Key Features of the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid
Turbocharged 2.5-liter Hybrid Powertrain
The Telluride Hybrid’s turbocharged 2.5-liter hybrid system is engineered to deliver next-level power and efficiency. With 329 hp and 339 lb.-ft. of torque, acceleration is smooth and responsive, whether you are launching from a stoplight or passing confidently on a two-lane highway. The powertrain’s hybrid tuning helps optimize output while remaining refined at cruising speeds. EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined and a 637-mile total driving range are available on the EX FWD (not shown), so longer trips feel less constrained by fuel stops. When you need to bring gear, an available tow hitch and available self-leveling rear suspension support up to 4,500 lbs. of towing capacity, helping to keep the vehicle level and stable with a trailer attached. The result is a hybrid SUV that does not ask you to trade capability for efficiency.
Available AWD with Terrain Mode
For drivers who navigate mixed conditions, the Telluride Hybrid’s available AWD with Terrain Mode provides selectable settings for snow, mud, and sand. This feature helps the vehicle adapt traction and throttle response to maintain control when road surfaces change. From slushy intersections to gravel pull-outs and campground access roads, the system is designed to keep you moving with added confidence. Paired with the Telluride Hybrid’s broad torque curve, the AWD system enhances stability during acceleration and when cornering on uneven or low-grip surfaces. It is a practical advantage for everyday drives around neighborhoods and highways, and a welcome extra layer of assurance when weather or terrain becomes unpredictable.
Driver-Centric Digital Cockpit
The available digital cockpit integrates 29.6 inches of total combined display area to present navigation, media, vehicle information, and driver-assistance views in a streamlined, easy-to-read format. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Wireless Android Auto™ help you access maps, messages, and playlists without reaching for a cable. The optional 12-in. Head-Up Display can project select information onto the windshield, reducing the need to look away from the road. Thoughtfully placed controls, intuitive menus, and available dual wireless chargers keep both the driver and front passenger’s devices powered and organized. It is the kind of tech suite that enhances every drive, from school runs to interstates, by minimizing friction and maximizing clarity.
Blind-Spot View Monitor
Changing lanes in a busy corridor can be stressful, so Kia offers the available Blind-Spot View Monitor to help. This system is designed to display a live video feed of your rear blind spots in the digital gauge cluster when you activate your turn signal. It supplements the side mirrors with an additional perspective that is especially helpful when traffic is dense or when larger passengers and cargo obscure your rearward view. For close-quarters confidence, the available 360° Surround View Monitor can provide an aerial-style perspective to aid with parking and maneuvering in tight spaces. Together, these technologies help you see more around the vehicle, increasing awareness during everyday driving and low-speed maneuvers.
Highway Driving Assist 2
Available Highway Driving Assist 2 is designed to help reduce fatigue on certain highways by using a forward camera, radar sensors, and navigation data to assist with speed, following distance, and lane positioning. When actively engaged, it can help maintain your set speed, keep a set gap to the vehicle ahead, and assist with lane centering. It can also assist with lane changes by providing steering inputs after you signal. Complementary systems such as Forward Collision Avoidance Assist 2, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control w/ Stop & Go – Curve further support confident driving by helping to detect hazards, manage speed around curves, and assist when reversing out of parking spaces. It is a comprehensive driver-assistance suite designed with real-world traffic in mind.
