As the entry-level edition, the LX is ideal for drivers who want a little bit of everything: turbocharged power, seating for up to eight passengers, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen display to easily see navigation. Plus, this model helps keep your most precious cargo safe with 19 collision avoidance and safety assist features.
With the S trim, the Kia Telluride seating becomes more refined. Instead of using an eight-seater configuration, the model swaps out the second-row bench seat for a pair of comfortable captain's chairs. Other additions include heated front seats and greater power adjustability for the driver's seat.
For the EX, the Telluride revisits the eight-passenger seating capacity, but equips much of the conveniences delivered by the S trim. That means that while the EX is the last of the Kia Telluride models to boast standard eight-passenger seating, it also has heated front seats. Plus, it adds front-seat ventilation, and sunshades for the second row.
Your car shouldn't feel like a chore to drive, and the X-Line EX ensures that it is not. A heated steering wheel is added to the roster, making it a great vehicle to drive in the winter months, and special X-Line elements give it a bold visual appeal that haven't appeared in any of the previous Kia Telluride trim levels to this point.
Of all the Kia Telluride trim levels this year, the SX might be the most appealing to those who love a high-tech ride. With two sunroofs, driver's seat memory settings, and a more advanced Meridian premium audio system, this ride is a pleasure in the front seat.
If you're searching for all-terrain conquering performance, the X-Line SX is a great option with 21-inch wheels, high-utility roof rails, LED projector fog lights, and exclusive styling.
Drivers who want to hit the trails or spend weekends doing some off-the-grid camping will love the 9.1-inch ground clearance at the level. Also included are all-terrain tires and an Off-Road Info Display.
Optimize your comfort with the SX Prestige. Your passengers can enjoy heated and ventilated second-row seats while you explore the large 12-inch Head-Up Display.
Choose this trim if you're searching for a model that prioritizes comfort without skipping exclusive X-Line design elements and excellent road traction with 21-inch wheels.
As the Kia Telluride highest trim available, this level gives you everything: enhanced ground clearance, all-terrain tires, special interior trim, and an Off-Road Info Display.

Several Kia Telluride trims come with captain's seats for the second row, though the Kia Telluride eight-seater configuration is standard. For example, consider the S trim to benefit from a seven-passenger capacity and second-row captain's chairs. The X-Line EX and every other trim above also follow this same setup. This makes the LX and EX the only eight-passenger options in the 2027 lineup.
The main difference among the Kia Telluride models this year is in reference to their exterior and interior styling and provisions. Seating capacity and conveniences are also part of those differences, with the base-level model offering an eight-passenger capacity, while most others opt for a seven-passenger configuration. Our specialists can give you a more in-depth look at the trims when you visit our dealership.
The 2027 Kia Telluride can be configured with either seven or eight seats. The entry-level LX and the third-level EX come with an eight-passenger capacity that uses a three-seat bench in the second and third rows. The rest of the trims use a seven-seater configuration, which uses second-row captain's chairs in lieu of a bench seat.

The staff is professional, helpful, and honest, and they consistently make the process smooth and stress-free. I really appreciate the clear communication and the time they take to answer questions. Highly recommend.
