Kia Previews Bigger, More Upmarket 2027 Telluride With X‑Pro Off‑Road Trim

Full specs and pricing will arrive at the Los Angeles Auto Show ahead of U.S. showroom deliveries in early 2026.

Overview

  • The second‑generation three‑row SUV grows by about 2.3 inches in length, nearly 3 inches in wheelbase and roughly 1 inch in height to boost interior space and ease third‑row access.
  • An X‑Pro variant adds all‑terrain tyres, approximately 9.1 inches of ground clearance, front and rear recovery hooks, raised roof rails and ground‑projecting exterior lighting.
  • The cabin adopts a widescreen display setup with dual 12.3‑inch panels and a dedicated climate screen, plus upgrades such as real metal accents, mesh headrests and new color themes.
  • Family‑focused touches include a folding luggage table with integrated ruler in the cargo area and a rear center console that converts into a table.
  • Kia highlights its Opposites United design with vertical ‘Star Map’ LEDs and flush door handles, and outlets note Palisade‑based underpinnings as Kia withholds powertrain and price details; U.S.‑only left‑hand‑drive production continues, limiting right‑hand‑drive markets like Australia.
