The multi-award-winning three-row SUV has officially evolved. Drivers seeking the ultimate mix of space, rugged capability, and modern efficiency can find exactly what they are looking for with the Kia Telluride Hybrid.

This re-engineered powerhouse delivers incredible upgrades across every category. Here is a breakdown of what makes this SUV a game-changer, from the inside out.

First-Class Interior Luxury

The cabin of the Telluride Hybrid maintains its massive footprint while introducing a new level of premium relaxation. The carefully crafted interior features:

• Versatile 3-Row Seating: Offers standard accommodation for up to seven or eight passengers with expanded first- and second-row headroom and class-leading second-row legroom.
• Relaxation Mode Front Seats: Available front-row seats equipped with powered leg rests and an Ergo Motion massage function for the driver.
• Climate-Controlled Captain’s Chairs: Available power-operated, heated, and ventilated seats for both the first and second rows, with available heating extending to the third row.
• Massive Cargo Capacity: Provides up to 88.3 cubic feet of maximum cargo space behind the first row, alongside a convenient hands-free Smart Power Liftgate.
• A Quieter Cabin: Enhanced acoustic glass and improved aerodynamics ensure a whisper-quiet ride through the area.

Rugged Off-Road Capabilities

The Telluride Hybrid refuses to sacrifice its adventurous spirit. For families who love to explore beyond the pavement, it offers highly capable off-road features, particularly on the upgraded X-Pro trim:

• Elevated Ground Clearance: Clears obstacles with ease thanks to an impressive 9.1 inches of ground clearance.
• All-Terrain Mastery: Rides on wider all-terrain tires designed to grip mud, gravel, and rock.
• Advanced Traction Systems: Features an intelligent Multi-Terrain AWD system paired with an electronic Limited-Slip Differential (E-LSD) for maximum control.
• Trail-Ready Technology: Equipped with a dedicated off-road vehicle status screen and a Ground View Monitor to see directly beneath the vehicle at slow speeds.
• Robust Towing: Boasts a towing capacity of up to 4,500 pounds, perfect for hauling trailers or boats down to the lake.

Gas and Hybrid Powertrains

Kia has traded the traditional V6 engine for two highly responsive, turbocharged options that balance athletic power with eco-conscious fuel tracking:

The Turbo-Hybrid Engine

The star of the lineup is the all-new 2.5L Turbo Hybrid powertrain. Combining a turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine with dual electric motors, it pumps out a combined 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. This self-charging setup requires no plug and targets an exceptional EPA-estimated 35 MPG combined, offering a massive total driving range of up to 637 miles.

The Standard Turbo Gas Engine

For those preferring a traditional setup, the standard gas-only 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder serves up an impressive 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, delivering rapid acceleration and refined highway cruising.

Next-Generation Technology Features

The modern dashboard serves as a command center packed with high-tech connectivity and entertainment options:

• Continuous Panoramic Layout: Houses striking dual 12.3-inch widescreen digital displays for the instrument cluster and infotainment hub.
• Built-In AI and Streaming: Features a built-in generative AI voice assistant (“Hey, Kia”) alongside integrated data services for YouTube and Netflix streaming while parked.
• Dual Wireless Charging: Offers two wireless phone charging pads in the first row so both the driver and passenger can stay topped off.
• Digital Key Accessibility: Allows you to access and start the vehicle using a compatible smartphone or smartwatch.

Standard Safety Features

Your family’s safety remains the top priority. The Telluride Hybrid boasts an enhanced rigid body structure targeting top safety pick ratings, backed by a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance features:

• 10 Standard Airbags: Now includes a new front-row center airbag to protect occupants from side-impact collisions.
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist: Automatically applies the brakes to mitigate or prevent frontal accidents.
• Blind-Spot & Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance: Monitors your blind spots and alerts you to approaching vehicles while reversing.
• Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go: Automatically maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic.
• Lane Keeping & Highway Driving Assist: Helps center the vehicle in its lane and adjusts speed based on highway traffic flow.
