Kia turned the page to the next chapter of its iconic design narrative with an exclusive look at the reimagined 2027 Kia Telluride. Since its debut six years ago, the Telluride midsize SUV has become a defining success for the brand, lauded for its balance of refined luxury and rugged capability. This deft combination helped Telluride redefine family adventure with inspirational style, resort-level comfort and an unmatched on-road experience.
The challenge for the second-generation Telluride wasn’t to reinvent, but to evolve. For Kia’s design team, the goal was clear: preserve the essence and design DNA that made the original such a standout in its segment, while elevating its presence and sophistication. This wasn’t a blank slate. They were building on a legacy.
The result is an all-new Telluride that’s bigger, bolder, and still proudly boxy. Now 2.3 inches longer overall, with a wheelbase stretched by nearly three inches and a height increase of one inch, it’s a confident evolution that stays true to its roots while embracing a more modern edge. Guided by Kia’s global Opposites United design philosophy, the Telluride blends strength with elegance, toughness with sophistication, and innovation with restraint. It makes the statement that sequels can unabashedly transcend the original.
The all-new 2027 Telluride will make its official world debut later this month at the Los Angeles Auto Show with a wide breadth of trim levels including the X-Pro trim. The second-generation SUV is expected to arrive in showrooms during the first quarter of 2026.
