Explore the Kia Telluride Hybrid at Peltier Kia Longview
For the first time ever, Kia's flagship three-row SUV comes with a hybrid option, and it's not a watered-down version of the gas Telluride. It's the more powerful choice in the lineup, pairing genuine efficiency with a meaningful jump in torque. Peltier Kia Longview is bringing in the all-new Telluride Hybrid for East Texas families who want three-row capability without the fuel bill that usually comes with it.
329 Horsepower, the Most of Any Telluride
The Telluride Hybrid combines a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder with electric motors and a 1.65-kWh lithium-ion battery for a combined 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. That makes it the most powerful Telluride in the lineup, outpacing even the standard turbocharged gas engine by a meaningful margin.
Up to 35 MPG Combined and 600 Miles of Range
Kia estimates the Telluride Hybrid at up to 35 mpg combined, with a total estimated driving range of around 600 miles on a full tank. For a three-row SUV this size, that's a genuinely significant efficiency story, especially for families covering long stretches on road trips.
A Six-Speed Automatic With Standard Torque Vectoring
Power routes through a six-speed automatic transmission, a different setup than the gas model's eight-speed, and the Telluride Hybrid comes standard with Kia's electronic dynamic torque vectoring control. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available for buyers who want added traction.
Stay Mode Powers Accessories Without the Engine Running
A "Stay" mode lets the Telluride Hybrid's battery pack power accessories like climate control, lighting, and audio for roughly 20 minutes, or until the battery drops to about 20%, without ever starting the gas engine. It's a genuinely useful feature for tailgating, campsite setup, or simply waiting in the car with the kids without idling.
Four Trims: EX, SX, SX-Prestige, and X-Line
The Telluride Hybrid is offered in EX, SX, SX-Prestige, and X-Line trims, a more focused lineup than the seven-trim gas Telluride. It skips the base LX and S trims as well as the off-road-focused X-Pro, positioning the hybrid as a mid-to-upper-trim choice rather than an entry point.
Slightly Reduced Towing Compared to the Gas Model
The added weight of the hybrid battery and motors brings towing capacity down slightly to 4,500 pounds, compared to 5,000 pounds on the gas-powered Telluride. It's still genuinely useful capability for a trailer, small camper, or boat, just worth knowing about if towing is a priority.
