Power Meets Efficiency in the 2027 Kia Telluride
The next-generation three-row Telluride debuts with an available turbo-hybrid powertrain delivering 329 HP, an estimated 35 mpg combined, and a targeted driving range of 600 miles—plus increased X-Pro capability and stretch-out comfort.
Introducing the All-New 2027 Kia Telluride
Unveiled at the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show, the upcoming next-generation 2027 Telluride SUV builds on Kia's flagship three-row formula with a bold, composed design and the model's first-ever available hybrid powertrain.
Wrapped in a confident, modern shell that evokes the core Telluride design principles while embracing Kia's Opposites United design language, the 2027 model lays the groundwork for adventures in either 7- or 8-passenger seating configurations.
With greater overall length, more cargo space, and interior roominess along with an available turbo-hybrid delivering up to 329 horsepower and a Kia estimated 35 mpg combined, the second-generation Telluride brings innovative, customer-focused products to market.
Key Highlights
- Power meets efficiency: Available turbo-hybrid with 329 HP and rated at up to a Kia-estimated 35 mpg combined and a total Kia-estimated driving range of 600 miles.
- Standard turbocharged power: Nearly 50 lb-ft more torque than before with the new turbocharged engine.
- Comfortably rugged: Newly upgraded X-Pro adds all-terrain tires, advanced E-LSD system, multi-terrain AWD mode, new off-road vehicle status screen, and Ground View Monitor all riding on an elevated 9.1 inches of ground clearance.
- Larger dimensions: More second-row headroom, class-leading legroom, improved third-row seat access, and additional cargo space behind the third row.
- Stretch out: New available front relaxation seats with leg rests and a driver massage function, plus new power-operated and available climate-controlled second-row captain's chairs.
Design & Comfort
Exterior
The 2027 Telluride takes the SUV's confident stance and sharpens it with stronger shoulders, bold lighting signatures, and a more assertive grille. Newly upgraded X-Pro models feature all-terrain tires, elevated ride height, and off-road-focused hardware so you can head from city streets to mountain trails with confidence.
Interior
Inside, Telluride's cabin focuses on quiet comfort and clever functionality. Available front relaxation seats with leg rests and a driver massage function help take the stress out of longer drives, while new power-operated and available climate-controlled second-row captain's chairs give rear passengers a first-class feel.
Improved third-row access, more second-row headroom, and class-leading legroom mean every seat is a good seat, whether you choose a 7-passenger layout with captain's chairs or an 8-passenger configuration with a second-row bench.
