From South Side Commutes to Cross-Country Towing

It's Saturday morning. The kids' gear is piled high. The weather forecast is already looking unpredictable. You need a vehicle that doesn't just keep up. You need one that leads the charge. Enter the completely redesigned 2027 Kia Telluride.

For the 2027 model year, Kia took the ultimate family SUV and gave it serious muscle. Whether you are navigating the historic, tree-lined streets of the Beverly and Morgan Park neighborhoods or escaping the city for a weekend at the lake, this SUV is built to adapt. At Evergreen Kia, located at 9205 S Western Ave in the heart of the community, we understand that drivers need everyday comfort and weekend-ready capability. Here is how the new Telluride bridges the gap.

Everyday Driving: Conquering the Concrete Jungle

Stop-and-go traffic is a daily reality on the South Side. When you are stuck near the bustling intersection of 95th and Cicero in Oak Lawn, you need smooth, predictable power.

Kia retired the old V6 and introduced two highly advanced powertrains designed for instant response. The standard 2.5-liter Turbocharged engine delivers 274 horsepower and a massive 311 lb-ft of torque. That means merging onto the expressway feels effortless. For the eco-conscious commuter, the first-ever Telluride Turbo-Hybrid delivers an incredible 329 combined horsepower and up to 35 MPG, drastically reducing your trips to the pump in Evergreen Park.

Add in the available Active All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with a Center-Locking Differential, and you have the ultimate defense against Chicago snowstorms. It actively monitors road conditions, shifting power to the wheels with the most grip before you ever feel a slip.

Weekend Adventure: Built to Haul and Crawl

When the pavement ends, the 2027 Telluride truly shines. It is no longer just a stylish suburban cruiser. It is a legitimate towing and trail-ready machine.

The newly standardized towing capacities mean you can hitch up the camper or the boat with total confidence. Need to go further off the grid? The legendary X-Pro trim returns, transforming the Telluride into a rugged weekend warrior.

The X-Pro Advantage

If your adventures take you far beyond Chicago's city limits, the X-Pro trim is engineered specifically for you. It boasts exclusive hardware designed to tackle the toughest terrain:

• 9.1 Inches of Ground Clearance: A massive lift to clear rocks, deep snow, and uneven trails without scraping the undercarriage.
• 18-Inch All-Terrain Tires: Factory-installed rubber designed to grip loose dirt, mud, and gravel.
• Electronic Limited-Slip Differential: Automatically detects wheel slip and redirects power to the wheels with traction, pulling you out of sticky situations.
• Heavy-Duty Engine Cooling: Helps maintain optimal engine temperatures during demanding towing trips.
