Next-Gen 2027 Kia Telluride Coming to LA Auto Show in November
Kia will reveal the updated 2027 Telluride in a world premiere at this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show in November. Here’s what we can expect to find at the unveiling:
2027 Kia Telluride – What’s new?
Essentially the twin to Hyundai’s Palisade, the second-generation Telluride will feature an optional hybrid powertrain just as we saw the 2026 Palisade adopt. That will offer up 329 hp and 339 lb-ft of torque and an estimated total range of some 900 km. Towing capacity of the three-row SUV will be 4,000 lb, and we can expect something in the neighborhood of 7.0L/100 km for combined fuel consumption.
Those not interested in the hybrid option will get a 3.5L V6 that replaces the first edition’s 3.8L engine; it delivers 287 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque.
Again using the 2025 Palisade as a yardstick, the next Telluride should be longer (by 65 mm) than its predecessor, with the wheelbase increasing by 70 mm.
Inside, there will be updated tech (twin 12.3-inch curved screens, etc.) and more premium materials to go around.
