2027 Kia Telluride Shopping Overview near Irvine, CA

Performance & Capability for Every Mile

The 2027 Kia Telluride is engineered to do more with confidence. The standard 2.5-liter turbocharged gas engine delivers 274 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque, making merges onto I-405 and quick two-lane passes feel smooth and composed. When it is time to bring toys, tools, or gear, Telluride offers up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity with available self-leveling rear suspension to help keep things poised under load. Available All-Wheel Drive with Terrain Mode and an available Electronic Limited Slip Differential help distribute power precisely when surfaces get loose, while the X-Pro SX Prestige raises the bar with 9.1 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, recovery hooks, and an available Ground View Monitor plus off-road display for low-speed terrain awareness. Looking to stretch every mile? The Telluride Hybrid brings a 2.5L turbo-hybrid system rated at 329 horsepower and 339 lb.-ft. of torque, up to a Kia-estimated 35 MPG combined on EX FWD, and up to 4,500 pounds of towing. No matter which powertrain you choose, the result is a composed, capable drive that is equally at home on Culver, Jeffrey, or the 241 Toll Road.

Telluride’s cabin balances generous space with technology that is intuitive at a glance and easy to use on the move. Drivers can equip a combined 29.6-inch panoramic display (with embedded navigation) to keep key information front and center, while passengers appreciate standard USB-C ports in each row to keep devices charged. Families will love the available dual wireless chargers, the convenience of Passenger Talk for quick front-to-rear communication, and tri-zone climate control to keep everyone comfortable. Add premium touches such as heated and ventilated front seats, available heated and ventilated 2nd-row captain’s chairs, engineered wood trim, and multicolor ambient lighting, and you have a three-row interior that feels upscale without sacrificing everyday practicality.

From busy parking lots to 405 rush hour, Telluride surrounds you with advanced assistance. When available and actively engaged, systems like Highway Driving Assist 2 can help with lane changes and lane-centering on certain highways, while Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control uses road data to help adjust speed for curves and changing limits. Available Blind-Spot View Monitor displays a live feed in the gauge cluster, and the available 360° Surround View Monitor can make tight maneuvers easier. The result is a confident daily drive backed by up to 29 available driver assistance and collision avoidance features.
