Kia America today announced pricing for the first-ever 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid 3-row SUV with the MSRP for a FWD EX trim starting below $47,000[1]. The turbo hybrid powertrain ushers in a new era for the Telluride, providing confident performance and acceleration, with an EPA-estimated rating of 35 mpg[2] combined and a total driving range of 637 miles[3] on the EX FWD trim.
“The first-ever Telluride HEV really hits the sweet spot and delivers exactly what today’s savvy SUV buyers are looking for,” said Eric Watson, VP Sales, Kia America. “Brimming with Kia’s latest tech, available in seven-passenger configuration, and an EPA-estimated 35 mpg combined on the EX FWD trim, the 2027 Telluride HEV is the new benchmark in the three-row SUV segment.”
The Telluride HEV combines the 2.5-liter turbo powertrain with a 1.65-kWh lithium-ion battery and electric motors to make a combined 329 horsepower and 339 lb.-ft. of torque. That’s up to a 38-hp increase over the powerplant in the previous Telluride (291 hp) and 77 lb.-ft. more torque (262 lb.-ft.).
The hybrid routes power through a 6-speed automatic transmission, sent to an available all-wheel drive system[4]. The hybrid comes standard with electric-Vehicle Motion Control (e-VMC)[4]. This system is designed to help the driver achieve improved handling and stability by leveraging brake and motor control. The result is sophisticated power delivery and handling dynamics in a smooth, quiet ride.
Offered in EX, SX, X-Line SX, SX-Prestige and X-Line SX-Prestige trims, pricing for the all-new Telluride HEV is as follows and excludes destination charges of $1,545:
