Key Features of the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid

Turbocharged 2.5-Liter Hybrid Powertrain

The heart of the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid is its turbocharged 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain, which produces 329 hp and 339 lb.-ft. of torque. That output gives the SUV the confident feel shoppers expect from a three-row vehicle, especially when accelerating onto highways, carrying passengers, or climbing grades. The hybrid system pairs the responsive engine with an electric motor to deliver smooth and swift acceleration, while regenerative braking helps recharge the hybrid battery automatically. Kia also designed and positioned the hybrid battery system to help preserve ample passenger and cargo room, so the benefits of hybrid driving do not come at the expense of everyday usability. With an EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined and up to 637 miles of total driving range on the EX FWD configuration, the Telluride Hybrid is built for drivers who value fewer stops and more flexibility.

Available AWD with Terrain Mode

Available AWD with Terrain Mode gives the Telluride Hybrid added confidence when driving conditions change. The system includes modes for snow, mud, and sand, helping the vehicle adapt to different road surfaces and maintain composed traction when extra control matters. This is especially valuable for Colorado drivers who may move from city streets to mountain roads, gravel trailheads, or unpredictable surfaces in the same week. The Telluride Hybrid X-Line models build on this capability with exclusive X-Line styling, available raised roof rails, and unique 21-in. wheel designs that create a bold stance. Available raised roof rails also support adventure accessories such as cross bars, cargo boxes, bike racks, and kayak or ski carriers, making it easier to bring recreational gear without compromising interior comfort.

Flexible Three-Row Interior

The Telluride Hybrid cabin is designed for real families and changing routines. Seating for up to 7 passengers gives the SUV a spacious, comfortable layout, while tilt-and-slide 2nd-row seats function even with a car seat in place for easier access to the 3rd row. USB-C outlets in all 3 rows help keep devices charged, and a 115V outlet in the cargo area adds practical power for compatible gear. Kia also highlights versatile cargo space that can adjust for groceries, luggage, sports equipment, or outdoor supplies, along with an available smart cargo table function that helps maximize usability. On select configurations such as X-Line SX Prestige, comfort reaches a premium level with an Ergo-Motion massaging driver's seat w/ power bolsters, heated and ventilated 1st and 2nd-row seats, a 2nd-row sliding console for extra storage, SynTex suede headliner, and ambient interior lighting.

29.6-In. Digital Cockpit

The available driver-centric digital cockpit brings 29.6 in. of total combined digital displays into the Telluride Hybrid, placing navigation, infotainment, and vehicle information in a clean, modern layout. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility help drivers access familiar apps without needing to connect a cable. Available dual wireless chargers can help power two compatible smartphones at once, while standard USB-C ports help passengers stay charged throughout the cabin. Additional available technologies include a 12-in. Head-Up Display, which can show key vehicle information such as speed and turn-by-turn directions, and Full Display Mirror®, designed to help provide a view behind the vehicle even when passengers or larger items limit the traditional rearward view. Together, these technologies make the Telluride Hybrid feel intuitive, organized, and ready for connected family driving.

Advanced Driver Assistance Technology

Kia equips the Telluride Hybrid with an impressive suite of available driver assistance technologies designed to support awareness and confidence. Available Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2 uses a front camera and radar sensors to help prevent or lessen the effects of a potential collision when a hazard is detected, and it is engineered to help identify oncoming and cross-traffic when turning left at or driving through an intersection. Available Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist can provide alerts and help move the vehicle away from an adjacent vehicle in certain conditions. Available Highway Driving Assist 2 uses camera, radar, and navigation data to help maintain a set speed and distance on certain highways, assist with lane changes when the turn signal is activated, and help keep the vehicle centered. Available 360° Surround View Monitor, Blind-Spot View Monitor, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and parking sensors add even more confidence in tight spaces and busy traffic.
