You Won’t Believe These Features in the 2027 Kia Telluride

2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid Exterior Wheel

The 2027 Kia Telluride is not just a redesigned three-row SUV. It is Kia’s clearest move yet toward a more premium, more efficient, and more tech-heavy family vehicle. For Ottawa drivers who want space, comfort, towing confidence, and modern features without moving into luxury-brand pricing, the next-generation Telluride deserves serious attention.

Kia officially revealed the all-new 2027 Telluride at the 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show, confirming a larger body, a new turbocharged gas engine, a first-ever Telluride hybrid, upgraded cargo space, and a more refined interior layout. For a deeper model-year breakdown, read Orléans Kia’s guide: What Changed on the Kia Telluride? We Compared 2027, 2025, and 2024 Models. Kia’s own media release confirms the redesign and the new hybrid direction.

The Big Surprise: A First-Ever Telluride Hybrid

The biggest 2027 Kia Telluride feature is the available 2.5L turbo-hybrid powertrain. Kia lists the Telluride Hybrid at 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque, with up to 637 miles, or about 1,025 km, of total driving range on the EX FWD model. Kia also lists up to 35 mpg combined, which converts to about 6.7 L/100 km.

That matters in Ottawa because three-row SUVs are often judged by the same problem: they are practical, but fuel costs can add up fast. The hybrid Telluride answers that concern without turning the vehicle into a small crossover. You still get three-row utility, strong power, and up to 4,500 lb, or about 2,041 kg, of towing capacity in hybrid form.

Turbo Power Replaces the Old Formula

The gas Telluride also changes significantly. Kia’s U.S. site lists a 2.5L turbocharged gas engine with 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, plus up to 5,000 lb, or about 2,268 kg, of towing capacity.

That is a major shift from the outgoing naturally aspirated V6 personality. The benefit is torque. For real-world driving, torque is what helps when merging onto Highway 417, carrying passengers, or climbing with gear loaded in the back.

A More Useful Family Interior

The 2027 Telluride grows into a more functional family SUV. Kia Media reports up to 86.9 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, which is about 2,461 litres. Behind the third row, Kia lists 22.3 cubic feet, or about 632 litres, for the gas model, and 21.3 cubic feet, or about 603 litres, for the Turbo-Hybrid.

That is the kind of space difference families actually notice. Hockey bags, strollers, Costco runs, airport luggage, and road-trip gear all fit into the ownership equation. For shoppers still deciding whether to wait for the redesigned model or explore current availability, Orléans Kia’s new Kia inventory is the practical next step.

Premium Features That Feel Luxury-Class

Those are not small upgrades. They change the Telluride from “nice family SUV” to “near-luxury family SUV.” This is where Kia has been smart: instead of only chasing horsepower, it is targeting the daily comfort moments owners feel every time they drive.

Should Ottawa Buyers Wait for the 2027 Telluride?

If you want maximum availability and immediate delivery, current Kia SUVs may make more sense today. If you want the newest Telluride design, hybrid efficiency, more advanced interior features, and stronger tech, the 2027 model is worth watching closely. Canadian pricing and final local availability should be confirmed with the dealer, especially because U.S. specifications and Canadian packaging can differ.
