Late last week, Kia announced the pricing for all trims of its upcoming 2027 Telluride Hybrid SUV. There will be an obvious price increase between the fully gasoline-powered Tellurides and the hybrid models. Although the many gasoline trims can get pricey, the higher you go, the more the price increases.
The redesigned Telluride brings forth improved and larger cargo and seating space, premium finishes, additional customization, and safety features. Kia also switched out its 3.8-liter V6 for a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and added a hybrid option. The latter adds an electric motor for more range and creates a combined output of 329 hp and 339 lb-ft of torque. The new non-hybrid model pushes 274 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque.
All pricing includes $1,545 destination fees, BTW:
- EX FWD starts at $48,000
- EX AWD starts at $50,000
- SX FWD starts at $53,000
- X-Line SX AWD starts at $56,000
- SX Prestige AWD starts at $58,000
- X-Line SX Prestige AWD starts at $59,100
As opposed to the pricing to its fully-gasoline models, which was released in January:
- LX FWD starts at $40,700
- S FWD starts at $43,600
- S AWD starts at $45,600
- EX FWD starts at $45,300
- EX AWD starts at $47,300
- X-Line EX AWD starts at $53,300
- X-Pro SX AWD starts at $55,200
- SXP AWD starts at $55,400
- X-Line SXP AWD starts at $56,400
- X-Pro SXP AWD starts at $58,300
On the gasoline side, it comes in just below the Hyundai Palisade V6. However, the Telluride hybrid is priced above Hyundai’s flagship SUV and Toyota’s Grand Highlander Hybrid but not Mazda’s CX-90 hybrid. I’m curious to see how sales go for both Telluride powertrains, to see whether consumers prefer a hybrid or a V6 over a turbocharged 4-cylinder.
