Performance & Capability for Every Mile
The 2027 Kia Telluride is engineered to move with confidence and purpose. Every gas model features a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine rated at 274 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque, paired to an 8-speed automatic for smooth response. When properly equipped, towing is rated up to 5,000 pounds, and available All-Wheel Drive with Terrain Mode helps distribute power where it’s needed most. For drivers who want an added layer of adventure, the X-Pro trim boosts ground clearance to 9.1 inches, adds recovery hooks, an Electronic Limited Slip Differential (E-LSD), and an available Ground View Monitor to assist at low speeds on rougher paths. Between the stout engine, balanced suspension tuning, and smart drive modes, the Telluride delivers a calm, capable drive from neighborhood errands to weekend trailheads.

How the 2027 Kia Telluride Stands Out
- Second-row space: Class-leading 2nd-row legroom gives families more comfort than many midsize rivals
- Trail-ready trim: X-Pro adds 9.1-in. ground clearance, E-LSD, and recovery hooks rarely seen in this class
- Digital clarity: Nearly 30 inches of combined displays with available Meridian™ Premium Audio
- Assistive tech: Up to 29 available driver-assist and collision-avoidance features for confident daily driving
Versus familiar names like Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Chevrolet Traverse, and others, the 2027 Telluride emphasizes everyday spaciousness, terrain-savvy confidence, and an elevated digital cockpit. Many rivals don’t match Telluride’s combination of class-leading 2nd-row legroom and available trail hardware—including recovery hooks and a Ground View Monitor on X-Pro—for occasional Hill Country paths or unpaved driveways. Inside, dual wireless charging, USB-C ports in all three rows, and an available Full Display Digital Rearview Mirror go beyond what you’ll typically find elsewhere. For San Antonio shoppers balancing school runs, I-10 commutes, and weekend road time, Telluride feels composed, connected, and comfortable—standing out with a cabin that treats every seat like the best seat.
