Introducing the all-new 2027 Kia Telluride: first-ever hybrid, increased X-Pro capability elevate the three-row SUV

Today, Kia unveiled the upcoming next-generation 2027 Telluride SUV at the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show. The confident and composed three-row Telluride bows as Kia’s flagship SUV while also introducing an all-new available hybrid powertrain. Wrapped in a contemporary aesthetic that evokes the core Telluride design principles while embracing Kia’s Opposites United form language, the 2027 model lays the groundwork for countless new adventures in either 7-or-8-passenger seating configurations.

“With the launch of the second-generation Telluride, our design and product planning team had an incredible challenge: Develop an all-new SUV that was its own, unique product, while encapsulating many of the elements that made the original Telluride a historic success,” SeungKyu (Sean) Yoon, President and CEO of Kia North America and Kia America. “The 2027 Telluride is a capable and sophisticated SUV that embodies our approach to bringing innovative, consumer-focused products to market.”

With greater overall length, more cargo space and interior roominess, along with a sanctuary-like cabin outfitted with features and materials typically found in luxury SUVs, the second-generation Telluride arrives standard with a turbocharged powertrain and will also be available with a turbocharged hybrid powertrain with up to 329 horsepower and has a rating of a Kia-estimated 35 MPG combined¹. Thoughtful features abound. Available full LED Ground Lighting and a new Ground View Monitor⁴ (X-Pro trim exclusive), standard wireless Apple CarPlay⁹ and Android Auto¹⁰ across every trim level, along with a host of new convenience and technology features, set a new benchmark.

Offered in LX, S, EX, SX and SX-Prestige trims, as well as stylish X-Line and capable X-Pro trims, the 2027 Telluride is expected to arrive in the United States in Q1 2026. Pricing will be announced closer to its on-sale date.
