The 2027 Kia Telluride arrives at Tustin Kia as a completely redesigned masterpiece, marking the second generation of the most awarded SUV in its class. As a proud member of Patterson Autos, we are excited to showcase how this midsize three-row SUV has evolved to meet the diverse needs of Orange County drivers. From the busy suburban streets near Old Towne Orange to the scenic, winding paths of Laguna Canyon Road, the 2027 Kia Telluride provides the perfect blend of luxury, efficiency, and ruggedness. Whether you are commuting through southern California or heading out for a weekend at the beach, this vehicle adapts to your life.
What makes the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid so efficient?
The 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid utilizes a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with dual electric motors to produce 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. This advanced powertrain allows the vehicle to achieve a Kia-estimated 35 mpg combined and a total driving range of up to 600 miles.
This efficiency is a game-changer for Tustin drivers who frequently face heavy traffic on the 5 Freeway or the 261 Toll Road. The hybrid model also introduces a "Stay Mode," which allows the battery to power climate control and electronics for up to 20 minutes without the gasoline engine running. This is ideal for those waiting at school pick-up zones or enjoying a sunset at the Newport Coast.
How much interior space does the 2027 Kia Telluride offer?
The 2027 Kia Telluride has grown to 199.2 inches in length with a 116.9-inch wheelbase, resulting in significantly more legroom for second- and third-row passengers. The cargo area has also expanded to 22.3 cubic feet behind the third row, or up to 86.9 cubic feet with all seats folded.
For growing families in southern California, this extra space is vital. The redesigned second-row seats now slide further forward, even with a car seat installed, making access to the back row easier than ever. Whether you are loading up surfboards for a trip to Huntington Beach or packing gear for a soccer tournament at the Tustin Sports Park, the 2027 Kia Telluride handles the load with ease.
