2027 Kia Telluride

Explore the All-New Kia Telluride at Peltier Kia Longview

Kia's flagship SUV just went through the biggest change of its life, and it's not a subtle one. The second-generation Telluride drops the familiar V6 for a turbocharged four-cylinder, grows in nearly every dimension, and adds a hybrid option for the first time. Peltier Kia Longview is bringing in the redesigned Telluride for East Texas families who've trusted this three-row SUV for years and want to see exactly what's changed.

The V6 Is Gone, Replaced by a Turbocharged Four-Cylinder

The standard Telluride now runs a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, a genuine departure from the naturally aspirated V6 that powered every first-generation Telluride. Torque climbs by nearly 50 lb-ft over the old engine, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. Properly equipped, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

Seven Trims, From LX to the Off-Road-Ready X-Pro

The gas-powered Telluride is offered in LX, S, EX, SX, SX-Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro trims, giving shoppers a genuinely wide spread between value-focused and fully loaded configurations. The X-Pro sits at the top of the capability ladder, built for rugged excursions without giving up the comfort that makes the Telluride such a dependable family vehicle the rest of the year.

X-Pro's New Electronic Limited-Slip Differential and 9.1 Inches of Clearance

The newly upgraded X-Pro trim adds wider all-terrain tires than before, a new advanced E-LSD system that can shift torque left to right and front to rear, a new multi-terrain AWD mode, a new off-road vehicle status screen, and a new Ground View Monitor, all riding on an elevated 9.1 inches of ground clearance. A center-locking differential keeps torque split 50/50 between the front and rear axles when engaged.

A Longer, Roomier SUV With More Cargo Behind the Third Row

The second-generation Telluride grows by 2.7 inches in wheelbase and 2.3 inches in overall length, translating directly into more cargo space behind the third row and greater interior roominess throughout. Seating is available in either 7- or 8-passenger configurations, giving families flexibility depending on how they plan to use the third row.

Flush Door Handles and a Design Borrowed From the EV9

The Telluride's exterior takes design cues from Kia's EV9, including flush door handles that give the SUV a cleaner, more modern silhouette. It's a meaningful styling departure from the boxier original, while still capturing the same commanding road presence that made the first Telluride a hit.

Standard Wireless CarPlay and a Generative AI Voice Assistant

Every 2027 Telluride trim includes standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with Kia's generative AI voice assistant, activated simply by saying "Hey, Kia." It's a more natural, conversational way to interact with the vehicle than a traditional voice command system, and it's available across the entire lineup rather than reserved for the top trim.

Assembled in West Point, Georgia

The all-new Telluride continues to be proudly assembled at Kia's West Point, Georgia, manufacturing plant. That domestic assembly has been part of the Telluride's identity since its debut, and it carries forward into this redesigned generation.
