US-Built 2027 Kia Telluride Revealed In First Photos
The all-new Kia Telluride will make its debut at the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show, but Kia is offering a sneak peek at what to expect.
The automaker has released the first two teaser images of the upcoming Georgia-built SUV.
The shaded images show it to have a crisper, more slab-sided style than the current model, which is Kia’s third-best seller in the U.S. despite being its most expensive offering.
It has a very blunt front end and distinct drop fender design, while the overhead view reveals a subtle Coke bottle shape and dual sunroofs.

Kia hasn’t said what to expect as far as powertrains are concerned, but the new 2026 Hyundai Palisade that it shares a common platform with offers some hints.
The Palisade is availble with a 287 hp 3.6-liter V6 or a hybrid powertrain based around a 258 hp turbocharged four-cylinder that delivers a top EPA fuel economy rating of 34 mpg combined.
