Kia has released pricing for the 2027 Telluride gas models, and it’s not bad, considering how much of an upgrade this SUV is compared to its predecessor. The base LX trim, available only in FWD, starts at $40,735 and includes 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, three-zone climate control, dual wireless chargers, and a full suite of driver assistance technology features. A 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also comes standard.
Want AWD in your 2027 Kia Telluride? You’ll need to jump up to the S trim, which costs $45,635. That’s $2,000 more than a front-drive model of the same variant. X-Line, SX Prestige, and X-Pro models come exclusively with AWD, while the SX is FWD only. Higher trims include features like a 12.3-inch digital cluster, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated and ventilated second-row captain’s chairs. Kia also includes a 14-speaker Meridian premium audio system on the SX trim and up. Additional driver assistance features include a surround-view camera, evasive steering assist, and Highway Driving Assist 2.
2027 Kia Telluride: Rugged, Premium, and Turbocharged
Initially, the 2027 Telluride launches with a 2.5-liter turbo-four making 274 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic remains the only transmission available. A hybrid powertrain based on the same engine adds an electric motor and a 1.65-kWh lithium-ion battery. It also swaps the eight-speed auto for a six-speed unit. That powertrain is good for 329 hp and 339 lb-ft. Kia expects the Telluride Hybrid to receive an EPA-estimated combined rating of 35 mpg.
For those looking to get off the beaten path, the X-Pro models have a lifted suspension with additional stroke, a Terrain drive mode, 9.1 inches of ground clearance, and an electronic limited-slip differential. All told, a full-loaded 2027 Telluride costs $58,335 before any extra-cost colors or interiors.
