench in canada, and is quite loaded ( doenst have HUD, digitial rear view mirror or heated 2nd row seats) but has ventilated front seats, 360 cam etc.
I Agree no club1. - in canada the touring we orderd is 72000 CAD! all in - a massive amount of money. we like the bench set up for many reasons with 2 kids, and to have remove the middle seat to access the 3rd row is a no go - as my wife cant do that easily on her own in a few min - what is the trunk is full?
With 2 kids we have settled now on the subaru outback! its 20k cheaper in canada, and has a better AWD system than the telluride ,lower gas usage, better insurance.
UNless we are accessing the third row on a weekly basis, we aren't doing it at the moment. We may consider the new grand highlander in a few years or the redesigned toyota 4runner - if it has a small 3rd row for short trips around town!
