Big families usually have to pick between a roomy SUV and one that’s easy on gas. The Kia Telluride Hybrid gives you both, pairing seating for seven with a turbocharged hybrid system that earns up to 35 MPG combined. At Ray Skillman Southside Kia, we’re helping drivers near Martinsville, Indiana, find the right trim for their household.
Now that Kia offers the Telluride with a hybrid powertrain, plenty of families rethinking what a three-row SUV can be. Our team can walk you through each trim, set up a test drive, and answer any questions about how a hybrid fits your routine.

Under the hood sits a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder teamed with electric motors and a 1.65-kWh lithium-ion battery. Together, they produce 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque, which is more than the gas-only Telluride offers. A six-speed automatic transmission handles shifting, and that instant electric torque makes merging onto I-69 feel easy, even with a full load of passengers.
You’ll notice the hybrid most at the pump. The EX with front-wheel drive is EPA-rated at 34 city and 36 highway MPG, along with an estimated total range of up to 637 miles on a full tank. The SX with front-wheel drive earns 33 MPG combined, and all-wheel-drive versions are rated at 31 MPG combined. Need to bring the camper along? The Kia Telluride Hybrid tows up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped, and available self-leveling rear suspension keeps things steady with a trailer hooked up.
Every hybrid trim comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so your playlists and maps are ready the moment you start the car. A standard 115-volt inverter in the back lets you power a laptop or charge gear at the campsite. From the SX trim on, you get dual 12.3-inch displays and a 14-speaker Meridian audio system that makes long drives a lot more fun.
The SX Prestige and X-Line SX Prestige add a 12-inch head-up display and Digital Key 2, which lets a compatible smartphone or smartwatch unlock and start the SUV. Remote Smart Parking Assist on those trims can even ease the Telluride into or out of a tight spot while you stand outside. Kia’s Electric-Vehicle Motion Control comes standard too, using motor and brake inputs to keep the SUV composed through curves.
Ten airbags come standard, including a front-row center airbag. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Safe Exit Assist, and Rear Occupant Alert help keep watch over everyone on board. Higher trims add Highway Driving Assist 2, a Surround View Monitor, and a Blind-Spot View Monitor that shows a live camera feed right in the driver’s display.
Second-row captain’s chairs come on every hybrid trim, giving seven passengers plenty of personal space and an easy path to the third row. Heated and ventilated front seats are standard, and the Prestige trims add heated and ventilated second-row seats. Cargo space measures 21.3 cubic feet behind the third row and grows to 88.3 cubic feet with both rear rows folded, which is enough for a weekend of camping gear.
The lineup runs from a well-equipped EX to two Prestige trims loaded with extras. Here’s how all five hybrid trims compare on the features shoppers ask about most.
