New 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid For Sale Near Lebanon, MO
View Telluride Hybrid InventoryOAKES KIA NKC • SERVING LEBANON & LACLEDE COUNTY • 130 MILES VIA I-44
When Everything Is 100 Miles Away, Efficiency Compounds
Lebanon sits on I-44 at the northern edge of the Missouri Ozarks, and distance shapes how families here use a vehicle. Kansas City is 130 miles. Springfield is 55. Specialist appointments, college visits, weekend trips to the lake — the miles add up in a way they simply do not in a metro.
That is the context where the 2027 Telluride Hybrid makes the clearest case. Up to 35 MPG combined and 637 miles of range in EX front-wheel-drive form, against 22 MPG combined for the gas Telluride. Over a year of Laclede County driving distances, that is not a rounding difference.
The EX front-wheel-drive configuration reaches up to 637 miles of range. The round trip to Kansas City is roughly 260 miles — well inside a single tank, with enough margin that fuel stops stop being part of the plan.
The turbocharged hybrid powertrain produces 329 combined horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Pulling a loaded three-row up out of a river valley or merging onto I-44 with seven aboard is not something the Telluride Hybrid labors at.
All-wheel-drive configurations handle the seasonal conditions and maintained gravel common around Laclede County, rated at 31 MPG combined — still roughly 40 percent better than the gas Telluride.
What Each Setup Returns on Ozark Distances
Telluride Hybrid fuel economy varies by both trim and drivetrain — worth understanding before you choose, because the spread between the most and least efficient configuration is meaningful:
EX — Front-Wheel Drive
Most Efficient Configuration
34 City / 36 Hwy / 35 Combined
SX — Front-Wheel Drive
FWD Step-Up Trim
32 City / 34 Hwy / 33 Combined
All AWD Configurations
X-Line & AWD-Equipped Trims
30 City / 32 Hwy / 31 Combined
For Lebanon-area buyers, the configuration choice usually comes down to how much unpaved road is in your week. Those running mostly I-44 and Highway 5 pavement get the most from the FWD EX at 35 MPG combined; those with gravel in the daily routine generally take the AWD rating of 31 combined and still come out well ahead of a gas three-row.

Book AppointmentWhat Ozark Corridor Owners Say
We drive to Kansas City and Springfield constantly and the fuel difference against our old three-row is dramatic. Round trip to KC on one tank with range left. Oakes Kia worked with our farm income without making it complicated.
No plug, no charger, no change to anything about how we use the vehicle — just half the fuel stops. That was exactly what we wanted and they did not try to steer us toward something more complex.
Went with the X-Line for the AWD because our road is gravel the last stretch. 31 combined with all-wheel drive and seven seats is still better than anything else we looked at.
Questions From Lebanon-Area Shoppers
How far can the Telluride Hybrid travel on a tank?
The EX front-wheel-drive configuration reaches up to 637 miles of range at 35 MPG combined. That covers the Lebanon-to-Kansas City round trip of roughly 260 miles with substantial margin remaining.
Does it need to be plugged in?
No. The Telluride Hybrid is a conventional hybrid, not a plug-in. The battery charges through regenerative braking and engine operation, so there is no charging equipment, no electrical work, and no routine to adopt.
How does Oakes Kia handle agricultural or variable income financing?
Our finance team works with lenders experienced in rural Missouri buyer profiles, including agricultural income and seasonal cash flow documentation. We present options structured around your actual income rather than a standardized template.
Can I service the hybrid at Oakes Kia from Lebanon?
Yes. Our Burlington Street service center is staffed with Kia-certified technicians trained on hybrid systems. We understand a 130-mile service trip needs to be efficient and work to complete qualifying visits same-day.
Which configuration suits gravel county roads?
The X-Line SX and X-Line SX Prestige carry standard all-wheel drive with a raised ride height, rated at 31 MPG combined. For buyers whose driving is mostly paved, the FWD EX at 35 MPG combined is the more efficient choice.
