Key Features of the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid
Turbocharged 2.5-liter Hybrid Powertrain
The heart of the Telluride Hybrid is its turbocharged 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain, engineered to deliver 329 hp and 339 lb.-ft. of torque. That matters in real driving because larger three-row SUVs need power that feels smooth, immediate, and confident, especially when carrying passengers or merging onto busy roads. Kia pairs the responsive gas engine with electric motor support to create swift acceleration without requiring plug-in charging. The hybrid battery system is automatically replenished through energy recovered from braking, so the SUV remains simple to use day after day. Kia also designed the hybrid components with packaging in mind, helping preserve the passenger and cargo room that shoppers expect from a Telluride. The result is a powertrain that feels modern and efficient while still delivering the strength drivers want from a family SUV.
Available AWD with Terrain Mode
For drivers who want extra capability, the Telluride Hybrid offers available AWD with Terrain Mode for snow, mud, and sand. This system is designed to help the SUV adapt to changing surfaces and support driver control when roads become less predictable. Around urban and coastal communities, pavement can change quickly from smooth main roads to tight side streets, construction areas, steep driveways, or uneven parking lots. Available Terrain Mode helps the vehicle respond with settings that match the situation, while the SUV’s strong hybrid torque contributes to smooth movement from a stop. X-Line models add an elevated attitude with distinctive styling, available raised roof rails, and exclusive design cues that reinforce the Telluride Hybrid’s capable character. For shoppers near Revere and East Boston, that combination of confident traction, a commanding view, and three-row utility makes the SUV especially appealing for varied daily routes.
Flexible Three-Row Interior
Inside, the Telluride Hybrid is built for real passenger comfort with flexible seating for up to 7 passengers. The cabin is especially useful because it considers the needs of all rows, not just the front seats. USB-C outlets in all 3 rows help passengers keep devices charged, while a 115V outlet in the cargo area supports added convenience for gear and accessories. Tilt-and-slide 2nd-row seats can function even with a car seat in place, making 3rd-row access easier for families. Available heated and ventilated 1st and 2nd-row seats bring premium comfort to more than just the driver and front passenger. On X-Line SX Prestige, details such as an Ergo-Motion massaging driver’s seat with power bolsters, SynTex suede headliner, ambient interior lighting, and a 2nd-row sliding console for extra storage create a cabin that feels upscale and practical at the same time.
Available Digital Cockpit and Connected Convenience
The available digital cockpit brings 29.6 in. of total combined digital displays into the front cabin, placing key vehicle information, navigation support, entertainment, and convenience features within easy reach. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility help drivers connect familiar smartphone apps without extra clutter. The available 12-in. Head-Up Display can show select information, including speed and turn-by-turn directions, allowing the driver to keep more attention on the road ahead. Intuitively placed dual wireless chargers can help keep two compatible smartphones powered, while standard USB-C ports help support passengers throughout the cabin. The available Full Display Mirror® is another thoughtful addition, designed to provide a view behind the vehicle even when passengers, headrests, or cargo limit the traditional mirror view. Together, these technologies help the cabin feel organized, current, and ready for modern family life.
Advanced Driver Assistance and Parking Support
Kia equips the Telluride Hybrid with available driver assistance technologies designed to support awareness and confidence. When available and actively engaged, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2 uses a front camera and radar sensors to help detect hazards and may provide warnings, braking assistance, and steering support in certain conditions. Available Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance-Assist can provide alerts and help move the vehicle away from an adjacent vehicle when a potential collision is detected. Available Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist is especially useful when reversing out of parking spaces, providing alerts and, in certain situations, braking assistance. For low-speed maneuvering, available front, rear, and side parking sensors can warn the driver as objects get closer, while the available 360° Surround View Monitor provides an aerial-style view of the SUV’s surroundings. Available Highway Driving Assist 2 and Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control w/ Stop & Go – Curve further support relaxed highway driving when conditions allow.
