Key Features of the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid

Turbocharged 2.5-liter Hybrid Powertrain

The heart of the 2027 Telluride Hybrid is its turbocharged 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain, which delivers 329 hp and 339 lb.-ft. of torque. That output gives the SUV a confident feel when accelerating from a stop, merging onto highways, or carrying passengers and cargo. Kia designed the hybrid system to pair a responsive engine with an electric motor, creating smooth and swift acceleration without the need for plug-in charging. The EX FWD configuration offers an EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined and up to 637 miles of total driving range, supporting longer stretches between fuel stops. Hybrid energy is recovered during braking, keeping ownership simple: just fuel up and drive. Kia also positions hybrid battery components with passenger and cargo room in mind, so the SUV maintains the practicality expected from a Telluride.

Available AWD with Terrain Mode

Available AWD with Terrain Mode gives the Telluride Hybrid added confidence when road surfaces change. Terrain Mode includes settings for snow, mud, and sand, helping the vehicle adapt power delivery and traction behavior to support driver control. This matters for Maryland drivers who may move between neighborhood streets, highways, gravel parking areas, boat ramps, job sites, or family destinations in a single week. Available X-Line models build on that confidence with elevated capability and distinctive style. The X-Line exterior design language includes an exclusive matte black grille, uniquely designed front and rear fascia, distinct black badging, wheel arch moldings, and window trim. Available raised roof rails provide practical cargo-carrying flexibility for accessories such as cross bars, cargo boxes, bike racks, kayak carriers, or ski carriers, making the SUV more versatile for recreational gear and everyday hauling.

Flexible Seating for Up to 7 Passengers

The interior is designed for families and passengers who value comfort in every row. Flexible seating for up to 7 passengers gives the Telluride Hybrid the versatility to handle school drop-offs, weekend plans, carpools, and visiting relatives. Tilt-and-slide 2nd-row seats can function even with a car seat in place, helping simplify access to the 3rd row. USB-C outlets in all 3 rows help keep phones, tablets, and travel essentials charged, while a 115V outlet in the cargo area adds more utility for compatible devices or gear. Smart cargo space adapts to changing needs, from groceries and sports bags to luggage and home improvement supplies. An available smart cargo table function helps maximize usability when loading, organizing, or setting up for activities away from home.

Available Digital Cockpit with 29.6 in. Combined Displays

The available digital cockpit gives the driver a modern command center with 29.6 in. of total combined digital displays. This layout places navigation, vehicle information, entertainment, and driver convenience content in a clear, integrated format. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility help simplify smartphone integration without cable clutter. Available dual wireless chargers can power two compatible smartphones at once, which is a practical advantage when both front passengers need a charge. The available 12-in. Head-Up Display projects key vehicle information, including speed and turn-by-turn directions, helping keep attention focused ahead. Available Full Display Mirror® is designed to provide a view of the road behind the vehicle, even when the cabin is full of passengers or larger cargo, adding another layer of everyday visibility.

Available Advanced Driver Assistance Technology

Kia equips the Telluride Hybrid with a robust menu of available driver assistance technologies designed to support awareness, confidence, and convenience. Available Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2 can help detect certain potential frontal hazards and, in select conditions, provide alerts or assist with braking. Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2 is also 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 circumstances. Available Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist can help when reversing out of parking spaces. Available Highway Driving Assist 2 uses camera, radar, and navigation data to help maintain speed, following distance, lane centering, and supported lane changes on certain highways.
