Kia Telluride Hybrid : The hybrid version of the Kia Telluride has officially received pricing, and it carries a noticeable premium over the gasoline-only model. The 2027 Telluride Hybrid begins at $48,035, which is $7,300 more than the entry-level nonhybrid Telluride. However, that price gap narrows significantly when comparable trims are matched.
One reason for the higher starting price is that the hybrid lineup does not include the LX and S base trims offered on the standard Telluride. Instead, the electrified model starts at the EX trim. For comparison, a gas-powered Telluride EX is priced at $45,335 — just $2,700 less than the hybrid EX. Front-wheel drive comes standard on the hybrid, while all-wheel drive is available for an additional $2,000.
The hybrid range is also more streamlined. While the conventional Telluride offers 10 different trims, the hybrid version is available in five configurations. Moving up from the EX, the SX trim starts at $53,035 and is available exclusively with front-wheel drive. Buyers who want all-wheel drive must step up to the X-Line SX, which starts at $56,035.
At the top of the lineup sit the SX-Prestige and X-Line SX-Prestige trims, priced at $58,135 and $59,135, respectively. Both of these higher-end models come standard with all-wheel drive.
Under the hood, every Telluride Hybrid uses a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with two electric motors. This setup delivers a combined 329 horsepower. According to EPA estimates, the front-wheel-drive EX achieves up to 35 mpg combined. The hybrid SUV also maintains solid capability, with a maximum towing capacity of 4,500 pounds.
Gas-only 2027 Telluride models are already arriving at dealerships, and the hybrid variant is expected to follow shortly.
