Model Overview
A Closer Look at the 2027 Kia Telluride

Competitive Strengths
How the 2027 Kia Telluride Stands Out
- Second-row space: Class-leading 2nd-row legroom for genuine adult comfort
- Ground clearance: Available X-Pro with 9.1 in. height and all-terrain tires
- Traction tech: Available E-LSD and AWD w/ Terrain Mode for confident footing
- Towing confidence: Up to 5,000 lb gas and up to 4,500 lb on Hybrid when properly equipped
- Visibility tools: Available Blind-Spot View Monitor and 360° Surround View Monitor
- Clean rear view: Rearview Monitor with integrated camera washer for clearer perspective
- Connected cabin: Available nearly 30 inches of combined digital displays with wireless smartphone integration
- Device-friendly: Dual wireless phone chargers plus abundant USB-C ports across all rows
In a strong field that includes Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Chevrolet Traverse, and Subaru Ascent, Telluride creates separation where it counts. Many competitors do not match Telluride’s class-leading 2nd-row legroom, making longer drives more comfortable for adult passengers. X-Pro’s hardware — 9.1 inches of ground clearance, recovery hooks, and available E-LSD — adds trail-ready capability you will not universally find in the class, and the X-Pro Ground View Monitor provides helpful, low-speed visibility in tight terrain. Daily tech advantages also stack up: an available combined nearly 30 inches of digital displays with Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, available dual wireless chargers, and a slick integrated camera washer that helps keep the rear view clear. For Eau Claire shoppers who split time between city errands, I-94 commutes, and weekend getaways to spots like Lake Wissota or local trailheads, Telluride’s blend of space, traction technology, and intuitive driver aids makes it an easy SUV to live with all week long.
