Kia just dropped the bomb on the automotive world with its all-new Telluride SUV at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The South Korean brand is stepping up its game, and this new model isn’t messing around.
The latest version of the Telluride comes packed with upgrades that cater to every driver’s needs, from tech-savvy millennials to families looking for a spacious ride. With a turbo-hybrid option boasting 329 hp, Kia is pushing hard into hybrid territory while maintaining its commitment to performance.
One of the standout features? A 600-mile range when running on the Turbo-Hybrid powertrain, which also delivers up to 35 mpg. The ICE version isn’t slouching either; it packs a punch with its 274 hp engine and can tow up to 5,000 pounds—making this SUV perfect for those who need to haul heavy loads.
Design-wise, the new Telluride is sleeker than before. It sports modern flush door handles, LED lighting, and sharp sculpted surfaces that give it a distinctive look on the road. The longer body means more room for cargo and passengers without compromising aerodynamics.
But here’s where things get really interesting: Kia has loaded the new Telluride with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Features like Highway Driving Assist, Lane Following Assist, and Safe Exit Warning make this SUV a smart choice for drivers who want an extra layer of safety. Plus, it’s being manufactured at the West Point plant in Georgia, showing Kia’s commitment to American manufacturing.
SeungKyu Yoon, President and CEO of ‘kia’ North America, summed up the excitement: “This new Telluride is a for Kia.” He emphasized that while it’s packed with innovative features, its core remains true to the original model’s success. The 2027 Telluride promises to be a standout in the crowded SUV market.
