Record summary
What to know first
The redesigned 2027 Telluride replaces the V6 with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four making 274 horsepower and adds the first-ever Telluride Hybrid at 329 horsepower combined (EX is the hybrid entry point). X-Line, X-Pro and Prestige combinations create a broad marketed trim matrix with different capability, styling and cabin equipment.
Model-year note
The X-Line and X-Pro suffixes are configuration branches, not standalone features that apply across the range. MY2027 real additions: the 2.5L turbo four (274 hp, 311 lb-ft) replaces the V6 and a first-ever hybrid (329 hp, 339 lb-ft combined) starts at EX; SX gains a dual panoramic curved display, Meridian Premium Audio and dual sunroofs; SX Prestige adds Nappa leather, a head-up display and heated/ventilated second-row seats; X-Pro gets real off-road hardware. 9.1 inches of ground clearance and all-terrain tires, not just cosmetic badging.
