The 2027 Kia Telluride steps confidently into the three-row SUV conversation with a thoughtful blend of powertrain choice, family-focused space, and advanced driver assistance that speaks directly to real-world use. Shoppers around Waukesha, WI who split time between school drop-offs, I-94 commutes, and weekends in Lake Country will appreciate how intentionally the Telluride is built. You get a robust 2.5L turbo gas engine with up to 5,000 pounds of towing, plus an available turbo-hybrid that targets strong combined efficiency while supplying 329 horsepower and up to 4,500 pounds of towing. Inside, class-leading 2nd-row legroom and available seating for seven or eight make daily life easier, and the available digital cockpit with nearly 30 inches of combined displays positions navigation, audio, and vehicle info right where you want it. Add in available All-Wheel Drive with Terrain Mode, an available Electronic Limited Slip Differential, and the trail-ready X-Pro trim featuring 9.1 inches of ground clearance and all-terrain tires, and the Telluride is ready for Southeast Wisconsin’s mix of city streets, rural two-lanes, and boat launches.
Whether you’re taking the long way up County Road C or merging onto I-94 toward Milwaukee, the 2027 Kia Telluride puts confident performance at your right foot. The standard 2.5-liter turbocharged gas engine delivers 274 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque for easy passing and controlled towing. If you prefer an electrified edge, the available 2.5-liter turbo-hybrid powertrain targets 329 horsepower and up to 4,500 pounds of towing, pairing punch with long-range confidence. Available All-Wheel Drive with Terrain Mode and an available Electronic Limited Slip Differential help distribute traction in Snow, Sand, or Mud, while available self-leveling rear suspension helps maintain a composed stance with trailers or a fully loaded cabin. For drivers who venture beyond pavement, the X-Pro SX Prestige brings 9.1 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, front and rear recovery hooks, an available Ground View Monitor, and an off-road display to help you read the terrain at lower speeds.
The Telluride’s cabin is designed to support busy days and longer getaways with equal poise. With adult-friendly space in all three rows and class-leading 2nd-row legroom, passengers can settle in without compromise. The available 2nd-row captain’s chairs with 1-touch tilt/slide make third-row access simple, while tri-zone Auto Climate Control and plentiful USB-C charging keep each row comfortable and connected. Up front, the available digital cockpit stitches together nearly 30 inches of total screen area, so your 12.3-inch navigation and vehicle information live side-by-side with clear graphics. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility streamline setup, and the available Meridian Premium Audio system elevates podcasts and playlists. Practical touches like an available smart power liftgate, integrated sunshades, and an available smart cargo table function make grocery runs and youth sports weekends around Waukesha smoother.
Driver confidence is baked into the 2027 Telluride with up to 29 available driver assistance and collision avoidance features. When available and actively engaged, systems like Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2 can help detect hazards in your path and even assist with steering inputs in certain circumstances. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist works to help avoid adjacent-lane incidents, and the available Blind-Spot View Monitor shows a live camera feed in your instrument cluster. Highway Driving Assist 2, when available and engaged, can help maintain speed, distance, and lane centering on certain highways, and can assist with lane changes when you signal. Around town, available 360° Surround View Monitor and Parking Distance Warning give you extra context for tight downtown Waukesha spaces, while Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist watches as you back out from grocery aisles or school lots.

We understand what Waukesha drivers ask of a three-row SUV. From parallel parking near Downtown shops to launching a small boat at Pewaukee Lake, our team helps you identify the Telluride configuration that fits your daily drive.

Turning your current vehicle into a head start for a new 2027 Kia Telluride is easy with our trade-in resources. Use our online tools to share a few details and get a baseline estimate, then stop by for a quick in-person appraisal that reflects local market conditions. Applying your trade value can simplify financing and help you focus on the Telluride trim and features you truly want—whether that’s X-Line style, a panoramic display on SX, or the trail-ready confidence of X-Pro.
In a segment filled with strong choices, the Telluride shines by balancing spacious comfort and forward-thinking tech without losing sight of daily drivability. Some competitors offer off-road packages but lack recovery hooks, a dedicated Ground View Monitor, or as much ground clearance in comparable trims. Others deliver substantial screens, but not the cohesive, nearly 30-inch digital cockpit available here. And while many three-row SUVs promise “room for everyone,” the Telluride’s class-leading 2nd-row legroom gives adults the space they expect on trips between Waukesha and Brookfield or longer days toward Door County. Up to 29 available driver assist and collision avoidance features rival or exceed what you’ll find elsewhere, with systems like Highway Driving Assist 2 designed to help on certain highways when engaged. For local shoppers who need a confident, family-ready SUV that can also pull a utility trailer, handle a gravel drive near Minooka Park, or park neatly off Madison Street, the 2027 Telluride is a smart, well-rounded fit.
