2027 Kia Telluride S Snow Test Drive and New Features Overview

The Kia Telluride has built its reputation as a rugged, family-friendly SUV with plenty of style — but what happens when you take the all-new 2027 Telluride S model out on a snowy day? Brian and Brittany put it to the test, highlighting not just its performance but also some exciting updates you’ll find in this latest version.

Confident Handling in the Snow

Hopping into the driver’s seat for the first time, Brian wastes no time putting the Telluride S through its paces on snowy and icy roads. Even in normal drive mode, the SUV feels under control and steady, thanks to Kia’s refined all-wheel-drive system. For those tougher conditions, the Telluride S now offers dedicated terrain modes including sand, mud, and, most importantly for the day’s test, snow mode. Switching into snow mode, Brian notes a significant difference — the system carefully manages traction, making it easy to climb slippery hills without losing control. The result? A confident and secure ride, even when Mother Nature isn’t playing nice.

Redesigned Inside and Out

Step inside the 2027 Telluride S, and you’ll find a completely refreshed interior. Brittany points out the new location and design for the shifter — now a sleek knob that’s reminiscent of Kia’s electric vehicles. The dash gets a modern update as well, offering two wireless phone chargers instead of one, and a newly redesigned steering wheel that feels right at home in your hands.

But the upgrades don’t stop there. On the exterior, Kia has given the Telluride a bolder, boxier stance with a full facelift. The headlights and taillights are now more seamlessly integrated into the body, and even the door handles retract for a sophisticated EV-like appearance. It’s all part of an effort to give the Telluride S a standout silhouette that turns heads, whether you’re in the city or driving through a winter wonderland.

Affordable Yet Feature-Packed

Despite all these enhancements, the Telluride S remains Kia’s most affordable all-wheel-drive Telluride, starting in the low $40,000s. Standard safety features and remote start come included, making this family SUV as practical as it is stylish.
