2027 Kia Telluride MSRP vs. Invoice Price by Trim

If you're shopping for a new 2027 Kia Telluride, knowing both the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) and dealer invoice price gives you a useful starting point before negotiating with a Kia dealer.

The redesigned 2027 Telluride is available with gasoline and hybrid powertrains, along with several front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. Understanding the difference between MSRP and invoice helps you evaluate a dealer's offer, although invoice isn't necessarily the dealership's true net cost or the lowest price it may accept.

But before getting to the numbers ...

Can You Buy a 2027 Kia Telluride Below Invoice Price?

I get this question all the time. And the answer is, yes. Buying a new Telluride below invoice is quite possible, mostly because invoice price isn't necessarily even the dealership's true net cost. Manufacturer programs, dealer incentives, holdback and other financial arrangements may influence what a dealer ultimately has invested in a particular vehicle.

There's also the dealership's individual motivation to consider. A dealer with several similar Tellurides in inventory may be more flexible than one that has only a single example of a particular trim. End-of-month sales objectives, local competition and the desire to complete one more sale can also influence negotiating decisions.

How to Buy at or Below Invoice

Buying below invoice is definitely doable when you're able to identify the Kia dealer in your area most motivated, for whatever specific reason it may have, to make price concessions. Not every dealer will be willing to go that low, but finding one that is isn't particularly unusual. And you don't have to be an expert negotiator to find out. The process is actually quite easy.

Here's how I do it: Before you start negotiating, please see how I approach buying a new car at or below invoice.

What Is the Invoice Price of a 2027 Kia Telluride?

The 2027 Kia Telluride has a base MSRP ranging from $39,190 for the gasoline LX FWD to $57,590 for the Hybrid X-Line SX Prestige AWD. Published dealer invoice reference prices range from $38,211 to $55,575.

The table covers all 18 gasoline and hybrid configurations, using Kia's official MSRPs and published 2027 dealer invoice figures.

Pricing notes: Prices exclude Kia's $1,545 destination charge, factory options, taxes and dealer fees. FWD means front-wheel drive; AWD means all-wheel drive. Invoice figures are third-party published reference amounts, not Kia-certified factory invoice documents, and may differ from an individual dealership's actual invoice or net cost.

How Much Is the Difference Between Invoice and MSRP on a 2027 Kia Telluride?

The difference between MSRP and published invoice ranges from $979 on the gasoline LX FWD to $2,015 on the Hybrid X-Line SX Prestige AWD.

For example, the gasoline SX FWD has a $48,790 MSRP and a $47,083 invoice price, a difference of $1,707. The Hybrid SX FWD has a $51,490 MSRP and a $49,687 invoice, a difference of $1,803.

These figures help put dealer discounts into perspective. However, the entire difference isn't necessarily negotiable dealer profit, and invoice price doesn't establish the lowest selling price a particular dealership might accept.

How Much More Does a 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid Cost at Invoice?

The Telluride Hybrid EX FWD has a $46,490 MSRP and a $45,327 invoice price, compared with $43,790 MSRP and $42,696 invoice for the gasoline EX FWD. That's a difference of $2,700 at MSRP and $2,631 at invoice.

The price difference is similar on the other comparable trims. For example, the Hybrid SX FWD costs $2,700 more at MSRP and $2,604 more at invoice than the gasoline SX FWD.

There are meaningful performance and fuel economy differences. The hybrid produces 329 horsepower, compared with 274 horsepower for the gasoline model. The Hybrid EX FWD earns an EPA-estimated 35 mpg combined, versus 22 mpg for the gasoline FWD version.

One equipment distinction is also worth noting: the gasoline EX has an eight-passenger second-row bench seat, while the Hybrid EX has seven-passenger seating with second-row captain's chairs.

When comparing the additional hybrid cost, consider how much you drive, expected fuel savings and whether the different seating arrangement suits your needs.

How Much Does AWD Add to the 2027 Kia Telluride Invoice Price?

All-wheel drive adds $2,000 to MSRP and $1,950 to published invoice on the gasoline S and EX, as well as the Hybrid EX.

For example, the gasoline EX FWD has a $42,696 invoice price, compared with $44,646 for the EX AWD. Other trims, including X-Line, X-Pro and Hybrid SX Prestige, already include AWD in their base prices.

How Do the 2027 Kia Telluride X-Line and X-Pro Invoice Prices Compare?

The X-Line emphasizes rugged styling and added AWD capability, while the gasoline-only X-Pro includes more specialized off-road equipment, such as all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance and an electronic limited-slip differential.

The X-Line SX Prestige AWD has a $54,890 MSRP and a $52,968 invoice price. The X-Pro SX Prestige AWD costs $56,790 at MSRP and $54,803 at invoice, a difference of $1,900 at MSRP and $1,835 at invoice.

The X-Pro's additional equipment makes it a different proposition from the X-Line, particularly for buyers interested in off-road driving. When comparing prices, make sure you're considering the equipment and capabilities you actually want.

What Is a Good Discount From MSRP on a New 2027 Kia Telluride?

There isn't one discount that represents a good deal on every 2027 Telluride. The answer depends on the trim, local inventory, available Kia incentives and how motivated the dealership is to make the sale.

Knowing invoice does, however, give you a useful way to evaluate an advertised discount.

Consider the gasoline Telluride SX FWD, with a $48,790 MSRP and a $47,083 invoice price. If a dealer discounts the base vehicle by $1,500, the selling price becomes $47,290, or just $207 above the published invoice figure.

That's a more useful comparison than simply knowing the dealer reduced the sticker price by $1,500. Of course, it doesn't mean every dealer will offer that discount, or that a larger discount is necessarily unavailable.

Individual dealership circumstances and local competition can make a considerable difference.

Also, be careful when evaluating Kia rebates and financing offers. An advertised selling price may include manufacturer incentives that some buyers don't qualify for, or that cannot be combined with certain financing programs.

Ask the dealer to separate its own price reduction from any Kia incentives you're eligible to receive.

When comparing dealer offers, make sure the quoted prices account for Kia's $1,545 destination charge, optional equipment and any dealer-added fees. The lowest advertised price isn't necessarily the best deal.

Most importantly, knowing invoice gives you a valuable pricing reference, but it doesn't tell you the lowest price a particular Kia dealer may be willing to accept.

Bottom Line

The 2027 Kia Telluride has an MSRP-to-invoice spread ranging from $979 on the gasoline LX FWD to $2,015 on the Hybrid X-Line SX Prestige AWD. The exact difference depends on the trim, powertrain and drivetrain.

Knowing the dealer invoice price gives you a valuable advantage when negotiating for a new Kia Telluride. You have a better idea of where to begin, what constitutes a competitive offer, and how much room there may be for price concessions. The next step is finding a dealer willing to work with those numbers.

Also, Your Current Vehicle

It's good to always know the value of your present vehicle, whether you may trade it, sell it, or simply keep track of its value as an asset.

I think the two most accurate trade-in appraisal services are Edmunds and Kelley Blue Book.

By averaging the two appraisals, you'll have a good idea of what your car is actually worth. They're both free, of course, and only take a couple of minutes.
