From class-leading 2nd-row legroom to a rugged X-Pro trim and a long list of available driver assistance features, this new-generation Telluride is designed to make everyday family life simple and weekend plans more exciting. If you’re comparing options near Madison, WI, think of this page as your local research hub and buying guide. We outline performance and capability, cabin tech, safety systems, and trims so you can quickly decide which Telluride matches your routine across the Beltline, County Highway M, and those longer I-39/90 getaways.
Powertrain choices now include a turbocharged gas engine and a turbo-hybrid that boosts output while adding everyday efficiency. Throughout the lineup, you’ll find thoughtful touches—USB-C ports in all three rows, available nearly 30 inches of combined digital displays, and camera-based assistance that helps during parallel parking on Monroe Street or backing out near Capitol Square.

Telluride’s performance story starts with confident turbo power and ends with capability that suits Wisconsin roads year-round. The 2.5-liter turbocharged gas engine delivers 274 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque for confident merging on US-12/18 and easy passing on rural two-lanes. With up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity on gas models, you can bring a small camper or pair of personal watercraft to Lake Mendota or Lake Kegonsa. Available All-Wheel Drive with Terrain Mode and an available Electronic Limited Slip Differential help route power where it’s needed most, while the trail-ready X-Pro trim adds 9.1 inches of ground clearance, recovery hooks, and all-terrain tires for extra confidence on unpaved routes to state parks. If you want more power with less time at the pump, the 2027 Telluride Hybrid features a 2.5L turbo-hybrid system with 329 horsepower and up to 4,500 pounds of towing capacity on select configurations, blending energetic response with everyday practicality.
Every Telluride cabin is built around real-world comfort and intuitive control. Families will appreciate the roomy layout and easy-access 3rd row, plus thoughtful storage and an available smart cargo table function that makes organizing gear simple. Up front, available nearly 30 inches of combined digital screens bring navigation, media, and vehicle information into a crisp, cohesive interface. The available Meridian Premium Audio fills the three-row space with rich sound, while dual wireless chargers and USB-C ports across all rows make device management effortless. Whether you’re loading up for morning drop-offs on Whitney Way or heading out for a long weekend, Telluride is the calm, connected space that keeps everyone comfortable and engaged.
With up to 29 available driver assistance and collision avoidance features, the 2027 Telluride is engineered to support your awareness in a range of situations. From the Beltline to the busy East Washington Avenue corridor, Highway Driving Assist 2 can help reduce workload on longer stretches by assisting with lane centering and even lane changes when conditions allow. Enhanced Auto Emergency Braking Technologies are designed to detect hazards ahead, including certain intersection scenarios, and can help apply brakes or assist steering in specific conditions. Camera-based systems like the Blind-Spot View Monitor and 360° Surround View Monitor can make parking near the Overture Center or tight neighborhood streets less stressful. It’s smart, confidence-inspiring help you’ll appreciate day in and day out.

Many three-row SUVs promise space, but few deliver adult-friendly 2nd-row comfort like Telluride—especially helpful when carpooling coworkers across the Beltline. Some rivals limit camera-based assistance to top trims or deliver less refined interfaces; Telluride offers widely available Blind-Spot View Monitor and a clear, intuitive 360° Surround View Monitor to make downtown and neighborhood parking less stressful. Adventure-focused shoppers will also find that competitive SUVs often lack the Telluride X-Pro’s combination of ground clearance, recovery hooks, and terrain-focused displays. Add the available panoramic digital cockpit, dual wireless chargers, and a turbo-hybrid option that brings strong power with everyday practicality, and you’ll see why Telluride feels tailored to Madison, WI, drivers who want comfort, confidence, and capability in equal measure.
