Exploring the New 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid EX: Five Favorite Features

The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid EX arrives with a bold redesign and a compelling set of features that set it apart in the three-row SUV market. If you love boxy vehicles with plenty of cargo space and a modern edge, this Telluride is built for you. Here are five standout features highlighted by Brian Keegan and Nicholas Hodgkiss that make the new Hybrid EX an exciting option.

1. Rugged, Boxy Design

The Telluride’s new exterior emphasizes its boxiness, adding a few extra inches in the cargo area while also giving the vehicle a more substantial, road-dominating presence. Flush headlights and encased taillights are seamlessly integrated into the body, creating a look that’s both aggressive and refined.

2. Hybrid Power and Efficiency

The 2027 Telluride introduces a hybrid option with a 2.5-liter turbo hybrid engine. This powertrain puts out 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque—surpassing the previous V6 model. Even better, it provides an excellent 31 miles per gallon combined, which is remarkable efficiency for a third-row SUV.

3. Smart Access Tailgate

Convenience meets technology with the smart access tailgate. With the key fob in your pocket, simply walking up to the Telluride automatically opens the tailgate—an especially handy feature when your hands are full of groceries or gear.

4. Dual Wireless Phone Chargers

Say goodbye to messy wires! The Telluride Hybrid EX comes equipped with two wireless phone chargers—one for the driver and one for the passenger. Additional charging options are available, but the ease of simply placing your phone on a charger and going is truly next-level.

5. Advanced Connectivity: Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Enjoy seamless access to navigation, music, messaging, phone calls, and a wide range of apps thanks to wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With voice assistant compatibility, you can keep the conversation going and your hands on the wheel—making every drive smarter and safer.

These features only scratch the surface of what the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid EX has to offer. From heated and ventilated seats to multiple drive and terrain modes, this SUV is loaded with thoughtful touches and advanced tech for drivers and passengers alike.
