Three Rows, Seven Seats, and a Fuel Bill That Makes Sense
Shawnee has grown quickly for straightforward reasons — strong schools, Shawnee Mission Park, and a location that keeps the rest of the metro within reach. The driving that comes with it is specific: school routes twice a day, activity shuttles most evenings, and the occasional longer haul with the whole family aboard.
The 2027 Telluride Hybrid is built for exactly that pattern. Seven seats across three rows handle the carpool. Regenerative braking recovers energy during every stop-and-go school-zone mile. And a 35 MPG combined rating on the EX means the vehicle that carries everyone is no longer the one that costs the most to fuel.
What Matters on a Tuesday Morning School Run
The Telluride Hybrid seats seven, with second-row captain’s chairs that create a center walkway to the third row. Nobody has to fold a seat or climb over anything to get to the back — which saves real time when you are loading three kids in a school drop-off line.
Short trips and constant stops are where gas-only SUVs do their worst. The Telluride Hybrid’s EX is rated 34 MPG in the city against 36 on the highway — a narrow gap that reflects how much energy regenerative braking recovers in exactly the kind of driving a Shawnee family does most.
Kia’s active safety suite comes standard across the Telluride Hybrid lineup rather than requiring a trim climb. For families carrying the people who matter most on busy suburban arterials, that baseline is worth knowing is already there.
Finding the Right Hybrid for Your Family
Because the Hybrid lineup starts at EX, there is no bare-bones entry trim. The question is which drivetrain and interior suit how you use the vehicle:

Which Configuration Fits a School-Run Week
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
Shawnee families doing most of their driving within Johnson County should look closely at the EX FWD at 35 MPG combined — its city rating of 34 MPG is where a hybrid pays off most. Families who want AWD for winter school runs trade down to 31 combined, still far ahead of any gas three-row.
Finishes and Cabins Worth Seeing in Person
Ten exterior finishes span the Telluride range, with availability depending on trim. Shawnee families drawn to the earth tones and matte options should know those are X-Line exclusives — Terrain Brown, Terrain Brown Matte, and Panthera Metal Matte cannot be ordered on the EX, SX, or SX Prestige:
Panthera Metal

Interior Color & Material Combinations
Interior combinations narrow by trim. The EX is the only trim offering Black & Butter Brown, which lightens the cabin noticeably — worth seeing in person if an all-black interior feels too dark for a family vehicle:
Black SynTex
EX • SX • X-Line SX
Black & Butter Brown SynTex
EX Exclusive
Deep Navy & Tuscan Umber SynTex
SX • SX Prestige
Millstone & Saddle Brown SynTex
X-Line SX
Black & Millstone SynTex
X-Line SX • X-Line SX Prestige
Black SynTex & SynTex Suede
SX Prestige • X-Line SX Prestige
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 Shawnee Families Say
The pass-through between the captain’s chairs sounds like a small thing until you are loading three kids every morning. It saves real minutes. And the fuel economy on short trips is genuinely better than our old SUV managed on the highway.
We needed seven seats and did not want a fuel bill to match. The Hybrid EX solved both. Oakes Kia walked us through the FWD versus AWD trade-off honestly instead of just upselling the AWD.
Butter Brown interior on the EX made the cabin feel much lighter than the all-black we expected. Glad we went to see it in person. Service department has been easy to work with since.
Questions From Shawnee Families
Is the Telluride Hybrid’s third row usable for kids and adults?
Yes. The Telluride Hybrid seats seven, and second-row captain’s chairs with a center pass-through make third-row access straightforward without folding seats. It is comfortable for children daily and workable for adults on shorter regional trips.
Does a hybrid make sense if most of our driving is short trips?
That is where it makes the most sense. Regenerative braking recovers energy during deceleration, which happens constantly in school-zone and suburban driving. The EX’s 34 MPG city rating is nearly as high as its 36 MPG highway figure, which is the reverse of how a gas-only SUV behaves.
Which interior colors are available on the EX?
The EX offers Black SynTex and Black & Butter Brown SynTex. The Butter Brown combination is exclusive to the EX across the entire Telluride lineup and noticeably lightens the cabin.
How does the Oakes 7-day exchange policy work?
If you purchase and change your mind within 7 days and 700 miles, you can exchange for another vehicle in our inventory. A 3-day refund option is also available on qualifying purchases. Full terms and conditions apply — our team provides complete details at your visit.
Is AWD worth it for Johnson County winters?
AWD configurations are rated 30 city / 32 highway / 31 combined against 34 / 36 / 35 for the EX FWD. Shawnee winters vary year to year; families who do early-morning school runs in all conditions often decide the traction is worth the four-MPG difference.
