The 2027 Kia Telluride takes everything families have loved about this three-row SUV and elevates it even further. With a striking new design, meaningful technology upgrades, and a smarter, more efficient powertrain, the redesigned Telluride proves that Kia did not simply refresh a favorite, it reimagined it here at Jim Butler Kia of St. Louis.
For families who already know the Telluride's magic, and for those discovering it for the first time, the 2027 model delivers a level of refinement and capability that makes it easy to fall in love with all over again.
A Striking, Head-Turning Redesign
The exterior design of the 2027 Telluride strikes a perfect balance between rugged and elegantly modern. The off-road-capable X-Pro trim, with its chunky all-terrain tires and confident stance, gives off a distinct sense of adventure-ready capability, while the sleek side profile and rear styling bring a premium, upscale presence to the lineup.
Inside the X-Pro trim, Kia swapped traditional wood accents for engineered carbon interior trim, giving the cabin a modern, sporty edge that still carries the sophistication Telluride owners have come to expect.
A Wide Range of Trims for Every Family
The 2027 Telluride lineup offers something for nearly every family, with ten total trims to choose from. Shoppers who want a trail-ready adventure companion can opt for the X-Pro, complete with premium comforts like heated, ventilated, and massaging seats along with a heated steering wheel. Families looking for exceptional everyday value will find plenty to love in the approachable LX trim, which still delivers a tech-forward interior and seating for up to eight.
For those in between, the X-Line EX and SX trims offer a wonderful balance of features and capability, while five available hybrid trims give efficiency-focused families even more flexibility. Across the board, the Telluride continues to deliver an impressive amount of technology and comfort for a mid-size family SUV.
A Cabin Designed With Families in Mind
Inside, the 2027 Telluride continues to shine as a true family-first SUV. Seating seven comfortably, every row offers generous space to keep passengers happy on even the longest road trips. Second-row captain's chairs come with their own panoramic sunroof access, cup holders, ample door storage, and ceiling-mounted climate vents for added comfort.
Getting to the third row is easier than ever thanks to a car-seat-friendly tilt function that slides the second row forward without disrupting car seat installations. Third-row passengers enjoy generous legroom, head clearance, USB-C charging, additional cup holders, and their own ceiling vents.
Clever details continue throughout the cabin, including cup holders that flip and fold flush with the center console for easy cleanup. Cargo space is equally impressive, ranging from 21 cubic feet behind the third row to a generous 48.7 cubic feet with the third row folded, and up to 89.3 cubic feet with both rear rows folded down.
Thoughtful Technology That Makes a Real Difference
Two standout technology upgrades make daily driving noticeably easier in the 2027 Telluride. Wireless Android Auto connects quickly and seamlessly, keeping the console tidy and the driving experience simple. An upgraded 360-degree camera system delivers crystal-clear views that automatically appear when slowing into a parking spot, with a convenient one-button option to view all camera angles at once.
These thoughtful updates show that Kia has been listening closely to what Telluride owners actually want, preserving the interior functionality families love while enhancing the features that make everyday driving easier.
A Peppy, Efficient New Powertrain
The 2027 Telluride introduces a 2.5 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 274 horsepower and 311 pound feet of torque, delivering a lively, punchy driving feel that avoids any hint of sluggishness. The new powertrain also brings welcome efficiency gains, with drivers able to see strong highway mileage using Eco mode, especially appealing for family road trips. Shoppers seeking even greater efficiency can also explore the available hybrid Telluride lineup.
Genuine Off-Road Capability With the X-Pro
For families who want a bit more adventure, the top-shelf X-Pro trim delivers real off-road credibility. Compared to the X-Line trim, the X-Pro offers 9.1 inches of ground clearance, a 1.5 inch lift, all-terrain tires on glossy 18-inch wheels, a 5,500 pound towing capacity, front and rear recovery hooks, and a ground view monitor for added confidence on bumpy trails.
Family SUV Built to Impress
The 2027 Kia Telluride is built for families who need space without sacrificing style, capability, or technology. It stands out among mid-size SUV competitors thanks to its blend of rugged aesthetics and genuinely thoughtful, user-friendly interior features, making it an easy vehicle to recommend to any family in the market.
Beyond the technology itself, the Telluride creates an experience that feels genuinely upscale. Premium materials, sophisticated design details, customizable ambient lighting, and advanced driver-assistance features come together to create a cabin that rivals many luxury SUVs. It is a vehicle that effortlessly balances innovation with practicality, giving families the confidence to tackle daily routines while remaining fully prepared for weekend adventures.
The 2027 Kia Telluride proves that drivers no longer have to choose between rugged capability, refined comfort, and cutting-edge technology because it delivers all three in one exceptionally well-rounded package.
Refinement That Honors the Original
For families already familiar with the Telluride's reputation, the 2027 model builds on that foundation rather than starting over. The core strengths that made the original Telluride such a beloved family SUV, spaciousness, comfort, and everyday practicality, remain fully intact. Kia simply layered in smarter technology, a more refined design, and an updated powertrain, creating a Telluride that feels both familiar and genuinely new at the same time.
That thoughtful evolution is exactly what makes the 2027 Telluride such a compelling choice, whether shoppers are stepping into the Telluride family for the first time or considering an upgrade from an earlier model.
