Next-gen 2027 Kia Telluride X-Pro teased ahead of LA Auto Show
Get an early look at the 2027 Kia Telluride X-Pro before its LA Auto Show debut: rugged stance, AWD lock, Snow and Tow modes, more clearance, off-road cred.
Kia has released another teaser for the next-generation Telluride crossover, which will debut on November 20 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The clip and photos spotlight the X-Pro, the most off-road-focused version of the model.
The second-generation Telluride adopts a more substantial body and upsized proportions. In testing in California, the SUV moved confidently through sand and water, underscoring the return of the X-Pro. This variant will keep the all-wheel-drive lock function, Snow and Tow modes, and increased ground clearance. For buyers who use their SUVs beyond pavement, retaining those tools feels like the right move.
The new camouflage, created by Kia America’s designers, hides the body lines with graphic patterns. Even so, the heftier stance comes through, hinting at a bolder road presence.
The 2027 model is promised to be the most capable Telluride to date and to strengthen Kia’s position among top 2026 off-road SUVs, where the Honda Pilot TrailSport and Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro are in the mix. The target is clear: a family hauler that can credibly venture farther off the beaten path.
