Kia has officially unveiled the all-new 2027 Kia Telluride, offering a first look at the second generation of its flagship midsize SUV ahead of its global debut at the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show later this month. Since its launch six years ago, the Telluride has become one of Kia’s most celebrated models—renowned for blending premium comfort, bold design, and rugged capability.
With the 2027 model, Kia set out not to reinvent the Telluride, but to elevate and evolve it. The design team aimed to preserve the essence and DNA that made the original SUV an award-winning success, while refining its proportions, luxury, and overall presence. Guided by Kia’s “Opposites United” design philosophy, the next-generation Telluride fuses strength with sophistication and toughness with elegance, showcasing that evolution can indeed surpass the original.
The new 2027 Telluride SUV is larger, bolder, and more refined than before—now 2.3 inches longer, nearly 3 inches wider in wheelbase, and an inch taller. These dimensions enhance its commanding stance and interior spaciousness, reinforcing its reputation as a family SUV built for both luxury and adventure.
Inside, drivers can expect a premium, resort-like cabin experience with refined materials, advanced technology, and greater comfort across all three rows. The available X-Pro trim adds a more rugged edge with enhanced off-road capability and distinctive styling cues.
Set to arrive in dealerships in early 2026, the 2027 Kia Telluride continues to define what a modern three-row SUV can be—a perfect balance of power, versatility, and sophistication designed for families who crave both comfort and exploration.
2027 Kia Telluride Design: Opposites United Philosophy Redefines Strength, Luxury & Innovation
The all-new 2027 Kia Telluride embodies Kia’s Opposites United design philosophy — blending rugged strength with refined luxury. Inspired by the Colorado town that shares its name, the new Telluride’s exterior combines sharp angles, smooth curves, and bold proportions for a confident yet elegant presence. Its chiseled design, floating wheel cladding, vertical LED “Star Map” lighting, and flush door handles showcase a balance of toughness and sophistication.
The Telluride X-Pro variant amplifies adventure with blacked-out accents, raised roof rails, all-terrain tires, and increased ground clearance, making it trail-ready while maintaining premium appeal. Lighting takes center stage with geometric vertical LEDs and a Ground Lighting feature that enhances both style and functionality.
Inside, the Telluride transforms into a tech sanctuary, merging premium materials, ambient lighting, and reconfigurable elements to create a space that’s both practical and luxurious. The expanded dimensions provide better access and comfort, while rich color themes like Deep Navy, Tuscan Umber, and Blackberry set a new standard for flagship SUVs.
With bold new hues like Black Jade Green and Terrain Brown, the 2027 Telluride perfectly unites design sophistication, technology, and adventure-ready confidence, redefining what a modern three-row SUV should be.
