2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid Trim Level Guide
The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid Lineup
Three-row SUV shoppers across Vero Beach and the Treasure Coast already know the Kia Telluride by reputation, and current owners know exactly what they love about it. The 2027 Telluride Hybrid adds a new powertrain, real fuel savings, and five distinct trims, so before you compare a single window sticker, here's what actually changed.
The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid trim guide covers five trims: EX, SX, X-Line SX, SX Prestige, and X-Line SX Prestige. Every trim pairs a 329 hp turbo-hybrid powertrain with up to an estimated 35 mpg combined and seven-passenger seating, starting at $48,035 MSRP.
Our team at Kia of Vero Beach works with Telluride shoppers across Sebastian, Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie, and Indian River County every week, and we've broken down every 2027 hybrid trim in plain terms. By the end of this guide, you'll know exactly which trim fits your commute, your family, and your budget.
Key Points: 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid Trim Guide
- More power than the outgoing V6. The 2027 Telluride Hybrid's turbo engine and electric motor combine for 329 hp, a real gain over the gas-only V6 it replaces in Kia's three-row lineup.
- Real fuel savings on Treasure Coast commutes. The EX trim delivers up to an estimated 35 mpg combined, a meaningful jump over most three-row SUVs covering the same US-1 corridor.
- One dealership, the full lineup. Kia of Vero Beach carries all five 2027 Telluride Hybrid trims, so drivers from Sebastian to Port St. Lucie can compare EX through X-Line SX Prestige in person.
2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid Trims at a Glance
Five trims can feel like a lot to sort through before your first test drive. Here's the full lineup side by side, with starting MSRP and what each price tier actually buys you.
| Trim | Drivetrain | Starting MSRP | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| EX | FWD (AWD available) | $48,035 | Best fuel economy in the lineup, an estimated 35 mpg combined, at the lowest cost of entry into the hybrid powertrain |
| SX | FWD | $53,035 | Adds premium Meridian audio and surround-view cameras for families who want more tech before they need AWD |
| X-Line SX | AWD (standard) | $56,035 | Standard all-wheel drive and terrain modes add traction for wet coastal roads and boat-ramp trips |
| SX Prestige | AWD (standard) | $58,135 | Heated and ventilated second-row captain's chairs and a head-up display bring near-luxury comfort to a three-row SUV |
| X-Line SX Prestige | AWD (standard) | $59,135 | Combines X-Line's off-road-ready AWD with every Prestige comfort feature, the most complete trim in the lineup |
Prices shown are manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP), include the $1,545 destination charge, and exclude tax, tag, title, and dealer fees. Fuel economy figures are EPA estimates. Contact Kia of Vero Beach to confirm current pricing and availability.
A few things stand out once the lineup is laid out this way. The entry-level EX actually earns the best fuel economy in the family, not a stripped-down base model that trades efficiency for a lower price. Every 2027 Telluride Hybrid trim also outguns the outgoing V6 Telluride on horsepower, so the switch to a hybrid powertrain isn't a step down in power to gain mpg, it's a step up in both. A hybrid powertrain pairs a turbocharged gas engine with a battery and electric motor to add power while cutting fuel use, no plug-in charging required, and every trim here runs the same one.

2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid Trim Level Overview
The 2027 Telluride Hybrid EX: The Smart Starting Point
The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid EX starts at $48,035 MSRP and delivers the best fuel economy in the entire hybrid lineup, an estimated 35 mpg combined in front-wheel drive. That number matters on the daily run between Vero Beach and Fort Pierce, where a longer stretch between fill-ups adds up fast.
The EX comes standard with heated and ventilated front seats, dual wireless phone chargers, and tri-zone climate control, so the entry trim doesn't feel like a stripped-down one. Seven-passenger seating with second-row captain's chairs is standard across the entire hybrid lineup, EX included. All-wheel drive is available on the EX for drivers who want extra traction without moving up a trim. For commuters and first-time Telluride buyers, the EX is where the hybrid math works hardest in your favor.
The 2027 Telluride Hybrid SX: More Tech for Daily Drivers
The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid SX starts at $53,035 MSRP and steps up the technology while staying close to the EX on efficiency, an estimated 33 mpg combined. A Meridian premium audio system, Surround View Monitor, and Blind-Spot View Monitor add real everyday convenience, and Highway Driving Assist 2 comes standard, a meaningful upgrade for anyone logging highway miles on I-95 between Vero Beach and Port St. Lucie.
Wheels grow to 20 inches on the SX, and it keeps the same 329 hp turbo-hybrid powertrain and seven-passenger captain's chair layout found on every trim in the lineup. The SX is built for drivers who want more tech before they want more traction.
The 2027 Telluride Hybrid X-Line SX: Standard AWD, Coastal-Ready
The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid X-Line SX starts at $56,035 MSRP and is the first trim in the hybrid lineup with standard all-wheel drive. Snow, Mud, and Sand terrain modes give the X-Line SX real versatility, useful for hauling gear to a Treasure Coast boat ramp or handling a sudden downpour on US-1.
Blacked-out wheel arches, side mirrors, and a mesh-style grille mark the X-Line's exterior, alongside raised roof rails and 21-inch wheels. A heated steering wheel comes standard too. This is the trim built for drivers who want the Telluride Hybrid's efficiency without giving up all-weather confidence.
The 2027 Telluride Hybrid SX Prestige: Near-Luxury Comfort
The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid SX Prestige starts at $58,135 MSRP and adds the comfort features that turn a family SUV into a genuine road-trip vehicle. Heated and ventilated second-row captain's chairs, a 12-inch head-up display, and a digital rearview mirror all come standard. Digital Key 2 lets drivers use a smartphone or smartwatch in place of a traditional key, and Remote Smart Parking Assist handles tight spots without a passenger outside the vehicle.
An optional Executive Package adds relaxation seating up front and heated outboard seats in the third row, a welcome touch when family visits for the season. SX Prestige comes with standard all-wheel drive, so every comfort upgrade arrives with the traction to match.
The 2027 Telluride Hybrid X-Line SX Prestige: The Complete Lineup Topper
The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid X-Line SX Prestige starts at $59,135 MSRP and combines everything the lineup offers into one trim. Standard all-wheel drive and X-Line's off-road-inspired styling pair with every SX Prestige comfort feature, from heated second-row captain's chairs to the head-up display and digital rearview mirror.
This is the only trim that doesn't ask buyers to choose between rugged styling and upscale comfort. At just over $11,000 above the EX, it sits at the top of the 2027 Telluride Hybrid range without stepping outside mainstream three-row SUV pricing.
