No 2026 Redesign — Here’s Why
Kia skipped a distinct 2026 model-year Telluride, carrying the final first-generation V6 SUV through the 2026 selling season instead of publishing new-year pricing. An all-new, second-generation Telluride — including the brand’s first-ever Telluride Hybrid — arrives for model year 2027.
That means the pricing above is Kia’s last officially published Telluride price sheet — and it’s exactly what’s in stock at Dean McCrary Kia right now, at a proven value versus the redesigned 2027.
The Proven 3.8L V6
No turbo, no hybrid — just the naturally-aspirated V6 that has powered every Telluride since 2020, in its final production year.

Is There Really a 2026 Kia Telluride?⌄
Kia did not publish a distinct 2026 model-year Telluride — the automaker carried the final first-generation Telluride, unchanged 3.8L V6 and all, through the 2026 selling season and moved straight to an all-new second-generation Telluride for 2027. What’s shown here is Kia’s last officially published Telluride price sheet, and it’s exactly what’s in stock at Dean McCrary Kia today.
Which 2026 Telluride Trim Is the Best Value?⌄
For most families, the EX — nicer cabin materials and more standard tech at a mid-ladder price, and it’s the entry point for both the X-Line and X-Pro packages. Want the flagship experience? The SX Prestige adds Nappa leather, a head-up display, and a heated/ventilated second row.
How Much Can the 2026 Telluride Tow?⌄
Up to 5,000 pounds properly equipped on most trims, and up to 5,500 pounds on the X-Pro, which pairs its towing bump with 8.4 inches of ground clearance — 0.4 inch more than other trims.

X-Line is the adventure-styling package — standard AWD, blacked-out trim, and roof rails — available on EX, SX, and SX Prestige. X-Pro adds real hardware: all-terrain tires and 8.4" of ground clearance, for up to 5,500 lb of towing, but only on the EX and SX Prestige (there is no plain SX X-Pro). Shop X-Pro inventory.
