The 2027 Kia Telluride arrives with a clear mission: deliver confident performance, family-ready space, and technology that makes every drive easier. For Wauwatosa drivers researching their next three-row SUV, this model brings meaningful updates right where it counts. You get a strong 2.5L turbocharged engine with up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity on gas models, an available All-Wheel Drive w/ Terrain Mode system, and the rugged X-Pro trim with 9.1 inches of ground clearance when your plans include gravel lots by Hart Park or weekend trails beyond the Zoo Interchange. Inside, you’ll find class-leading second-row legroom, available flexible seating for up to eight, and thoughtful touches like USB-C outlets in all three rows. Pair that with nearly 30 inches of total combined digital displays, available Meridian™ Premium Audio, and available Highway Driving Assist 2, and the Telluride feels purpose-built for busy Mayfair Road errands, downtown Milwaukee commutes, and everything in between. If you’re comparing competitors, start with the core comfort, capability, and connectivity advantages the Telluride puts at your fingertips—then test them on the streets you know best.
The 2027 Telluride balances smooth daily driving with the muscle to handle bigger jobs. The standard 2.5-liter turbocharged gas engine delivers 274 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque for confident merges on Highway 100 and I-41. Gas models can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, and available All-Wheel Drive w/ Terrain Mode helps distribute power where it’s needed most. Step up to the X-Pro SX Prestige and you’ll add 9.1 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, recovery hooks, and the available X-Pro Ground View Monitor with an Off Road Display to bring more assurance to rougher paths and unpaved parking areas near Menomonee River Parkway.
Telluride’s cabin is designed to simplify busy days. Families appreciate the quick 1-touch tilt-and-slide access to the third row, while commuters love the logically arranged controls and serene ride aided by sound-absorbing glass on upper trims. The available combined 29.6-inch Panoramic Display puts driver info and navigation front and center, and dual wireless phone chargers solve the “who gets the charging cord” debate once and for all. Add the available Meridian™ Premium Audio for richer podcasts on North Avenue or your favorite playlist heading past the Milwaukee County Zoo. Whether you choose 8-passenger seating or the 7-passenger layout with 2nd-row Captain’s Chairs, the Telluride’s class-leading second-row legroom gives every rider extra space to unwind.
From neighborhood streets to freeway travel, the Telluride layers in standard and available driver-assist systems that support awareness and confidence. When available features are actively engaged, systems like Highway Driving Assist 2 can assist with lane centering and even help with lane changes, while the available Blind-Spot View Monitor shows a live video feed of your rear blind spots in the gauge cluster. Pulling into a tight spot at Mayfair Mall gets easier with the available 360° Surround View Monitor, and the Rear Occupant Alert w/ Radar Sensors adds helpful peace of mind when you park and lock up. It’s a comprehensive, modern approach to driver assistance.

In a crowded three-row field, the Telluride stacks up impressively against popular choices like the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Hyundai Palisade, Chevrolet Traverse, Volkswagen Atlas, and Nissan Pathfinder. Many rivals make their most helpful camera systems or larger displays exclusive to top trims; the Telluride counters with an available nearly 30-inch digital cockpit and available 360° Surround View Monitor that transforms tight-parking confidence near The Village of Wauwatosa. The X-Pro SX Prestige goes further than most off-road-themed competitors with recovery hooks, an available X-Pro Ground View Monitor, and 9.1 inches of clearance on all-terrain tires. Families will also appreciate class-leading second-row legroom—in day-to-day use, that space advantage is more noticeable than spec-sheet-only features. Add up to 29 available driver assistance features and strong towing on gas models, and the Telluride feels like a well-rounded fit for Wauwatosa’s mix of neighborhood streets, freeway connectors, and weekend road trips.
