2027 Kia Telluride Arrives Soon: What Attleboro Drivers Should Know

The 2027 Kia Telluride is a full redesign, and Kia is framing it as a more capable, more refined three-row SUV with two powertrain choices, including an all-new hybrid option. If you have been waiting for the next Telluride generation, this is the one. The best part is that the upgrades focus on real ownership stuff: powertrain choice, interior comfort, and trims that match how people actually use a three-row.

 

Two powertrains, one big change

Kia has confirmed the 2027 Telluride will offer two powertrains, including a first-ever hybrid. Kia also notes timing as expected early 2026 for the new Telluride family. That matters for shoppers who plan around model changeovers, leases, or trade-in timing.

What to ask about at the dealership

     
  1. Which trims will be available first, and what is the expected order?
    2.  
  2. Do you want gas or hybrid based on your weekly driving pattern?
    3.  
  3. Is AWD available on the trim you actually want?
    4.  
  4. What features are standard vs optional on your preferred trim?

Design updates and a more premium cabin

Kia is positioning the new Telluride as more upscale, with upgrades across all three rows. The Telluride has always been about usable space, and this redesign leans into comfort and tech without trying to turn the cabin into a rolling science lab. It dont need to be confusing to feel modern.

X-Line and X-Pro capability is still a key story

Kia has also highlighted improved X-Pro capability for buyers who want more rugged hardware and off-road readiness. Even if you never plan a serious trail day, these trims often bring practical extras like tougher tires and capability-focused settings. Its the kind of package that makes sense for families who want a little more margin for bad weather and rough roads.

 
 

Quick checklist for Telluride shoppers

     
  • Choose your powertrain first, because it can shape trim availability.
    •  
  • Decide if you want capability trims like X-Line or X-Pro.
    •  
  • Bring your car seats or cargo items for a realistic space check.
    •  
  • Ask about driver assistance features you will actually use every day.
