Used Telluride: generations and model years
Used Tellurides for sale span 2 generations in CarWhere's data, with the Second generation (2027–present) on sale new. Knowing which generation a listing belongs to tells you which engines, recalls and known issues apply.
Second generation (2027 redesign) · 2027–presentCurrent
The redesigned 2027 Telluride replaces the 3.8L V6 with a 274-hp 2.5L turbo four and adds a 329-hp turbo-hybrid. X-Line trims bring standard AWD and 21-inch wheels; X-Pro adds all-terrain tires, 9.1 inches of ground clearance and an electronic limited-slip differential.
First generation (3.8L V6) · 2020–2025
The original Telluride used a 3.8L V6 with an 8-speed automatic in every model year from 2020 through 2025, offered with front- or all-wheel drive. EPA data lists no 2026 Telluride; the redesign arrived as a 2027 model.
Years to avoid, best years and known issues
Before you shortlist a used Telluride, check its model year against CarWhere's reliability research and the known issues for its generation.
What to check before buying a used Telluride
- Run the VIN for title brands (salvage, rebuilt, flood, lemon buyback), odometer history and reported accidents before you go see it.
- Check the VIN for open safety recalls and confirm the dealer will complete any open campaign before delivery.
- Decode the VIN or pull the build sheet to confirm the engine, drivetrain, trim and options match the listing.
- Test four-wheel or all-wheel drive, and on off-road trims look under the vehicle for skid-plate damage and bent suspension parts.
- Check every row: folding seats, rear climate, power liftgate and all door seals for water leaks.
- Get an independent pre-purchase inspection — especially for suspension, brakes, tires and any fluid leaks.
- Ask for service records, and confirm how much factory warranty is left from the original in-service date.
- Negotiate the vehicle price first, then fees; refuse dealer add-ons you did not ask for.

Frequently asked questions
How much should I pay for a Telluride?
On a new Telluride, verified CarWhere buyers paid a median 1.2% below MSRP — about $700 — across 64 deals (Feb 2026–Nov 2026). The middle half paid between 0% and 2.6% off, and 6.3% paid over MSRP. Use that as your benchmark: a discount off MSRP measured before rebates, with no dealer add-ons. A used Telluride's price depends on year, mileage and condition, so compare several listings near you before you make an offer.
When is the best time to buy a Telluride?
CarWhere's best-time research finds that new-car discounts have historically been largest from October through December, and January is strongest for used cars. But the seasonal edge is small: average discounts in CarWhere's verified deals move by only a point or two between periods. That's narrower than the spread between Telluride buyers themselves: the middle half paid between 0% and 2.6% off MSRP. Negotiation matters more than the calendar.
Should I buy a new or used Telluride?
New gets you the current Second generation Telluride (2027–present) with a full factory warranty, from $39,190 MSRP. Verified buyers paid a median 1.2% off. Used, the main alternative is the First generation (2020–2025). Before you buy a used one, check the years to avoid and known issues by generation, and run the VIN for title and accident history.
