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 tuned for both response and refinement. Output measures a robust 329 hp and 339 lb.-ft. of torque, which translates to easy merges, confident highway passing, and relaxed cruising with fewer downshifts. The hybrid system recaptures braking energy automatically, so there is no need to plug in, and the battery’s intentional packaging preserves space for passengers and cargo. Whether you are navigating morning traffic in Eau Claire, WI or heading out to lake country with a full load of gear, the Telluride Hybrid remains composed and quiet, with linear power delivery that feels natural from the first mile.

AWD with Terrain Mode

Available AWD with Terrain Mode helps the Telluride Hybrid adapt to changing surfaces. With snow, mud, and sand settings, the system works with powertrain and stability controls to optimize traction where you need it most. It shines on gravel roads, boat launches, and rutted paths, and it supports towing and hauling on uneven terrain. Pair available AWD with the Telluride Hybrid’s confident chassis tuning and optional self-leveling rear suspension, and you get an SUV that stays stable and predictable with a trailer attached, yet still feels easy to park and maneuver around town. For weekend runs toward Chippewa Falls or errands that include a mix of paved and unpaved turns, it is the kind of adaptable capability that pays off every day.

29.6 in. Digital Cockpit with Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™

The available driver-centric digital cockpit consolidates essential information and everyday apps into 29.6 inches of combined displays. It is clean, bright, and designed for quick glances, placing vehicle data, turn-by-turn directions, and audio right where you expect it. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility let you connect without cables, and intuitively placed dual wireless chargers can power two compatible smartphones at once. Add the available 12-in. Head-Up Display for key speed and navigation details projected in your line of sight, and the available Full Display Mirror® for a clear rearward view even with taller cargo or a full third row, and you have a cockpit that reduces clutter while increasing clarity.

Flexible 3-Row Seating and Smart Cargo

Inside, the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid is built to make busy days easier. Seating for up to 7 includes second-row seats that tilt and slide for quick third-row access, even when a child seat is installed. USB-C outlets in all three rows and an available 115V cargo-area outlet help keep devices charged and ready. Versatile cargo solutions include flexible seat layouts and an available smart cargo table function that helps you stack, separate, or secure items. From weekly groceries and strollers to skis and camping gear, the flat load floor and wide opening help you take full advantage of the space. The result is an interior that supports everything from quick school drop-offs to long weekends without a fuss.

Highway Driving Assist 2 and Enhanced Collision-Avoidance Systems

When available and actively engaged, Highway Driving Assist 2 can help maintain a set speed and distance on certain highways, assist with steering to help keep the Telluride Hybrid centered, and even provide steering input to help guide lane changes when you signal. Additional available systems reinforce awareness: Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2 helps identify hazards ahead and can apply braking in certain conditions; Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist can help move the vehicle away from an adjacent car; Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist helps when backing out of parking spaces; and available Parking Sensors plus the 360° Surround View Monitor can assist with low-speed maneuvering. It is all engineered to help reduce stress and add confidence to everyday driving.
