The Kia Telluride 3-row SUV is all-new for 2027 and offers a brand-new hybrid powertrain option for the first time. The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid (HEV) starts at $48,035, including a $1,545 destination fee.
Notably, this starting price is $7,300 higher than the gas-powered Telluride. Part of that is due to differences in the powertrain. Another factor is the hybrid Telluride begins at a higher trim with more features: The Telluride Hybrid omits the lower LX and S trims entirely and begins at the EX trim, which is more mid-range.
When compared trim to trim, there’s a smaller $2,700 price gap between the EX trims on both versions.
What’s New
As the Telluride enters its second generation, it receives a major redesign inside and out. The 2027 model has a boxy, sleek appearance with vertical headlights and taillights. The center console and infotainment area are almost completely redesigned, giving the 2027 setup an even more luxurious feel. It’s also larger — nearly 3 inches longer than the prior generation — providing more room for rear passengers and cargo.
A 2.5-liter turbo 4-cylinder engine with a 1.65-kWh battery and electric motors deliver 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. This improves upon its gas-only sibling, which has 274 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. Moreover, it’s significantly more fuel efficient than the gas-only model, earning up to an estimated 35 mpg combined in front-wheel-drive models. The gas-only model earns up to 22 mpg combined.
The Telluride HEV will be offered in six different trims. Pricing below includes a $1,545 destination fee. Kia says the Telluride Hybrid will arrive in “early 2026.”
