The 2027 Kia Telluride X-Pro specs centre on a 274-hp, 2.5-litre turbo four with an 8-speed automatic, a 5,000 lb maximum tow rating and 9.1 inches of ground clearance. The X-Pro is Kia’s trail-focused version of the redesigned three-row Telluride, with all-terrain tires, an electronic limited-slip differential and recovery points.
Quick answer: 274 hp and 311 lb-ft from a 2.5L turbo four, 8-speed automatic, up to 5,000 lb towing (with the right equipment), 9.1 in ground clearance, 199.2 in length, 116.9 in wheelbase and 22.3 cu ft of cargo behind the third row. A separate 329-hp hybrid also exists but is a different model line.

What makes the X-Pro different
The X-Pro is more than an appearance package. Kia lists the following hardware for it.
- Wider all-terrain tires as standard
- An exclusive suspension setup with extra stroke
- An electronic limited-slip differential that shifts power front-to-rear and side-to-side
- A centre differential lock that holds a 50/50 front-rear split in Multi-Terrain mode
- Front and rear recovery points
- Terrain Mode, a Ground View Monitor and ground lighting
Ground clearance and extra traction help on rough roads, snow and trails, but they do not make the Telluride a rock crawler. Tires, load and driver judgment still set the limits.
Towing and cargo
Kia rates the turbo Telluride to tow up to 5,000 lb, and the X-Pro comes with an integrated tow hitch. Actual capacity depends on passengers, cargo and trailer weight, so check the owner’s manual and door-jamb label. If towing is a priority, compare it with our SUV towing capacity chart and the list of SUVs that can tow 5,000 lb.
Behind the third row the turbo models have 22.3 cu ft. Kia’s lineup-wide maximum cargo figure varies between sources, so check the Canadian spec sheet if you plan to carry bulky loads.
Fuel economy
All-terrain tires and extra ride height usually cost some efficiency compared with road-biased Tellurides. We have not verified an official Canadian L/100 km rating for the X-Pro, so check Natural Resources Canada’s fuel consumption guide once the 2027 ratings are posted.
Who the X-Pro fits
Choose the X-Pro if you drive gravel roads, camp, tow light trailers or deal with deep snow and want a family-sized SUV with a seven-seat cabin. If you stay on pavement, a standard Telluride gives you the same engine and size for less equipment.

What to check before you buy
- Whether your trim has the X-Pro equipment, not just the styling
- The Canadian tow rating and hitch details on the build sheet
- Winter tire options, since all-terrain tires are not true winter tires
- Safety ratings from IIHS and Transport Canada for the 2027 model
