Telluride
Kia gets a jump on the 2027 model year with the launch of the all-new, second-generation Telluride, the brand’s flagship utility vehicle. This three-row, midsized crossover features a dynamic exterior with a wide front end, high-tech lighting, and flowing body lines. The redesigned Telluride also has flush door handles – the same ones seen on the EV9 – for a crisp and contemporary look. The interior has been redone with a lean toward updated simplicity, with a digital cockpit and a large console with dual wireless device chargers. There’s plenty of headroom in the first and second rows, class-leading legroom in the middle row, and an easy-access third row with its own USB-C ports.
Ensuring that there’s a Telluride for every buyer, Kia presents a lineup of nine trims, including the SX Prestige with its massaging driver’s seat and the X-Pro SX Prestige, which boasts a raised suspension and ground clearance of 9.1 inches plus all-terrain tires and other rugged modifications for improved off-road capabilities. As for power, the new turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine puts out 50 lb.-ft. more torque than last year’s V6.
