2027 Kia Telluride: Range Rover-inspired styling, 35 mpg hybrid, under-$40k starting price

The 2027 Kia Telluride updates its look with Range Rover–inspired styling, introduces a turbo 2.5L engine or a hybrid making 329 hp with 35 mpg, and starts at $39,190 (plus $1,545 destination) with AWD from about $44k. Hybrid trims run roughly $46.5k–$48.5k. It adds premium interior touches, practical cargo space, and an off-road–ready X-Pro variant with 9.1 inches of ground clearance, E-LSD, and terrain modes. While engine noise under acceleration and a heavy steering feel are minor downsides, the Telluride remains a strong, value-conscious three-row SUV that now competes more closely with near-luxury rivals.

Ford is issuing recalls totaling 616,280 vehicles across three campaigns: 604,533 crossovers (2020–2022 Escape/Explorer and Lincoln Aviator/Corsair) for a windshield-wiper motor defect that can fail and reduce visibility; 11,431 2025–2026 F-250/F-350 trucks with a bad weld risking driveshaft separation; and 316 E-series vans (2026–2027) with a loose backup-alarm connector that may not sound when reversing. Ford initially dismissed the wiper issue in 2021, reopened the probe in 2025 after higher failure rates, and cites 1,374 warranty claims; parts may not be available until May, with dealers replacing affected components as needed.
