2027 Kia Telluride Near Turlock: Valley Kia of Modesto Is 15 Minutes Away
If you’re in Turlock and the all-new 2027 Kia Telluride has been on your radar, the drive to Valley Kia of Modesto is about 15 minutes north on Highway 99. That’s a short trip to see one of the most significant redesigns in the three-row SUV segment in years — a second-generation Telluride with a first-ever hybrid option, a bigger interior, more cargo room, and a technology package that raises the bar considerably from the outgoing model.
We’re at 4369 McHenry Ave in Modesto. The 2027 Telluride arrived in Q1 2026 and inventory moves — contact us to check current availability or come in and see what we have on the lot.
What’s New on the 2027 Telluride
The short version for Turlock buyers who’ve been following the previous generation: this is a genuine ground-up redesign, not a refresh. The wheelbase grows 2.7 inches. Overall length adds 2.3 inches. The V6 engine is replaced by Kia’s 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque — 49 more lb-ft than the V6 it replaces. And for the first time in Telluride history, a hybrid powertrain is available: up to 329 horsepower, Kia-estimated 35 MPG combined, and a total estimated driving range of around 600 miles.
The exterior is bolder and more angular. The interior takes a meaningful step up in material quality with available features — power leg rests, Ergo Motion massage function for the driver, a 12-inch head-up display — that were previously the domain of much more expensive vehicles. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on every trim. Built-in streaming for Disney+, Netflix, and YouTube is available through Kia’s Entertainment and Data Services. The Kia myQ Connected Garage system uses geo-fencing to automatically open or close your garage as you approach or leave home.
The Hybrid Is a Big Deal for Turlock Commuters
Turlock sits at an interesting point in the Central Valley commuter map. North to Modesto is 15 minutes. South to Merced is 30. The 99 to Fresno is an hour. A lot of Turlock households are putting meaningful highway miles on their vehicles every week, and the Telluride Hybrid’s estimated 35 MPG combined and 600-mile range are numbers that change the fuel cost math significantly compared to a conventional SUV. The hybrid system is self-charging — no plug-in required — so there’s nothing to adapt to. You drive it like any other vehicle, and the efficiency happens in the background.
For Turlock families running the Monte Vista-to-Modesto corridor for work, or the Fulkerth Road to Highway 99 commute south, that efficiency story is worth doing the math on over a 3- or 4-year ownership period.
The X-Pro for Turlock-Area Drivers Who Go Further
Turlock’s location puts it within reasonable distance of some genuinely good outdoor destinations — Don Pedro Lake is under 45 minutes east on 132, and the roads heading toward La Grange and the Tuolumne River watershed start not far past that. For buyers who want a Telluride that can handle more than paved surfaces, the 2027 X-Pro delivers 9.1 inches of ground clearance, wider all-terrain tires, an electronic limited-slip differential, a multi-terrain AWD mode, front and rear recovery points, and the new Ground View Monitor that shows the ground directly below the front bumper when driving below 6 mph. It’s the most capable Telluride ever offered, and it still seats eight.
Trim Options at Valley Kia
The 2027 Telluride is offered in LX, S, EX, SX, SX Prestige, X-Line, and X-Pro trims. The hybrid powertrain is available starting at the EX trim. Each level adds meaningfully to the feature set: LX covers the capable baseline, EX is where premium content and the hybrid option begin, SX adds ventilated seating and Bose audio, SX Prestige brings the full luxury package, and X-Pro is the off-road flagship. Current inventory at Valley Kia varies — contact us or check online before making the drive to confirm what’s available in the trim you want.
