Key Features of the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid

Turbocharged 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain (329 hp)

The turbocharged 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain is the heart of the 2027 Telluride Hybrid, delivering 329 hp and 339 lb.-ft. of torque for smooth, confident acceleration. This refined system pairs a responsive engine with an electric motor to optimize power delivery in real time, helping the SUV pull away decisively from a stop and pass with ease on the highway. Kia’s hybrid tuning emphasizes a natural, quiet driving experience, and energy captured through braking automatically recharges the hybrid battery—no plugs required. On select trims, the EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined helps make the most of every gallon, and the hybrid’s intentional packaging preserves generous passenger and cargo space.
