Pride Kia of Lynn – What to Know About the 2027 Kia Telluride

The 2027 Kia Telluride arrives with a clear mission—deliver full-size SUV comfort, advanced safety, and real-world capability without compromising everyday ease. This latest generation builds on a trusted formula with a turbocharged gas engine, an all-new turbo-hybrid powertrain option, and a lineup that ranges from well-appointed to trail-ready. With seating for up to eight, class-leading second-row legroom, and available premium amenities, the Telluride is designed to fit how families, commuters, and weekend explorers actually live and drive.

Whether you want confident all-weather performance, an upscale cabin experience, or a more efficient commute, the 2027 Telluride offers a trim and powertrain to match. Its feature set tackles daily tasks with ease—hands-free convenience, wireless device charging, a panoramic digital display, and available 360-degree parking views—while its capability welcomes the long way home. From school drop-offs to ski trips and sandy beach days, it is purpose-built to make every mile feel effortless.

Powertrain choice is central to the 2027 Telluride’s appeal. The standard 2.5-liter turbocharged gas engine delivers 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque for confident merging, passing, and towing. If long-range efficiency is your priority, the new turbo-hybrid pairs strong response with impressive estimates—Kia projects 35 MPG combined on the EX FWD hybrid, alongside an estimated 637 miles of total range. You can select the feel that best fits your routine—gas for traditional towing muscle and hybrid for fewer stops between Fill Up and Go—without sacrificing the poised, refined drive that makes Telluride a standout.

Capability remains a core strength. Available All-Wheel Drive with Terrain Mode helps you keep momentum on changing surfaces by distributing power where traction is needed. On higher trims, features like self-leveling rear suspension and an available Electronic Limited Slip Differential add confidence when hauling gear or navigating slick conditions. Go even further with the X-Pro, which brings up to 9.1 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, front and rear recovery hooks, and trail-focused tools such as a Ground View Monitor and an off-road status display to help you read what’s underfoot at low speeds.

Inside, the 2027 Telluride is spacious by design, not by accident. It offers class-leading second-row legroom so adults ride comfortably in every row. The cabin is packed with intuitive touches—USB-C outlets in all three rows, an available smart cargo table function, tri-zone automatic climate control, available second-row window sunshades, and easy-access third-row entry. Commuters and families alike will appreciate the available near-30-inch combined digital displays that bring navigation, media, and vehicle information into clear view, plus Wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration.

Technology extends to safety and driver assistance as well. Available Highway Driving Assist 2 can help with steering input, adaptive cruising, and even assist with lane changes on certain highways when properly engaged. The available Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2 is designed to help detect hazards ahead and can apply braking—and even support steering assistance in specific scenarios—to help avoid or mitigate an impact. Add available features such as a Blind-Spot View Monitor, 360-degree Surround View Monitor, Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Parking Distance Warning, and a Full Display Digital Rearview Mirror for heightened awareness in daily driving and tight parking.

Unsure whether gas or hybrid fits your life best? Consider your weekly miles, towing needs, and how often you encounter traffic. The gas engine excels for frequent towing up to 5,000 pounds and delivers immediate power with an engaging feel. The turbo-hybrid maximizes efficiency and range while still offering strong output, making it an excellent pick for commuters and family road trips that prioritize fewer stops and lower fuel consumption. Both settings maintain Telluride’s refined ride and quiet cabin—choose the one that supports your daily rhythm.

Luxury and convenience are baked in across the lineup. Available dual wireless phone chargers help keep front passengers powered without cables, while a Head-Up Display can project key information into your line of sight. Families will love Passenger Talk—a cabin intercom feature that helps your voice reach the third row—and amenities like tri-zone climate and available heated and ventilated second-row seats. Nighttime errands are easier with available dynamic welcome lighting and an available liftgate lamp that illuminates the area behind the vehicle when cargo duty calls after dark.

Peace of mind also lasts well beyond the first drive. The 2027 Telluride is backed by Kia’s industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, and you can tailor the SUV to your lifestyle with a wide range of genuine Kia accessories designed for protection, organization, and adventure. From roof attachments to all-weather mats, outfitting your Telluride for every season is simple and rewarding.
