2027 Kia Telluride X-Pro
Entry 012 in the Garage. The new establishment in matte Terrain: 9.1 inches of clearance, 30 inches of screen, heated and cooled second row, and a cabin that moves you up a class. The son test found the one thing missing.

The Good
- Heated AND cooled second row at this price
- Feels like you moved up a class inside
- Real X-Pro hardware: eLSD, 9.1 inches, 5K tow
- Wider captain’s chairs fit real-sized parents
- Matte Terrain is the fun color these deserve
The Bad
- No X-factor, and the son test confirmed it
- Pilot feels quicker despite Kia’s torque math
- Full-size stroller will not fit behind row three
- Synthetic suede durability is an open question
