If there’s one SUV that consistently grabs attention here at Frank Boucher Kia of Racine, it’s the Kia Telluride. Families love it. Adventurers love it. Even daily commuters who just want something comfortable and confident on the road end up gravitating toward it. And with the refreshed 2027 Kia Telluride rolling in, the excitement is only growing. One of the biggest questions drivers ask is simple: Which trim is right for me—and what’s the price difference?
The good news is that Kia keeps the Telluride lineup straightforward while still giving you plenty of ways to match your lifestyle. Whether you’re after premium comfort, rugged capability, or a mix of both, there’s a trim that fits without feeling overwhelming. Below is a breakdown of the 2027 Telluride trims—EX, SX, X-Line SX, SX Prestige, and X-Line SX Prestige—along with what each one brings to the table and the pricing you can expect.
The EX is where the Telluride really starts to feel upscale. You get that signature bold exterior, but the interior is what tends to surprise people. Comfortable seating, heated and ventilated front seats, a large touchscreen, and a smooth, quiet ride all come standard. It’s the kind of trim that feels premium without pushing into luxury‑price territory.
The EX is perfect for drivers who want comfort and technology without going overboard. It’s also one of the best values in the entire lineup, offering many features that other brands reserve for higher trims.
Highlights:
Move up to the SX, and the Telluride takes on a more refined personality. This trim adds premium touches that elevate the cabin and driving experience. You’ll notice upgraded interior materials, a premium audio system, and additional driver‑focused features that make long trips feel effortless.
The SX is a great fit for drivers who want a little more luxury and technology while staying practical.
Highlights:
If you’re someone who likes the idea of taking the Telluride beyond the pavement—or you just want a more rugged look—the X-Line SX is the sweet spot. It builds on the SX’s comfort and tech but adds capability‑focused upgrades.
The X-Line models are designed for drivers who want confidence in rougher conditions, whether that’s a snowy Wisconsin winter or a weekend trip up north.
Highlights:
The SX Prestige is where the Telluride steps fully into luxury territory. Everything about this trim feels elevated—from the materials to the technology to the overall driving experience. It’s the kind of SUV that makes every drive feel like a treat, whether you’re heading to work or taking a long family road trip.
Drivers who choose the SX Prestige usually want the most comfort and refinement possible without jumping into a luxury‑brand price bracket.
Highlights:
This trim blends the rugged capability of the X-Line with the upscale feel of the SX Prestige. It’s the most complete version of the Telluride—luxurious, capable, and ready for just about anything. If you want the best of both worlds, this is the trim that delivers.
It’s ideal for drivers who want premium comfort but also plan to take advantage of the Telluride’s towing, all‑weather capability, or weekend‑adventure versatility.
Highlights:
Choosing a trim really comes down to how you plan to use your Telluride. If you want value and comfort, the EX is a fantastic starting point. If you want luxury touches, the SX or SX Prestige will feel right at home. And if capability is a priority, the X-Line models are built for exactly that.
