Is the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid Right for Jackson Shoppers?

Standout Features of the 2027 Telluride Hybrid

Turbo-Hybrid Muscle With Range to Spare

The turbocharged 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain makes 329 hp and 339 lb.-ft. of torque, and the EX FWD earns an EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined with a 637-mile driving range. That range cuts down on fuel stops for I-55 drives toward Sikeston. Available AWD with Terrain Mode adjusts for snow, mud, and sand, a smart pick for gravel roads and winter mornings.

• 329 hp and 339 lb.-ft. of torque
• EPA-est. 35 MPG combined on the EX FWD
• 4,500 lbs. of towing capacity with available tow hitch

A Three-Row Cabin Planned Around Families

Seating for up to 7 includes tilt-and-slide 2nd-row seats that work with a car seat installed, so getting kids into the third row after school pickup is easier. Standard tri-zone climate control keeps every row comfortable, and SX trims add 2nd-row captain's chairs. Flexible cargo layouts and an available smart cargo table handle weekend sports gear and camping trips.

• USB-C outlets in all 3 rows
• 115V outlet in the cargo area
• Stay Mode runs climate, lights, and audio up to 20 minutes while parked

Screens and Driver Assistance That Ease the Drive

The available digital cockpit spans 29.6 in. of combined displays with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, so phone maps and music load wirelessly. Dual wireless chargers keep two phones powered. On highway drives to and from Paducah, available Highway Driving Assist 2 helps hold your speed and following distance, assists with lane changes, and keeps you centered in your lane.

• Available 12-in. Head-Up Display with turn-by-turn directions
• Available Blind-Spot View Monitor and 360° Surround View Monitor
• Available Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control that slows for upcoming curves

2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid Updates and Changes

The 2027 model year marks the first time the Telluride has been offered as a hybrid, and it arrives as part of Kia's all-new, next-generation Telluride lineup. Compared with the gas model, the hybrid earns a higher MPG rating while keeping similar cargo flexibility and technology. Kia offers it in five trims, and the hybrid battery is covered by a 10-year/100,000-mile limited warranty. For shoppers weighing it against the gas Telluride we also carry, fuel economy is the clearest difference.

• First-ever turbo-hybrid powertrain for the Telluride
• Five trims: EX, SX, X-Line SX, SX Prestige, and X-Line SX Prestige
• 10 standard airbags, including a new center airbag
• Stay Mode uses the hybrid battery to run climate control without starting the engine

A Natural Fit for Sikeston Roads and Commutes

Long highway stretches and farm roads are part of daily driving for families in Sikeston, and the Telluride Hybrid's 637-mile range and available AWD fit that pattern well. Parents in Jackson get a usable third row, 10 standard airbags, and available Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist for school and practice runs. Paducah drivers who haul boats or campers across the river can use the 4,500-lb. towing capacity, and the 10-year/100,000-mile hybrid warranty adds long-term peace of mind.
