2027 Kia Telluride – The 2027 Kia Telluride has made its debut in a striking new version, thereby claiming a bigger share in the full-size SUV market. The three-row and luxurious Telluride which has been North America’s darling for quite some time is now going to be not only from a distance but closer with the new model showcased at the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show—the stronger design, smarter features, and more powerful engines.
Design
The new Telluride is more dazzling and wider than before and this is what it is boasting about. The front part gets the biggest and most violent grille of them all, with the accompaniment of LED lights that are vertically arranged and the same vertical DRLs. The SUV’s tough, all-terrain-ready character is molded by a strong bonnet, a sizeable bumper, and imitation skid plates.
On the contrary, the sparkling glass surface, the floating-roof effect, and the door handles getting smoothly integrated give a top-notch Range Rover-like disposition. The thick D-pillar and 8 stylish spokes of the alloy wheels add to the sophistication and modernity of the look. The back receives this premium treatment through the simple vertical tail lamps and the striking TELLURIDE lettering which grants the SUV its very expensive identity.
Interior
The moment you enter the 2027 Telluride, it seems like a luxury high-end lounge. The most important feature is the 30-inch Trinity Display which merges a 12.3-inch infotainment unit, a 5-inch climate control screen, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The interface is modern and seamless, just like those in the new Kia Syros and Syros EV.
In the cabin, the materials used are real leather, real wood, metal accents and premium upholstery, that together create a rich and refined atmosphere. Every detail feels more premium than ever, thus, long journeys become more comfortable and pleasant.
Engine
The 3.8L V6 that was once the mainstay of Kia has been phased out and two new 2.5L machines have been introduced to the mix for better power and efficiency dimensions.
The 2.5L Turbo Petrol is capable of 274 bhp and is partnered with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive layout.
The 2.5L Hybrid is the one to really talk about as it generates a staggering 329 bhp along with a 1.65 kWh battery and electric motor providing not only power but also very efficient and silent running.
