Key Features of the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid

Turbocharged 2.5-liter Hybrid Powertrain

The heart of the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid is a turbocharged 2.5-liter hybrid system rated at 329 hp and 339 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s tuned to provide immediate, linear response—ideal for merging onto the Parkway, passing on multi-lane roads, or cruising local routes without hunting for gears. Kia’s hybrid approach emphasizes smoothness as much as strength, so the powertrain’s electric assistance fills in low-speed torque while the turbocharged engine takes charge at higher speeds. The result is confident acceleration that feels poised and refined. Efficiency is real-world ready, too, with an EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined and up to a 637-mile total driving range on the EX FWD (not shown), helping you stretch time between fill-ups. Regenerative braking recaptures energy on the go, and there’s no plugging in—just gas up and drive.

Available AWD with Terrain Mode and 4,500-lb Towing

Capability goes beyond confidence in bad weather. Available AWD with Terrain Mode allows you to tailor traction for snow, mud, and sand, helping the Telluride Hybrid adapt to varying conditions with a push of a button. When the weekend calls, the available tow hitch and available self-leveling rear suspension help support up to 4,500 lbs. of towing capacity, so you can bring small boats, utility trailers, or family gear with stability in mind. The self-leveling rear suspension is designed to help maintain composure and ride height when loaded, which can improve control and comfort. Whether you’re navigating tight marina lots, pulling a small trailer across town, or just dealing with uneven backroads, the chassis is tuned to feel sure-footed and predictable.

Flexible Seating for Up to 7 and Smart Cargo

Inside, the Telluride Hybrid is purpose-built to make everyday life easier. It offers seating for up to 7 with generous second-row space and an easy-access third row. Thoughtful touches abound: USB-C outlets in all three rows keep devices charged, and a 115V outlet in the cargo area supports small electronics when you’re setting up on the sidelines or organizing gear. A tilt-and-slide second row—designed to function even with a child seat installed—helps you reach the third row without reconfiguring your setup. Cargo is just as flexible, with versatile layouts and an available smart cargo table function that can help you compartmentalize items or create quick-access storage. It all adds up to a cabin that adapts to your mix of passengers, pets, and equipment without fuss.

Driver Assistance and Highway Driving Assist 2

The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid pairs everyday readiness with available high-end driver assistance. When available and actively engaged, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2 is designed to help detect hazards, provide warnings, apply braking in certain conditions, and even assist with steering input to help avoid a collision, including added capability for oncoming and cross traffic at intersections. Available Blind-Spot View Monitor can display a live camera feed of your rear blind spots in the digital gauge cluster, while an available 360 Surround View Monitor can assist with low-speed maneuvering and parking. On the highway, available Highway Driving Assist 2 helps maintain a set speed and distance from a vehicle ahead, provides steering assistance to help keep the vehicle centered, and can assist with lane changes when you activate the turn signal, on certain highways. Available Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control w/ Stop & Go - Curve can also help adjust speed for changing limits and approaching curves.

Digital Cockpit, Head-Up Display, and Full Display Mirror®

Technology is designed to be intuitive and helpful. The available digital cockpit features a combined 29.6 inches of displays with Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™, keeping maps, calls, playlists, and vehicle info front and center without cables. Intuitively placed dual wireless chargers help keep two compatible smartphones powered while standard USB-C ports support passengers throughout the cabin. The available 12-in. Head-Up Display projects key information like speed and navigation prompts into your line of sight to help you keep eyes up. The available Full Display Mirror® is designed to provide a clear view behind you even when cargo and passengers are blocking the rear glass. Add ambient interior lighting and available premium seating features, and the cockpit becomes a calm, connected command center for every trip.
