2027 Kia Telluride
Kia on Monday revealed a preview of its next-generation Telluride SUV, which the automaker is calling a “new benchmark for the brand’s design and ambition.”
Since its debut in 2019, the first-generation Telluride has been a major success story for the South Korean carmaker, frequently ranking among the most in-demand vehicles in the U.S. based on dealer inventory. The model remains one of Kia’s most important offerings in the American market.
The company said the 2027 Telluride, expected to reach U.S. showrooms in the first quarter, will feature a larger, boxier, and more contemporary design compared with the current version.
At the front, the SUV sports a wide grille framed by vertical headlamps, while the rear adopts a sleek, refined profile reminiscent of a Range Rover.
Kia on Monday shared official images of the Telluride X-Pro model ahead of the vehicle’s full unveiling later this month at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Additional trims and detailed specifications will be revealed during the event.
Since its initial launch, Telluride sales have climbed steadily each year. According to Kia, the company has sold more than 444,000 units to date, with sales up 11% year to date through October.
The current Telluride lineup includes 10 trim levels, with prices starting around $36,000 and reaching up to $54,000.
Earlier this year, Hyundai introduced a redesigned version of the Palisade, the Telluride’s mechanical sibling, with pricing that ranges from about $39,000 to $55,000, depending on the trim.
