KIA RELEASES TEASER IMAGES OF ALL-NEW 2027 TELLURIDE

So, I was shocked to say the least when I read the Telluride will use the 2.5T 4 cylinder as the base motor. They could have at least put the 300hp version in the car (using premium) so it outpowered the old 3.8. I personally believe this is a mistake as a V6 has a much better sound/feel and feel than a turbo 4, no matter the new motor has more torque.

I was surprised, too. I was hoping that they would offer a twin turbo V6 similar to the one used by Genesis. The new Telluride is bigger and the hybrid makes sense for those looking for that option. Making the other option a smaller engine and moving from an eight speed transmission to a six speed transmission is a downgrade in my opinion. I like that the steering wheel adjustments are now motorized as I had that in my previous car. I was really hoping for the dash cam option that the new Palisade has. I like the overall look, but this won't be my next vehicle due to the powertrain options. I really like my current 2024 Telluride and I'll stick with it for the warranty period. If I were in a position that I was ready to replace my current one, it wouldn't be with a 2027 Telluride.

Well.. the engine wasn't what I was expecting either, but when the dealership get them both in I will be going to try them both to see if I like them. I like the rugged one version..
