The 2027 Kia Telluride is a full redesign, not a refresh, for Bowie buyers

Kia America’s launch release calls the 2027 Telluride an all-new model, and the hybrid is the nameplate’s first-ever hybrid (Kia America, 2025). That makes it a new vehicle from the platform up rather than a styling update.

For a Bowie shopper, that means comparing the 2027 on its own prices and EPA ratings, not on the trim name.

What engine does the 2027 Telluride use?

The 2027 Telluride uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an eight-speed automatic (fueleconomy.gov, 2027).

EPA rates the front-drive gas model at 22 mpg combined (fueleconomy.gov, 2027). That is the number to weigh if most of your miles are short trips around Bowie.

The hybrid runs a 6-speed automatic that sends power to an available all-wheel-drive system (Kia America, 2025). EPA rates the front-drive hybrid at 33 mpg combined (fueleconomy.gov, 2027). The all-wheel-drive hybrid is rated at 31 mpg combined (fueleconomy.gov, 2027).

If fuel cost is your first concern, the hybrid is the stronger choice. If you want the lower starting price, the gas model fits better.

What does the X-Pro trim cost, and what mileage does it get?

Kia lists the 2027 X-Pro SX at $53,690 and the X-Pro SX Prestige at $56,790 (Kia, 2027). The X-Pro is all-wheel drive, and the EPA rates it at 19 mpg combined, against 20 mpg for the gas all-wheel-drive Telluride (fueleconomy.gov, 2027).

Which Telluride suits a Bowie driver: gas, hybrid or prior generation?

The gas Telluride is the lower-priced pick. The hybrid is the fuel-saving pick.

Starting prices begin at $39,190 for the gas LX (Kia America, 2027). The Telluride Hybrid starts at $46,490 for the EX, the lowest-priced hybrid trim (Kia, 2027).

A family that wants lower fuel costs should take the hybrid.

When does a certified pre-owned Telluride fit a Bowie budget better than a new 2027?

A certified pre-owned Telluride fits when it meets Kia’s rules: it is less than 6 years old, it has 80,000 miles or fewer, and it passes a 165-point inspection by a Kia factory-trained technician (Kia America, 2026).

The powertrain warranty is different on a certified pre-owned car. Kia’s certified pre-owned page says its 10-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty starts on the vehicle’s original in-service date, not on the day you buy it. Its 1-year, 12,000-mile Comprehensive Platinum Coverage starts on the purchase date and mileage.

That timing is the main difference from a new 2027. Check the in-service date and the mileage before you assume a certified pre-owned car has the same coverage left as a new one.

What taxes and fees apply to a new Telluride bought in Bowie, Maryland?

A Maryland buyer pays the state’s vehicle excise tax on the purchase price, plus title and registration fees. In its 2026 bulletin on taxable price, the MVA says the excise tax for most vehicles is 6.5% of the total purchase price (MDOT MVA, 2026).

The taxable price includes shipping or freight charges and the dealer processing fee, which can be up to $800 for Maryland dealers (MDOT MVA, 2026). The state subtracts a trade-in allowance from the taxable price (Maryland Transportation Article, Section 13-809). A trade-in lowers the amount you pay tax on.

The title certificate costs $200 (MDOT MVA, 2025). Annual registration for a passenger car runs $125.50 at a shipping weight of 3,500 to 3,700 pounds, and $191.50 above 3,700 pounds (MDOT MVA, 2025).
