2027 Kia Telluride: The New Standard for Three-Row SUVs
Read our model overview to learn more about the new 2027 Kia Telluride, including advanced technology features, beautiful design, and adaptive performance.
The 2027 Kia Telluride is here, and it’s raising the bar once again in the competitive three-row SUV segment. Since its debut, the Telluride has consistently been one of the most awarded and sought-after SUVs in America. With the fully redesigned second generation, Kia has added more power, better fuel efficiency, cutting-edge technology, and improved capability—making it one of the most compelling family SUVs on the market.
If you’re comparing SUVs like the Toyota Grand Highlander, Honda Pilot, or Hyundai Palisade, the new Telluride delivers a powerful combination of performance, luxury, technology, and value.
A Bold New Design That Stands Out
The 2027 Telluride introduces a more rugged and modern look inspired by Kia’s latest design language. Its bold stance, vertical lighting, and sculpted body lines give it a commanding presence on the road.
Key exterior updates include:
- Star Map LED daytime running lights
- Vertical LED taillights
- Updated grille design
- New wheel designs up to 20 inches
- More aerodynamic roof spoiler
The result is a more refined yet rugged appearance that helps the Telluride stand apart in a crowded SUV market.
New Powertrain Options: Turbo Performance and Hybrid Efficiency
One of the biggest upgrades for the 2027 model is the new engine lineup, giving buyers more choices than ever before.
- Standard Turbocharged Engine
- 2.5-liter turbocharged engine
- 274 horsepower
- 311 lb-ft of torque
- 8-speed automatic transmission
- First-Ever Telluride Hybrid
- 329 horsepower
- 339 lb-ft of torque
- Up to 35 MPG combined
- Estimated driving range of 600 miles
This hybrid system gives the Telluride one of the best combinations of power and fuel efficiency in the segment, competing directly with hybrid options from Toyota while offering stronger performance.

Highlights include:
- Redesigned “Grandioso” interior design

Thanks to its longer wheelbase and improved layout, the Telluride offers excellent passenger comfort in all three rows, making it a great option for families who regularly travel with multiple passengers.

Available capability features include:
- Advanced all-wheel drive system
- Electronic limited-slip differential

These features make the Telluride one of the most capable SUVs in its class for road trips, camping, or exploring off the beaten path.
