The 2027 Kia Telluride is a fully redesigned second-generation SUV featuring a first-ever hybrid powertrain. Kia skipped the 2026 Telluride model year entirely so the brand could deliver a complete redesign rather than release an outdated placeholder that would be quickly overshadowed by the new generation. Pricing on the 2027 Kia Telluride starts around $40,000 for the LX and reaches close to $60,000 for the top-tier X-Pro SX Prestige. For 2026, Kia made the bold decision to skip an entire model year, and the reason is standing in dealership showrooms right now: the fully redesigned 2027 Kia Telluride. This is not a refresh. It's a complete second-generation overhaul, and it shows in every detail from the powertrain to the cabin materials to the tech stack. Kia's choice to bypass a 2026 Telluride model stemmed from a desire to deliver a comprehensive redesign rather than incremental updates. Rather than putting a lightly refreshed 2026 Telluride on the lot only for buyers to see a completely new version arrive months later, Kia chose to simply leap forward and let the new Kia Telluride generation speak for itself. 2027 Kia Telluride Overview The redesigned 2027 Kia Telluride is a three-row SUV with a bigger, boxier body that can comfortably fit six adults. It is slightly longer and taller than its predecessor, giving it a more substantial presence on the road. The 2027 Telluride features sharper body lines, updated lighting, and even grille components. Many are comparing the 2027 Telluride to a Range Rover due to its similar aesthetics.. Ten trim levels are available across the 2027 Kia Telluride gas and hybrid lineups, giving buyers more options than ever before. Turbocharged Performance Every 2027 Kia Telluride comes standard with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. That torque figure represents nearly 50 lb-ft more than the previous-generation V6. This means the 2027 Kia Telluride pulls harder out of the gate even though the headline horsepower number is modestly lower. For buyers who want more, the 2027 Kia Telluride is now available with a first-ever hybrid powertrain. The hybrid variant features a turbocharged engine paired with electric motors for a total output of 329 horsepower, with the turbo hybrid delivering an additional 77 lb-ft more torque over the previous-generation. Front-wheel drive is standard on most trims, with all-wheel drive available as an option, and standard on SX Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro trims. Towing capacity reaches up to 5,000 pounds on properly equipped gas models. Fuel Economy The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid in front-wheel-drive EX trim achieves an EPA-estimated 34 miles per gallon in the city and 36 miles per gallon on the highway, for a combined rating of 35 mpg. That efficiency translates to a total driving range of up to 637 miles on the EX FWD trim. That's a 13-mpg improvement compared to the previous V6 version. The standard turbocharged gas model is less efficient than the hybrid but still represents a meaningful step forward from the outgoing V6 in everyday driving conditions. If fuel savings are a priority for your family, the 2027 Kia Telluride hybrid is worth the additional investment. 0-60 MPH The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 6.6 seconds, quicker than the non-hybrid model's 7.4 seconds. However, the hybrid's dual electric motors contribute instant torque that makes the vehicle feel responsive and confident from a stop. An Expansive Yet Intimate Interior The cabin of the 2027 Kia Telluride is designed to feel both expansive and intimate. Available upholstery combinations vary depending on the chosen trim. Bold dual-tone schemes like Deep Navy with Tuscan Umber are available as well as more rugged tones like Butter Brown and Black. Wood-based textures add warmth, and hidden door handles tucked into the armrests blend function into form. A grip handle on the front center console pays homage to a signature element from the first-generation Kia Telluride. Seating is flexible for seven or eight passengers depending on the trim. Available features include heated and ventilated front seats, power-adjustable driver and passenger seats. Premium seat materials range from perforated cloth and SynTex combinations to SynTex suede configurations. Higher trims add memory settings for the driver seat, mirrors, audio, and HVAC systems. SX Prestige models step up to a head-up display, parking automation, ergo motion seats with power bolsters, and simulated wood interior accents.

This system spans more than half of the dash and is available with dual 12.3-inch panoramic digital displays. The ccNC system features over-the-air update capability, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across all trims. Kia's generative AI voice assistant allows for more natural conversation, including the ability to ask for suggestions, and can be activated simply by speaking. Dual wireless charging pads between the front seats are standard equipment and are rubberized to keep phones in place. An available 12-inch head-up display and a 29.6-inch combined instrument panel and infotainment display round out the tech experience. Extensive Safety Suite Every 2027 Kia Telluride comes standard with an extensive suite of driver assistance systems. Kia offers 29 available driver assistance and collision avoidance features across the lineup. Structurally, the SUV includes a rigid body and up to 10 airbags, including a new front-center airbag, to enhance crash protection. The X-Pro trims also gain a Ground View Monitor that uses cameras to show what's directly beneath the vehicle, a helpful feature for off-road navigation. Kia's Highway Driving Assist 2.0 system, available on higher trims, provides hands-on highway assistance with lane centering and adaptive cruise that earned strong marks from reviewers during early drive events. 2027 Kia Telluride Available Safety Features: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Junction Crossing / Turning Detection Evasion Assist Rear Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist Highway Driving Assist Intelligent Speed Limit Assist Blind-Spot Detection Warning Lane Keeping Assist Driver Attention Warning Smart Cruise Control Blind-Spot View Monitor Surround-View Camera Parking Distance Warning 10-Airbag System Safe Exit Assist Rear Occupant Alert Enhanced Auto Emergency Braking 360 Surround View Monitor Head-Up Display Full Display Digital Rearview Mirror Front, Rear, & Side Parking Sensors Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist Lane-Following Assist 2 High Beam Assist Steering Assist LED Fog Lights Auto Headlight Control Puddle Lights & Door Spot Light Rearview Monitor w/ Integrated Camera Washer 2027 Kia Telluride Price The 2027 Kia Telluride price starts around $40,000 for the base LX trim.
