Key Features of the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid
Turbocharged 2.5-liter Hybrid Powertrain
At the heart of the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid is a turbocharged 2.5-liter hybrid system delivering 329 hp and 339 lb.-ft. of torque. That means confident off-the-line response for merging and passing, as well as refined power delivery during steady-state cruising. When properly equipped, the Telluride Hybrid achieves an EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined on the EX FWD and can travel up to 637 miles of total driving range, so daily drives and road trips alike feel easier on your schedule. The hybrid setup uses energy from braking to help recharge the system, so there is no need to plug in. Tuning emphasizes smooth, quiet operation around town while keeping strong reserve power available on demand—ideal for mixed driving in and around Madison, WI. For drivers stepping up from a traditional SUV, the Telluride Hybrid’s seamless transitions between electric motor assist and gasoline power help make hybrid ownership feel natural from day one.
Available AWD with Terrain Mode
The Telluride Hybrid’s available AWD with Terrain Mode helps you adapt to variable road conditions by optimizing traction and power delivery for snow, mud, or sand. This capability extends the usefulness of the hybrid powertrain when the weather turns or the pavement ends, supporting year-round confidence without compromising comfort. Add the available tow hitch and available self-leveling rear suspension, and you can tow up to 4,500 lbs. while helping keep the SUV composed and level. The system’s thoughtful calibration is designed for everyday ease, whether you are navigating slushy side streets near Verona or maneuvering a boat trailer at a neighborhood launch. The result is an SUV that balances hybrid efficiency with real-world utility—exactly what active families want in a three-row vehicle.
Driver-Centric Digital Cockpit with 29.6 in. Displays
Available 29.6 in. of total combined digital displays anchor a modern cockpit that prioritizes clarity and convenience. The system integrates Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ so you can bring your apps and media along without extra cables. Intuitively placed dual wireless chargers are designed to keep two compatible smartphones powered up, and standard USB-C ports throughout the cabin support every passenger. An available 12-in. Head-Up Display projects key information, such as speed and turn-by-turn directions, into your line of sight to help keep attention on the road. The available Full Display Mirror® is designed to provide a view behind you even when the cabin is full, while the available Blind-Spot View Monitor can show a live video feed of your side blind spots in the instrument cluster to enhance confidence during lane changes. All of this tech works to make the drive feel connected and intuitive without overwhelming you.
Advanced Driver Assistance and Parking Technologies
The 2027 Telluride Hybrid offers a robust suite of available and actively engaged driver assistance technologies designed to add confidence to daily commuting and weekend travel. Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2 can help provide warnings and, in certain conditions, apply braking and even assist with steering input to help avoid or mitigate certain collisions, including at intersections. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist is designed to help move your vehicle away from an adjacent vehicle if it detects a potential collision. Highway Driving Assist 2 can help you maintain a set speed and distance on certain highways and assist with lane changes when the turn signal is activated. Available 360° Surround View Monitor can provide an aerial view to help with parking and low-speed maneuvering, while available front, rear, and side parking sensors provide audiovisual alerts as you approach obstacles. Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control w/ Stop & Go – Curve can also help automatically adjust speed to posted limits and smooth out speed changes through certain curves.
