Known for its bold design, spacious interior, and impressive capability, the Telluride is raising the bar once again—this time with new powertrain options, enhanced technology, and even more versatility for everyday driving and weekend adventures alike.
Whether you're commuting through Joplin or heading out on a road trip across Missouri, the 2027 Telluride delivers the kind of performance, comfort, and confidence drivers are looking for in a modern SUV.
At Roper Kia, we’re excited to bring this all-new performance SUV to Joplin drivers. Read on to explore what makes this latest model one of the most anticipated SUVs of the year.
Performance and Power: Gas or Hybrid, Your Choice
The 2027 Telluride gives drivers more ways than ever to experience powerful performance.
The standard 2.5L turbocharged gas engine delivers 274 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque, giving you strong acceleration and confidence when merging onto highways or passing on the open road. With up to 5,000 lbs. of towing capacity, it’s more than ready for boats, trailers, and weekend gear.
Looking for efficiency without sacrificing power? The first-ever Telluride Turbo-Hybrid brings a new level of versatility. With 329 horsepower, 339 lb.-ft. of torque, and up to 637 miles of total range, it’s designed for drivers who want fewer stops and more freedom. Plus, with an EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined, it offers a smart balance of performance and fuel economy.
No matter which powertrain you choose, the Telluride is built to handle both daily driving and long-distance adventures with ease.
Capability That Goes Beyond the Pavement
The 2027 Telluride isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s about how confidently you get there.
With available All-Wheel Drive and Terrain Mode, the Telluride adapts to changing road and weather conditions, making it a great fit for everything from rainy commutes to off-the-beaten-path getaways. Features like the Electronic Limited Slip Differential and available all-terrain tires provide added traction when you need it most.
For drivers who want even more capability, the X-Pro trim adds rugged enhancements like recovery hooks and advanced off-road tools, including a Ground View Monitor and off-road display to help navigate challenging terrain at low speeds.
Wherever the road takes you, the Telluride is ready to handle it.
Bold Design Meets Everyday Functionality
The Telluride continues to stand out with a design that’s both rugged and refined. The X-Line trims take things even further with exclusive 21-inch wheels, blacked-out accents, raised roof rails, and a commanding stance that turns heads from every angle.
Practical features like the liftgate lamp make evening loading and unloading easier, while thoughtful details—like coordinates stamped on the tow hitch—pay tribute to the Telluride’s adventurous spirit.
Inside, the cabin is just as impressive. With dark wood accents, premium materials, and a clean, modern layout, the Telluride creates a space that feels both comfortable and upscale.
Space, Comfort, and Everyday Versatility
If space matters, the 2027 Telluride delivers. With seating for up to 8 passengers (or 7 for added comfort), it’s built for families, road trips, and everything in between.
Passengers will appreciate generous legroom in every row, along with easy access to the third row and USB-C charging ports throughout the cabin. Whether it’s a quick drive across town or a longer journey, everyone stays comfortable and connected.
Need room for cargo? With 22.3 cubic feet of space behind the third row and flexible seating configurations, the Telluride adapts easily to your needs, from groceries to gear and everything in between.
Advanced Technology at Your Fingertips
Step inside the Telluride and you’re greeted with a truly modern driving experience. The available digital cockpit features nearly 30 inches of combined displays, putting navigation, infotainment, and vehicle information front and center.
Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, while features like dual wireless charging and a Head-Up Display help keep your focus where it belongs, on the road.
Additional highlights include a 360° Surround View Monitor, Blind-Spot View Monitor, and a Full-Display Digital Rearview Mirror, all designed to enhance visibility and convenience in everyday driving.
Safety Comes Standard
Kia continues to prioritize driver confidence with a suite of advanced safety features.
The Telluride offers Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Highway Driving Assist 2, helping you stay centered, maintain distance, and navigate highways with ease.
