The Telluride: The SUV That Redefined Kia — Now Better Than Ever

When the original Kia Telluride debuted, it changed everything people thought about Kia. Suddenly, a Korean brand was producing a three-row family SUV that beat established luxury nameplate competitors in interior quality, standard features, and value — and winning award after award while doing it. The Telluride became a cultural phenomenon.

For 2026, Kia took that winning formula and made it bigger, more powerful, more capable, and more premium. The Telluride posted record monthly sales upon the launch of the second-generation model, underscoring that the buzz is real and demand is at an all-time high.

This 4th of July, Viva Kia El Paso invites you to celebrate American freedom in the SUV that proved Kia plays in the big leagues.

All-New Powertrain: More Power, More Torque, More Fun

The most significant mechanical change in the 2026 Telluride is the complete replacement of the outgoing 3.8L V6 with an all-new engine:

New Standard Engine: 2.5L Turbocharged Inline-4

• 274 horsepower — more than the outgoing V6
• 311 lb-ft of torque — 50+ lb-ft more than the previous engine; strong low-end pull
• 8-speed automatic transmission
• Front-wheel drive standard; AWD available on most trims
• 0-60 mph in approximately 6.5 seconds
• Fuel economy: approximately 22 MPG city / 29 MPG highway (FWD)

New Available Hybrid Powertrain

• 329 combined horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque — exceptional power for a family three-row SUV
• Pairs the 2.5L turbo engine with an electric motor for added efficiency and performance
• Expected to arrive mid-to-late 2026 — ask your Viva Kia team about availability and waitlist

The shift from a naturally aspirated V6 to a turbocharged four-cylinder follows the same trend as the Toyota RAV4 and Grand Cherokee — and for good reason. The turbo four delivers more torque at lower RPMs, meaning better real-world responsiveness in traffic, on highway merges, and when towing.

Towing capacity: up to 5,000 lbs standard; the X-Pro trim adds heavy-duty cooling and trailer stability assist.

All-New Design: More Space, More Style, More Presence

The 2026 Telluride grows in every important dimension:

• Longer wheelbase — translating directly into more rear-seat legroom, more third-row comfort, and more cargo space behind the third row
• 21 cubic feet behind the third row; expands to 87 cubic feet with all seats folded — class-competitive cargo
• 8.4 inches of ground clearance — standard across the lineup; X-Pro raises this further
• Bold new front fascia with a restyled grille and slimmer LED headlights
• New 20-inch wheel designs on mid-trim; 21-inch wheels on SX Prestige
• Available new exterior colors for 2026 including Midnight Lake Blue
• Acoustic glass for windshield and front side windows on upper trims — creates a noticeably quieter cabin

• Heated and ventilated front seats with memory function (SX and above)
• Second-row relaxation seats with extended legroom recline available on EX and above

The All-New X-Pro Trim: El Paso’s Adventure Telluride

The most exciting new addition to the 2026 Telluride lineup is the brand-new X-Pro — Kia’s first serious off-road-capable Telluride:

• Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (E-LSD) — improves traction on loose or slippery surfaces
• Raised suspension with increased ground clearance: 231 mm (9.1 inches) — up from the standard 8.4 inches
• Dedicated terrain drive modes: Gravel, Mud, and Slippery surfaces
• Standard AWD with enhanced calibration for off-road use
• Heavy-duty cooling package for sustained towing performance
• Trailer stability assist for greater confidence when towing
• 5,500-lb towing capacity — higher than standard Telluride trims
• Rugged exterior styling exclusive to X-Pro
• All SX-level comfort and technology features included

For El Paso families who want the space and comfort of the Telluride but also want to venture off the pavement — toward the Sacramento Mountains, White Sands, or Hueco Tanks — the X-Pro is the Telluride for you.

Safety: 19 Active Safety Systems Standard — Even on the Base LX

Seating comfort:

• LX/S: SynTex synthetic leatherette (durable, easy-clean, premium feel)
• EX/SX/X-Line/X-Pro: Genuine leather with heated front and rear seats
• SX Prestige: Nappa leather — soft, premium, and exclusive to the top trim
• Available relaxation seats in the second row — extended recline for long trips

2026 Kia Telluride vs. The Competition

The Telluride’s 5,000–5,500-lb towing capacity dramatically outpaces the Highlander and Pilot, both of which are limited to 3,500 lbs. And the new X-Pro off-road trim is something neither the Highlander nor the Pilot can match.
