What’s New for the 2027 Kia Telluride?

The Telluride has always been known for balancing comfort, performance, and value. For 2027, Kia focused on refining every aspect of the ownership experience.

The result is an SUV that feels more modern, more efficient, and more capable while maintaining the spacious interior and premium feel drivers have come to expect.

Some of the biggest updates include:

  • An all-new 2.5-liter turbocharged engine
  • The first-ever Telluride Hybrid
  • Improved fuel economy
  • Updated exterior styling
  • Advanced driver-assistance technologies
  • Enhanced infotainment and connectivity
  • Available X-Line and X-Pro off-road-focused trims
  • Seating for up to eight passengers
  • Up to 89.3 cubic feet of cargo space

These updates help the Telluride remain one of the most competitive midsize SUVs on the market.

Powerful Performance Meets Everyday Efficiency

One of the biggest changes for 2027 happens under the hood.

The previous V6 has been replaced by a new 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces:

  • 274 horsepower
  • 311 lb-ft of torque

That extra torque helps the Telluride feel responsive around town and confident when merging onto the highway. Whether you’re navigating downtown Minneapolis traffic or passing slower vehicles on I-94, the Telluride delivers smooth and capable performance.

Introducing the First-Ever Telluride Hybrid

For drivers looking to maximize efficiency without sacrificing capability, the 2027 Telluride Hybrid is one of the most exciting additions to the lineup.

The hybrid powertrain delivers:

  • 329 combined horsepower
  • Up to an EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined
  • Smooth acceleration
  • Improved fuel efficiency for daily commuting and road trips

For Minnesota families who spend plenty of time on the road, that added efficiency can make a significant difference throughout the year.

Built for Minnesota Roads and Weather

Living in Minnesota means your vehicle needs to be ready for just about anything.

One day you’re driving through a snowstorm. The next you’re heading north for a summer weekend on the lake.

Fortunately, the Telluride was designed with versatility in mind.

Available all-wheel drive helps provide confidence during winter driving conditions, while Terrain Mode allows the SUV to adapt to changing road surfaces.

Drivers who enjoy exploring beyond paved roads will appreciate the available X-Line and X-Pro trims, which offer:

  • Increased ground clearance
  • Enhanced AWD capability
  • All-terrain tires
  • Improved approach and departure angles
  • Up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity

Whether you’re towing a small boat, hauling a trailer, or simply navigating a snowy parking lot, the Telluride is ready for the challenge.

More Room for Passengers, Gear, and Life

One of the reasons families continue choosing the Telluride year after year is simple: space.

The 2027 Telluride offers seating for up to eight passengers while providing plenty of room for cargo.

Cargo Space

Behind the third row:

  • 22.3 cubic feet of cargo space

With the second and third rows folded:

  • Up to 89.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity

That means there’s room for:

  • Hockey bags
  • Camping equipment
  • Groceries
  • Strollers
  • Luggage
  • Home improvement supplies

Whatever your weekend looks like, the Telluride is designed to handle it.

Comfortable Seating for Everyone

Unlike some three-row SUVs that leave third-row passengers feeling cramped, the Telluride prioritizes comfort throughout the cabin.

Available features include:

  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated second-row seats
  • Premium leather upholstery
  • Power-folding seats
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Available captain’s chairs

Whether you’re driving across town or across the state, every passenger gets to ride comfortably.

Technology That Makes Every Drive Easier

Modern technology should make life simpler, not more complicated.

That’s exactly what Kia has accomplished inside the 2027 Telluride.

The cabin features available dual 12.3-inch displays that combine for nearly 30 inches of digital screen space.

Drivers can enjoy:

  • Wireless Apple CarPlay
  • Wireless Android Auto
  • Navigation
  • Voice controls
  • Multiple USB-C charging ports
  • Available dual wireless phone charging
  • Available Meridian premium audio system

Everything feels intuitive and easy to use, helping drivers stay connected without unnecessary distractions.

Advanced Safety Comes Standard

When you’re transporting the people who matter most, peace of mind matters.

That’s why the 2027 Telluride comes equipped with an impressive suite of safety technologies.

Available features include:

  • Forward Collision Avoidance Assist
  • Blind Spot Collision Warning
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist
  • Lane Keeping Assist
  • Highway Driving Assist
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Surround View Monitor

These systems work together to help drivers stay aware of their surroundings and feel more confident behind the wheel.
