The 2027 Kia Telluride represents a significant step forward in the evolution of midsize SUVs, combining sophisticated design with advanced technology and impressive capability. This latest generation Telluride builds upon the success of its predecessors while introducing innovative features that set new standards for comfort, performance, and versatility.
Powerful Performance Meets Efficiency
At the heart of the 2027 Telluride lies a robust 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering an impressive 274 horsepower. This powerplant features both direct and port fuel injection, optimizing performance and fuel efficiency across a range of driving conditions. The engine also incorporates Idle Stop and Go (ISG) technology, which automatically shuts off the engine when stopped to conserve fuel and reduce emissions.
Paired with this efficient engine is an advanced eight-speed automatic transmission featuring Shift by Wire (SBW) technology. The transmission includes paddle shifters for those who prefer a more engaged driving experience, along with multiple drive modes, including Eco, Normal, Sport, and MyDrive settings. Drivers will appreciate how these modes adapt the vehicle's performance characteristics to match their preferences and driving conditions.
Spacious Design and Impressive Dimensions
The Telluride continues to offer generous interior space with seating for seven or eight passengers, depending on the configuration. With a wheelbase of 114.2 inches and an overall length of 199.2 inches, the SUV provides ample room for passengers and cargo. The width of 78.3 inches ensures comfortable shoulder room across all three rows, while the height varies from 69.5 to 71.5 inches depending on the trim level.
Advanced Technology and Connectivity
The 2027 Telluride embraces modern technology with a standard 12.3-inch center infotainment display featuring navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ compatibility. The system includes SiriusXM® SiriusXM®, Bluetooth® connectivity with voice recognition, and Kia Connect services. Lakewood Ranch, FL drivers will particularly enjoy the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot capability, keeping passengers connected on longer journeys.
Audio quality receives special attention across the lineup, with base models featuring eight SoundHound® speakers while higher trims benefit from a premium 14-speaker Meridian audio system complete with a 10-inch subwoofer. The Passenger Talk feature allows the driver to communicate easily with third-row passengers through the audio system.
Comprehensive Safety Suite
Safety remains a top priority in the 2027 Telluride, with an extensive array of standard safety features. Every model includes Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go functionality, Lane Keeping Assist, and Lane Departure Warning. The Blind Spot Collision Warning system with Parallel Exit detection helps prevent accidents during lane changes and when exiting parallel parking spaces.
Comfort and Convenience Features
The 2027 Telluride prioritizes passenger comfort with available heated and ventilated front seats, with some trims extending heating functionality to the second row. Convenience features abound throughout the lineup, including a standard power liftgate with smart proximity access, keyless entry with push-button start, and remote engine start capability. The available power tilt and telescoping steering column in select models ensures an optimal driving position for drivers of all sizes.
Capability and Towing
For those who need towing capability, the 2027 Telluride offers an optional towing package across most trim levels. Select X-Pro models come standard with Class IV towing equipment, including a hitch and Trailer Sway Control system. The inclusion of front and rear tow hooks on X-Pro variants further emphasizes their off-road readiness.
Interior Refinement
Material quality varies by trim level, starting with perforated cloth and SynTex combinations in base models and progressing to sophisticated SynTex and SynTex Suede combinations in premium trims. Unique quilted and embossed seat designs in X-Line and X-Pro models add visual interest while maintaining durability. Available interior color combinations include traditional black options and distinctive choices like Deep Navy with Tuscan Umber and Millstone with Saddle Brown.
