Key Features of the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid
Turbocharged 2.5-liter Hybrid Powertrain
Kia designed the Telluride Hybrid to deliver responsive performance while improving everyday efficiency. Its turbocharged 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain produces 329 hp and 339 lb.-ft. of torque, pairing a gas engine with an electric motor for smooth and swift acceleration. This setup is especially appealing because it requires no plug. Energy from braking recharges the hybrid battery system automatically, so ownership feels familiar for drivers moving from a gas SUV. The EX FWD configuration offers an EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined and a 637-mile total driving range, giving you the flexibility to cover more ground between fuel stops. Kia hybrid batteries are also intentionally designed and positioned to maintain ample room for passengers and cargo, helping preserve the practical cabin layout shoppers expect from a Telluride.
Available AWD with Terrain Mode
Colorado drivers often look for traction support that feels natural, not complicated. Available AWD with Terrain Mode helps the Telluride Hybrid adapt to snow, mud, and sand, giving you more control when road surfaces vary. X-Line models add an elevated capability focus with Multi-Terrain Mode AWD, exclusive design details, and a confident stance. For shoppers who tow small recreational equipment, tools, or weekend gear, the Telluride Hybrid also offers 4,500 lbs. of towing capacity when properly equipped with the available tow hitch. Available self-leveling rear suspension helps keep the drive stable when carrying a load. This combination of hybrid response, available AWD confidence, and towing utility makes the SUV a well-rounded choice for drivers who need everyday comfort and useful capability in one vehicle.
Flexible Three-Row Interior
The Telluride Hybrid cabin is built around real-life passenger and cargo needs. Flexible seating for up to 7 passengers gives families and active drivers the room needed for adults, kids, friends, and gear. Kia also focuses on access and convenience, including tilt-and-slide 2nd-row seats that function even with a car seat in place, helping make 3rd-row access easier. USB-C outlets in all 3 rows help keep passengers charged, while a 115V outlet in the cargo area supports added utility for devices and accessories. Cargo flexibility is another strength, with versatile layouts and an available smart cargo table function designed to help organize groceries, luggage, sports equipment, or outdoor gear. It is a cabin that feels spacious, practical, and thoughtfully arranged.
Driver-Centric Digital Cockpit
The available driver-centric digital cockpit brings a modern command center feel to the Telluride Hybrid. With 29.6 in. of total combined digital displays, key vehicle information, navigation, entertainment, and connectivity are presented in a clean, easy-to-use layout. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility help you connect your smartphone without cable clutter. Available dual wireless chargers can power two compatible phones at the same time, while standard USB-C ports keep passenger devices ready. The available 12-in. Head-Up Display can show key information such as speed and turn-by-turn directions in your line of sight. Available Full Display Mirror® is designed to help provide a clear rear view even when passengers or large cargo limit visibility through the cabin.
Advanced Driver Assistance Technology
Kia gives the Telluride Hybrid a robust set of available driver assistance technologies to help support awareness and confidence. Available Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2 uses a front camera and radar sensors to help detect potential hazards, provide warnings, apply braking in certain conditions, and assist with steering input in select situations. Available Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist can provide alerts and help move the vehicle away from an adjacent vehicle when actively engaged. Highway Driving Assist 2 can help maintain set speed and distance on certain highways, assist with lane changes, and help keep the vehicle centered. Available Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Parking Sensors, Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control w/ Stop & Go - Curve, Blind-Spot View Monitor, and 360° Surround View Monitor further enhance everyday maneuvering.
