2027 Kia Telluride Service and Repair Manual

The second-generation Telluride debuts for 2027, and the V6 is gone: gas models now use a 274-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged four with an eight-speed automatic, while a new turbo hybrid pairs that engine with electric motors and a 1.65 kWh battery for 329 horsepower and a six-speed automatic. Gas trims run LX to X-Pro SX Prestige; the Hybrid comes as EX, SX, SX Prestige and X-Line. With a new platform and powertrains, nothing carries over from 2025, so this service and repair manual supplies the 2027 procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules.

Known issues on the 2027 Telluride. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The third-row center seat belt buckle may not latch properly; on Hybrid SX Prestige and X-Line SX Prestige models with the Executive Package, the second-row power seats may fail to detect a person and keep moving; and the driver seat belt retractor may lock so the belt will not extend. Owners have filed 32 complaints, including seat belts, powertrain and electrical system reports. This manual includes the seat belt anchorage torque values, seat wiring diagrams and module diagnostics behind those repairs.
