The redesigned 2027 Kia Telluride earned a spot on Newsweek's list of "Best New SUVs" in its 2026 Readers' Choice Awards. Kia's flagship three-row SUV delivers a larger, more upscale interior alongside its first-ever hybrid option. Combined with striking new aesthetic updates, the second-generation Telluride is more compelling than ever.

New Powertrains

Kia swapped out the previous generation's V6 engine for a fresh 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that pushes out 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. Drivers looking for extra efficiency can opt for the all-new turbo-hybrid setup, which generates 329 horsepower and achieves up to an EPA-estimated 35 mpg combined.

The Telluride is built to handle your everyday adventures. A robust 5,000-pound towing capacity makes pulling trailers and recreational gear effortless, while available all-wheel drive with Terrain Mode gives you extra confidence off the beaten path. For even greater capability, the rugged X-Pro trim boasts an impressive 9.1 inches of ground clearance.

Flexible Interior

Seating up to eight passengers comfortably, the all-new Telluride offers ample legroom across all three rows alongside a versatile cargo space designed for maximum everyday utility. A standard 12.3-inch touchscreen includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, while available luxury upgrades include ventilated first- and second-row seats, a Meridian premium sound system, and a head-up display.

Advanced Safety Features

Drive with complete peace of mind thanks to the Telluride's comprehensive suite of safety technologies. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist can automatically apply the brakes when obstacles suddenly appear, while Blind-Spot Collision Warning keeps an eye on surrounding traffic. Other standard features include Lane Keeping Assist, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control, and Safe Exit Assist.

Bold Exterior Styling

Standing out in its class, the 2027 Kia Telluride features a confident, boxy silhouette that commands attention on the road. With 10 distinct trim levels to choose from and striking paint options like Panthera Metal and Black Jade Green, finding a style that fits your aesthetic is effortless.
