Key Features of the 2027 Kia Telluride
Up to 8-Passenger Seating and Class-Leading 2nd-row Legroom
The Telluride’s cabin is engineered for real families, not just spec sheets. Available flexible seating for up to eight passengers makes carpool days and vacations easier, while class-leading 2nd-row legroom ensures taller passengers can stretch out in comfort. Choose 2nd-row captain’s chairs for an easy-to-navigate 7-passenger configuration or keep the bench for maximum seating. An easy access 3rd-row helps kids climb in quickly, and USB-C ports in all three rows let everyone keep devices powered. Tri-Zone Auto Climate Control ensures the driver, front passenger, and rear cabin each enjoy ideal comfort. Available amenities such as heated and ventilated front seats, heated and ventilated 2nd-row seats, and a Smart Power Liftgate add everyday convenience. Thoughtful touches like sunshades, sound-absorbing glass, and ambient lighting elevate the experience for daily commuting and long weekend drives alike.
2.5L Turbocharged Power and Up to 5,000 lbs. Towing
The 2.5-liter turbocharged gas engine provides 274 hp and 311 lb.-ft. of torque, giving you strong, confident acceleration for on-ramp merging and passing. Matched to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Telluride feels responsive and composed on city streets and highways. With up to 5,000 lbs. of towing capability when properly equipped, you can bring a small boat to the harbor, a pair of snowmobiles to the trailhead, or a loaded utility trailer to the jobsite. Available self-leveling rear suspension helps maintain an even stance under load, contributing to a smoother, more controlled ride. Drive Mode Select (Eco, Normal, Sport, and MyDrive) lets you tailor responsiveness to your preference. Whether you are navigating stop-and-go traffic in Lynn or towing weekend gear up I-95, the Telluride balances power and poise with confidence.
All-Wheel Drive w/ Terrain Mode and Electronic Limited Slip Differential
Available All-Wheel Drive w/ Terrain Mode is designed to help distribute power where traction is needed most, inspiring confidence when rain, snow, or slush arrives. Select Snow, Sand, or Mud to optimize response for varying conditions. On the X-Pro, an exclusive Electronic Limited Slip Differential (E-LSD) enhances traction over uneven or slippery surfaces by actively helping distribute torque side-to-side. The X-Pro further adds 9.1-in. of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, front and rear recovery hooks, and an available Ground View Monitor that displays the terrain around your vehicle at very low speeds, along with an off-road vehicle status screen. Together, these features give the Telluride a sure-footed demeanor on winter mornings, sandy parking lots near the beach, or dirt roads to the campsite.
Combined 29.6-in. Panoramic Display with Wireless Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™
Available nearly 30 inches of total combined digital displays bring navigation, infotainment, and vehicle information into clear view. The combined 29.6-in. Panoramic Display with Navigation is crafted to be intuitive, with crisp graphics and responsive controls. Wireless Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™ let you access apps, maps, and messages without plugging in. Dual wireless phone chargers help keep two compatible smartphones powered at once, while multiple USB-C ports across all three rows ensure every passenger can charge devices. For audiophiles, the available Meridian™ Premium Audio System w/ 14 Speakers delivers detailed sound staging throughout the cabin, elevating podcasts, playlists, and streaming audio on your daily commute or long-haul adventures.
Highway Driving Assist 2, 360° Surround View Monitor, and Blind-Spot View Monitor
The Telluride offers up to 29 available driver assistance & collision avoidance features to support confident driving. When available and actively engaged, Highway Driving Assist 2 can help you maintain a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead on certain highways and even assist with lane changes when the turn signal is activated. The available 360° Surround View Monitor can aid in tight parking by providing an aerial view of your surroundings, while the available Blind-Spot View Monitor is designed to display a live video feed of your rear blind spots in your digital dashboard gauge cluster. Additional available technologies include a 12-in. Head-Up Display that projects key information into your line of sight and a Full Display Digital Rearview Mirror intended to help provide a clear view behind you even with cargo stacked high. The result is a tech suite designed to reduce stress, especially in dense urban traffic and tight parallel parking scenarios common across the North Shore.
