Key Features of the 2027 Kia Telluride
2.5L Turbocharged Engine w/ 274 hp & 311 lb.-ft. of torque
Every gas Telluride is propelled by a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 274 hp and 311 lb.-ft. of torque through an 8-speed automatic. The result is a smooth, confident pull from low speeds and effortless merging on freeway on-ramps. When properly equipped, gas models are rated to tow up to 5,000 lbs., and available self-leveling rear suspension helps maintain composure when the vehicle is loaded. Drive Mode Select with Eco, Normal, Sport, and MyDrive lets you fine-tune throttle and shift behavior to the day at hand, from efficient commuting to brisk mountain drives. Sound-absorbing windshield glass and carefully tuned body isolation help keep the cabin calm even as the powertrain gets to work.
All-Wheel Drive w/ Terrain Mode & Electronic Limited Slip Differential
For added traction in variable conditions, available All-Wheel Drive w/ Terrain Mode distributes power intelligently and lets you choose Snow, Sand, or Mud profiles. The system works with the available Electronic Limited Slip Differential to route torque to the wheel with more grip, giving you sure-footed confidence when surfaces get slick or uneven. On X-Pro, a specialized suspension increases ground clearance to 9.1 inches and pairs with all-terrain tires, front and rear recovery hooks, and exclusive ground lighting that further enhances low-speed visibility around the vehicle. The available Ground View Monitor and Off-Road Display (on X-Pro) show the terrain near the vehicle at under 6 mph and provide key off-road data, helping you place a tire precisely and read the trail ahead.
Combined 29.6-in. Panoramic Display w/ Navigation, Wireless Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™
Telluride’s available combined 29.6-inch Panoramic Display elevates daily life with crisp, easy-to-read graphics that keep infotainment and vehicle data front and center. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integrate maps, music, and messages without cable clutter, and dual wireless phone chargers plus standard USB-C ports across all three rows simplify device power management for the whole family. Available Meridian™ Premium Audio with 14 speakers adds clean dynamics and a wide soundstage, while available Over-the-Air System Updates help keep certain software features current without a service visit. A 5-inch climate display allows quick, at-a-glance adjustments, and an available 12-inch Head-Up Display can project certain key information onto the windshield to support eyes-up driving.
Highway Driving Assist 2 & Enhanced Auto Emergency Braking Technology
The Telluride offers a thoughtful slate of driver assistance technologies. Available Highway Driving Assist 2 uses a front-facing camera, radar sensors, and navigation data to help maintain a set speed and following distance on certain highways, assist with steering to help keep you centered, and even assist with lane changes when the turn signal is activated. Enhanced Auto Emergency Braking Technology with Evasive Steering Assist can help apply the brakes in certain conditions and, with driver input, assist with steering to help avoid a potential collision. Available Blind-Spot View Monitor displays a live video feed of your rear blind spots in the digital gauge cluster, while the 360° Surround View Monitor helps reduce guesswork in parking scenarios. Additional available systems include Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Parking Distance Warning, and Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control w/ Stop & Go.
Class-leading 2nd-row legroom & available seating for up to 8
Inside, Telluride prioritizes space and comfort. Class-leading 2nd-row legroom gives growing kids or adult passengers true stretch-out comfort, while available configurations include seating for up to eight or a 7-passenger layout with 2nd-row captain’s chairs. An easy-access 3rd-row design and USB-C ports in all three rows support daily convenience, and the Smart Power Liftgate speeds cargo loading when your hands are full. Tri-zone Auto Climate Control allows the driver, front passenger, and rear cabin to tailor settings independently. Available details, such as engineered wood or engineered carbon interior trim, multicolor ambient mood lighting, power sunroofs, and heated and ventilated 2nd-row seats on higher trims, add genuine premium flair that elevates daily driving and road trips alike.
