More Power Than the Gas Telluride. Far Less Fuel.
The 2027 model year brings something Telluride buyers have asked about since the nameplate launched: a hybrid. And it arrives doing something unusual — the Telluride Hybrid makes more power than the gas model while using substantially less fuel. Its turbocharged 2.5L hybrid powertrain produces 329 combined horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque, against 274 horsepower for the standard gas Telluride.
The efficiency difference is not marginal. Where the gas Telluride returns up to 22 MPG combined, the Hybrid reaches up to 35 MPG combined in front-wheel-drive EX form — better than a 50 percent improvement, with up to 637 miles of range on a single tank. For an Olathe family running Johnson County school routes during the week and heading out on I-35 for the weekend, that changes the math considerably.
What Each Configuration Actually Returns
Telluride Hybrid fuel economy varies by both trim and drivetrain — worth understanding before you choose, because the spread between the most and least efficient configuration is meaningful:
EX — Front-Wheel Drive
Most Efficient Configuration
34 City / 36 Hwy / 35 Combined
SX — Front-Wheel Drive
FWD Step-Up Trim
32 City / 34 Hwy / 33 Combined
All AWD Configurations
X-Line & AWD-Equipped Trims
30 City / 32 Hwy / 31 Combined
For most Olathe buyers covering a mix of Johnson County surface streets and I-35 highway miles, the EX FWD configuration delivers the strongest efficiency. Families who want all-weather traction for Kansas winters should know AWD carries a four-MPG combined trade-off against the FWD EX.
Five Telluride Hybrid Configurations

329 Horsepower From a Turbocharged Hybrid
The Telluride Hybrid pairs a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor and a 6-speed automatic transmission. Combined output reaches 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque — figures that put it ahead of the gas Telluride on both counts. Because it is a conventional hybrid rather than a plug-in, there is nothing to charge and no routine to change. You fuel it the way you always have and simply stop less often.
The Telluride Hybrid charges its battery through regenerative braking and engine operation. There is no charging cable, no home installation, and no range anxiety. For Olathe buyers who want hybrid efficiency without changing how they live with a vehicle, this is the practical path.
The EX front-wheel-drive configuration’s 35 MPG combined rating translates to as much as 637 miles between fill-ups. A round trip from Olathe to Lake of the Ozarks and back fits comfortably within a single tank, with reserve to spare.
The Telluride Hybrid seats seven across three rows. Second-row captain’s chairs with a center pass-through make third-row access straightforward — which matters on a school run where someone is always climbing to the back.
Ten Finishes, and Where Each One Lands
The 2027 Telluride offers ten exterior finishes, and availability depends heavily on whether you choose an X-Line configuration. The matte finishes and earth tones — Panthera Metal Matte, Terrain Brown, and Terrain Brown Matte — are exclusive to X-Line trims and cannot be ordered on the EX, SX, or SX Prestige:

Interior Color & Material Combinations

Black & Butter Brown SynTex
EX Exclusive
Deep Navy & Tuscan Umber SynTex
SX • SX Prestige
Millstone & Saddle Brown SynTex
X-Line SX
Black & Millstone SynTex

Exterior and interior availability is tied to trim level and production timing. X-Line matte finishes and earth tones are not offered on non-X-Line trims. Contact our team to confirm which combinations are available on current inventory.

Book AppointmentWhat Olathe Telluride Hybrid Owners Say
We wanted three rows without the fuel bill that usually comes with them. The Hybrid EX is averaging close to its rating in real Johnson County driving, and it has more power than the gas version we test drove first.
No plug, no charging routine, no change to how we use the car — just considerably fewer stops at the pump. Oakes Kia explained the difference between this and a plug-in clearly before we bought.
The Oakes Advantage lifetime powertrain warranty on top of Kia’s factory coverage made the long-term decision easy. Transparent numbers from the first conversation to signing.
