The 2027 Telluride is a full redesign, the biggest change to Kia’s flagship SUV since it launched. Here is what stands out:
A new turbo engine: the old V6 is replaced by a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine, so the gas Telluride makes its power a different way while still seating up to eight.
A hybrid for the first time: the Telluride is now offered as a hybrid, giving highway drivers a more efficient option that was never available before.
A larger, roomier body: the redesign stretches the Telluride with a longer wheelbase for more passenger space and a more substantial look, inside and out.
Still built in Georgia: the Telluride continues to be assembled at Kia’s plant in West Point, Georgia, just down the road from our Union City showroom.
You want the lower starting price, you tow closer to the Telluride’s maximum, or most of your driving is around town. The turbocharged gas engine is the value pick and the one most families land on.
You cover a lot of highway miles and want the best fuel economy, or you like having extra power on tap. The new hybrid trades a little towing capacity for noticeably better mileage on long Georgia commutes, at a higher starting price.

Cross-shopping other three-row SUVs is smart, and the Telluride holds up well. See the head-to-head breakdowns:
The Telluride has earned a strong reputation since it launched and consistently ranks near the top of the three-row segment for owner satisfaction. It is backed by Kia’s 10-year or 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, and qualifying new models at ALM Kia South also include the Included Lifetime Warranty at no extra cost, which speaks to how it is built to hold up over the long run.
No. Kia skipped the 2026 model year for the Telluride and moved straight from the 2025 to the fully redesigned 2027. So the newest Telluride you can buy today is a 2027, and that is what we stock at ALM Kia South.
