Key Features of the 2027 Kia Telluride
2.5L 4-Cylinder Turbocharged Engine w/ 274 hp & 311 lb.-ft. of torque
The Telluride’s standard 2.5-liter turbocharged gas engine is tuned for strong, confident acceleration, whether you are merging onto I-70 or passing along US-36. With 274 hp and 311 lb.-ft. of torque working through an 8-speed automatic transmission, power delivery feels responsive and smooth. Up to 5,000 lbs. of towing capacity means a properly equipped Telluride can pull a small camper or boat to your favorite mountain spot, and available self-leveling rear suspension helps enhance composure under load. Drive Mode Select with Eco, Normal, Sport, and MyDrive lets you tailor throttle response and steering feel to the day’s destination, giving you more control when the weather changes and the road surface follows suit.
All-Wheel Drive w/ Terrain Mode
Available All-Wheel Drive w/ Terrain Mode is engineered to help you maintain traction when conditions get messy. Terrain Mode settings for Snow, Sand, and Mud use targeted power distribution to help you move through low-grip surfaces more confidently. On select trims, the available Electronic Limited Slip Differential adds another layer of capability by actively managing power between the rear wheels to help reduce wheelspin and support stability when a surface becomes uneven. Choose the X-Pro SX Prestige, and trail-ready hardware steps up further with a raised 9.1-in. ground clearance, all-terrain tires, front and rear recovery hooks, and X-Pro Ground View Monitor, so you can watch the trail at low speed and focus on a careful line.
Combined 29.6-in. Panoramic Display
Available on upper trims, the combined 29.6-in. Panoramic Display unites your core driving and infotainment screens for a clean, high-contrast view. It integrates navigation, vehicle settings, media, and helpful driver-assist status indicators within quick reach. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ reduce cord clutter while keeping your favorite apps front and center. Available Meridian™ Premium Audio with 14 speakers turns the cabin into a moving concert hall, while dual wireless phone chargers and multiple USB-C ports across all three rows keep everyone connected on long drives to the high country. For added clarity, the available 12-in. Head-Up Display projects key info like speed and navigation prompts closer to your line of sight, helping you keep eyes on the road.
Blind-Spot View Monitor
The available Blind-Spot View Monitor is designed to show a live video feed of your rear blind spots in the digital dashboard gauge cluster when you activate your turn signal. That real-time view can be especially useful when lanes are packed on I-25 or when you are navigating side streets with cyclists and pedestrians. It pairs well with the available 360° Surround View Monitor, which provides an overhead perspective during low-speed maneuvers, helping you gauge distance to curbs, rock walls, and tight garage spaces. Together, these technologies are designed to add convenience to daily driving and reduce anxiety during tricky reversing and parking situations, from downtown garages to trailhead pullouts.
Up to 8 Passenger Seating
The Telluride’s cabin is intentionally sized and cleverly laid out to make daily life simpler for families. Available flexible seating for up to 8 passengers or 7 with 2nd-row Captain’s Chairs gives you options to balance people and gear. Class-leading 2nd-row legroom means grown-ups and teens get real space, not just a squeeze. Easy access to the 3rd row and USB-C outlets in all three rows help everyone stay comfortable and connected on drives from Littleton to Rocky Mountain trailheads. Available heated and ventilated front seats, available heated and ventilated 2nd-row seats, tri-zone auto climate control, and thoughtful storage solutions all elevate everyday comfort. Add the Smart Power Liftgate and the X-Line or X-Pro liftgate lamp, and you can load up in low light after late practices or long hikes without fuss.
