Kia Priced the 2027 Telluride at $39,190 and Put It on the Street

Kia America printed a U.S. sticker on the second-gen Telluride and said the gas three-row is on sale. The March 10, 2026 Santa Barbara kit starts the LX at $39,190. X-Pro SX-Prestige tops the gas sheet at $56,790. Hybrid EX from $46,490. They already sell the boxy one.

$39,190. On sale.

Gas LX FWD starts at $39,190. Destination is $1,545, printed on a separate line. Kia’s footnote: MSRP excludes destination and handling, taxes, title, license fees, options and retailer charges. Actual prices set by retailer.

The Santa Barbara kit listed gas in LX, S, EX, SX, SX-Prestige, X-Line and X-Pro. Hybrid in EX, SX, SX-Prestige and X-Line. Hybrid EX FWD is $46,490. Hybrid X-Line SX-Prestige is $57,590. Same numbers as the January 8 gas sheet and the February 26 hybrid pricing release.

Kia said the gas Telluride was available now and the turbo hybrid had started to arrive that month. A March 23 campaign release kept the same sticker. Summer award notes did not reprint prices. No later official kit changed the number.

Turbo gas. Then 329 hp.

The 2.5-liter turbo is standard on gas cars: 274 hp at 5,800 rpm and 311 lb-ft from 1,700 to 4,000. Eight-speed automatic. Kia’s spec sheet lists FWD at an estimated 20/26/22 mpg.

The turbo hybrid pairs that engine with a 1.65-kWh lithium-ion battery and electric motors. Combined 329 hp and 339 lb-ft. Six-speed automatic. Kia printed an EPA-estimated 35 mpg combined and 637 miles of total driving range on the EX FWD. The footnote on that kit is 34/36/35. Mileage based on EX FWD HEV with 18-inch tires, per the February 26 release.

Tow rating: 5,000 pounds on the turbo, 4,500 on the hybrid. Both need the extra equipment Kia lists in the owner’s manual.

X-Pro. West Point.

X-Pro gets 9.1 inches of ground clearance, wider all-terrain tires than before, E-LSD, Terrain Mode, Ground View Monitor, and Ground Lighting. Kia priced X-Pro SX at $53,690 and X-Pro SX-Prestige at $56,790.

Wheelbase 116.9 inches. Overall length 199.2. Cargo behind the third row: 22.3 cubic feet on gas, 21.3 on hybrid. Max: 89.3 and 88.3. Those cargo figures include the lower storage area. The gas spec sheet lists 43.0 inches of second-row legroom.

Kia Georgia started production in West Point on February 24, 2026. Sean Yoon called it the only plant in the world that builds Telluride. The Santa Barbara kit said the second-gen was designed, engineered and equipped specifically for U.S. consumers.
