The 2027 Kia Telluride signals a bold new chapter for Kia’s flagship SUV. With early information hinting at fresh styling, updated powertrain options, and meaningful technology upgrades, this next-generation model may deliver even more capability and comfort for drivers in Kenosha, Racine, and Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin.
At Palmen Kia of Kenosha, we’re excited to help local drivers discover what the upcoming Telluride has to offer.*
Kia Telluride Exterior Features
Kia is expected to lean into rugged strength with the 2027 Telluride’s updated exterior. The vehicle is projected to have a slightly longer wheelbase than the current model, providing families with more cabin space without compromising its confident stance.
Kia’s “Opposites United” design philosophy suggests the Telluride will combine sleek contours with bold, angular shapes, creating a modern yet durable presence on Wisconsin roads.
The redesigned front fascia may feature a more upright profile, new vertical lighting elements, and a wider grille.**
Kia Telluride Performance Features
The 2027 Telluride may undergo one of its most significant transformations under the hood. Kia is expected to replace the traditional V6 engine with a 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, which could produce more responsive power and smoother acceleration.
The Telluride offers drivers around 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, providing strong passing power on I-94 and confident towing capability.
You may also be able to pursue a new turbo-hybrid powertrain. This system may combine the 2.5L turbo engine with electric motors and a compact battery, potentially generating around 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid Telluride could offer a compelling mix of performance and efficiency ideal for daily driving, long-distance trips, and everything in between.
Depending on configuration, the 2027 Telluride may tow up to 5,000 pounds with the turbo engine or 4,500 pounds with the hybrid. If you’re hauling a camper to Lake Michigan or towing gear for a weekend getaway, the Telluride may provide the strength you need.
Kia Telluride Interior Features
Inside the cabin, Kia is poised to push comfort and technology even further. Thanks to its extended wheelbase, the 2027 Telluride may offer increased second- and third-row legroom, providing passengers in every seat with more room to stretch during long drives.
The SUV may continue to provide seating for up to eight, with available second-row captain’s chairs for families that prefer a more open layout.
Technology also takes a step forward. Kia may equip the 2027 Telluride with dual 12.3-inch digital screens, creating a seamless setup that blends the digital gauge cluster and infotainment system.
Kia may also offer new comfort enhancements, such as available “relaxation” front seats with leg rests, heated and ventilated second-row seating, and premium material choices. On the X-Pro model, available off-road tech like a Ground View Monitor and enhanced terrain displays may help drivers tackle rough surfaces with added confidence.
