The Hybrid Wins on Both Counts, Which Is Unusual
Most hybrid decisions involve a trade: better fuel economy in exchange for less power, higher cost, or added complexity. The 2027 Telluride Hybrid does not follow that pattern. It produces 329 combined horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque against the gas model’s 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft — and returns up to 35 MPG combined where the gas Telluride manages 22.
For a Wichita buyer running the Kansas Turnpike or I-135 regularly, that spread is the whole argument. More power for passing on two-lane highways, and meaningfully fewer stops across a year of long Kansas distances.
The hybrid system adds to the turbocharged 2.5L rather than replacing displacement with compromise. 329 combined horsepower makes the Hybrid the most powerful Telluride Kia builds, and 339 lb-ft of torque is available where highway merging needs it.
The EX front-wheel-drive configuration reaches up to 637 miles on a tank. Wichita to Kansas City and back is roughly 400 miles — comfortably a single-tank round trip with meaningful reserve.
All-wheel-drive configurations are rated 30 city / 32 highway / 31 combined. That is a four-MPG combined step down from the FWD EX, but still roughly 40 percent better than the gas Telluride — so winter traction does not mean surrendering the hybrid advantage.
Finishes to Settle Before You Order
Ten exterior finishes are offered for 2027, with availability tied to configuration. For Wichita buyers planning to order rather than buy from stock, the key split is X-Line: Panthera Metal Matte, Terrain Brown, and Terrain Brown Matte are available only on X-Line trims, which are also the AWD configurations:

Interior Color & Material Combinations
Interior combinations narrow trim by trim. Several are exclusive to one configuration, so if a specific cabin is part of your decision it is worth settling the trim question at the same time:
Black SynTex
EX • SX • X-Line SX
Black & Butter Brown SynTex
EX Exclusive
Deep Navy & Tuscan Umber SynTex
SX • SX Prestige
Millstone & Saddle Brown SynTex
X-Line SX
Black & Millstone SynTex
X-Line SX • X-Line SX Prestige
Black SynTex & SynTex Suede
SX Prestige • X-Line SX Prestige
Exterior and interior availability is tied to trim level and production timing. X-Line matte finishes and earth tones are not offered on non-X-Line trims. Contact our team to confirm which combinations are available on current inventory.
Fuel Numbers for Long Kansas 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 Wichita buyers covering long Turnpike and I-135 distances, the FWD EX at 36 MPG highway is the strongest configuration. Buyers who want AWD for South Kansas winters should know the highway figure drops to 32 — still well ahead of any gas three-row in the segment.

Book AppointmentWhat Wichita-Area Buyers Say
I test drove the gas Telluride first and then the Hybrid back to back. The Hybrid was quicker and gets far better economy. That is not the trade I expected to find. The drive to NKC was worth the selection.
Wichita to Kansas City and back on one tank with range left over. That alone changed how I think about family trips. Oakes Kia handled the Kansas paperwork without any complication.
I wanted AWD for winter and assumed I would give up most of the hybrid benefit. 31 combined is still far better than the gas version. They were straight with me about the numbers instead of glossing over it.
Questions From Wichita-Area Shoppers
Is the Telluride Hybrid actually more powerful than the gas model?
Yes, and by a meaningful margin. The Hybrid produces 329 combined horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque against 274 horsepower and 311 lb-ft for the 2.5L turbo gas Telluride. It is the most powerful Telluride in the lineup.
How much better is the fuel economy, really?
The gas Telluride is rated up to 22 MPG combined. The Hybrid reaches up to 35 MPG combined in EX FWD form — better than a 50 percent improvement. Even AWD Hybrid configurations at 31 combined are roughly 40 percent ahead of the gas model.
Is the drive from Wichita to Oakes Kia NKC worth it?
Wichita buyers consistently say yes, mainly for inventory depth across all five hybrid trims and the ability to compare configurations directly. Completing the application and trade estimate online first keeps the in-person visit short.
Does Oakes Kia NKC handle Kansas title and registration?
Yes. We process Kansas title and registration routinely and structure the deal around Kansas tax requirements from the first conversation rather than at the end.
Which matte colors require an X-Line trim?
Panthera Metal Matte, Terrain Brown, and Terrain Brown Matte are all exclusive to X-Line configurations. Because X-Line trims are AWD, choosing one of those finishes also determines your drivetrain and fuel economy rating.
