Kia Previews Bigger, More Upscale 2027 Telluride With New X‑Pro Trim

Kia frames this as a design-first look ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show, with powertrain, trim specifics and pricing to follow.

Overview

  • The second-generation three-row SUV grows about 2.3 inches in length, stretches its wheelbase nearly 3 inches and stands roughly an inch taller for more interior space.
  • A new X-Pro variant adds all-terrain tires, 9.1 inches of ground clearance, front and rear recovery hooks and ground-illuminating exterior lights.
  • Design follows the brand’s Opposites United philosophy with a larger grille, vertical LED lighting, flush door handles and the return of amber daytime running lights.
  • Cabin updates include increased passenger volume, dual displays and family-focused touches such as a folding cargo-area table with an integrated ruler and a rear console that converts to a table.
  • The model makes its full public debut on Nov. 20 at the Los Angeles Auto Show, with deliveries expected in the first quarter of 2026 and technical details and pricing to be disclosed at or after the reveal.
