The 2027 Kia Telluride debuts its first-ever hybrid powertrain, combining a 2.5-liter turbo engine with electric motors for 329 horsepower, 339 lb-ft of torque, and an EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined. The total driving range hits 637 miles on the EX FWD trim, while still offering up to 4,500 pounds of towing capacity. A standout Stay Mode feature can run climate, audio, and lighting off the battery alone for up to an hour without touching the combustion engine.
The Turbo Hybrid is available in EX, SX, SX-Prestige, and X-Line trims, starting at $46,490.

The cabin of the 2027 Telluride Hybrid centers around Kia’s Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC), spanning more than half the dash with available dual 12.3-inch panoramic digital displays. The wrap-around curved design gives the interior a modern, immersive feel.

The new Telluride Hybrid is available with front relaxation seats with power leg rests and the available Ergo Motion driver’s seat — which uses air pockets for massage and cushion adjustment. These seats elevate the driving experience well beyond the segment norm.

The hybrid SUV also offers power-operated captain’s seats with individual heated and ventilated functions that give the second-row passengers a first-class experience. They are complemented by a new two-tier sliding tray with hidden storage compartment.

With all seats upright, the Turbo Hybrid offers 21.3 cubic feet behind the third row, expanding to 47.7 cubic feet with the second row folded. A folding luggage table with integrated cupholders and configurable dividers add practical versatility.

Kia is also offering an available indirect LED ambient lighting and a comprehensive NVH package — including triple door seals, added sound-absorbing materials, and thicker door glass. It creates a noticeably quieter, more upscale atmosphere.

The 2027 Telluride Hybrid keeps everyone connected with dual wireless charging pads for front occupants and USB-C fast-charging ports across all three rows.
