2027 Kia Telluride.
Last Updated:
All of a sudden. It seems Kia cannot wait to show its all-new Telluride. Since they’ve already committed to a Los Angeles Auto Show launch in a few weeks, all they can currently release are these teasers of a camouflaged car.
As predicted, it looks very closely related to the 2026 Hyundai Palisade (3rd pic). and also, far less original than the current first generation. It also seems much more aggressive-looking with a huge grille across the whole front end of the car.
It seems people really liked the friendly look of the first generation. With over 115,000 of them sold last year, the first-generation Kia Telluride has been more popular than ever. Even more than when it came out, they had long waiting lists for it. From what we can see in these new teasers, I really don’t think the next Telluride will be as popular. It seems much more generic than ever.
What might push sales is the new Hybrid version. Which will be similar to what the 2026 Palisade offers with a 2.5 Liter Engine and a 35MPG rating. I guess people are getting used to having a 4-cylinder in these big 3-row SUVS these days. For others, the big smooth V6 will still be available.
Will if every Korean SUV is coming out with the same black a Pillars and boxy greenhouse then there cant be much originality left. Koran SUVs with the same boxy greenhouse, Sante afe, next generation Tucson, Kia EV9, Kia Carnival, Kia Seltos, next generation Selts, next generation Venue. All Hyundai and Kia is doijg is changing the C pillar. Now the next Telluride looks gorgeous even though i cant see everything.
