2027 Kia Telluride HEV X-Line SX-Prestige AWD can make you dizzy
2027 Kia Telluride HEV X-Line SX-Prestige AWD
MSRP: $61,180 | 30 City / 32 HWY / 31 Combined MPG
At sixty-one thousand dollars, you’re spending near-luxury money on a Kia. So the question I came in with was simple: Does this Telluride earn it? After driving it, the answer is mostly yes, with four things you need to know before you sign.
The powertrain is the headline. A 2.5-liter turbo hybrid producing 329 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque, through a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters and all-wheel drive. It pulls cleanly and quietly — no engine surge, no noise drama. Thirty-one miles per gallon combined in a three-row SUV is real money over time, and Kia backs the hybrid battery with a ten-year, hundred-thousand-mile warranty that almost nobody else in this segment will match.
The drive is excellent. Ride quality is smooth and composed on every surface without feeling disconnected. Handling is responsive for a vehicle this size — the hybrid’s e-Handling system earns its keep in corners. The cabin is genuinely quiet, helped by acoustic glass in the windshield and first and second rows. The driver’s seat is supportive, the seat bottom adjusts independently, and the acceleration is seamless. These aren’t marketing claims — I felt all of them.
The interior delivers. Dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays, head-up display, Meridian audio, Ergo Motion driver’s seat, heated and ventilated seats in both the first and second rows, and dual wireless charging. The X-Line package adds 21-inch gloss black wheels, LED fog lights, and distinctive exterior styling. This vehicle also carried the Towing Package — 4,500 pounds of rated capacity — along with a full cargo accessory kit.
Now, the four things nobody at the dealership will mention.
Dashboard glare reflects onto the windshield in direct sunlight. Test drive it on a sunny day — not in the lot shade.
The digital rearview mirror can disorient you. It refocuses your eyes to screen distance instead of road distance, and some drivers — especially those over 45 or wearing progressives — experience blurring and eye strain. Kia’s owner’s manual warns about it. You can switch back to a conventional mirror. Know where that button is.
The second-row seat back takes two hands to raise. At this price, that stands out.
And the dual sunroofs are two separate panels — not a single fixed panoramic roof. Different experience than you might expect.
The verdict: A genuinely capable, well-warranted, fuel-efficient three-row SUV that earns most of its sticker. Buy it for the right reasons — the hybrid, the ride, the warranty — and plan to keep it.
Go sit in it first.

DON’T Buy the 2027 Seltos X Line SX Until You Watch This
Considering the 2027 Kia Seltos X-Line SX AWD? Get a full breakdown of the window sticker and features before you buy.
Thinking about the 2027 Kia Seltos X-Line SX AWD? Before you walk onto the lot, watch this. In this video, I walk you through the full window sticker on a Terrain Brown over Smoky Black Seltos X-Line SX AWD, stickered at $37,205 with the X-Line SX Prestige Package installed, the same way I’d walk my own family through it.
This trim rides on a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with an 8-speed automatic and Torque Vectoring All-Wheel Drive with Terrain Mode. The driver-assistance list is long — Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping and Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go standard, plus Highway Driving Assist, a Blind-Spot View Monitor, and a Surround View Monitor from the Prestige Package. Inside, you’ll find a 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, Harman Kardon premium audio, a driver’s relaxation seat, memory settings, and ventilated front seats, on top of the standard 12.3-inch wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay touchscreen, heated front seats, and 60/40 split-folding rear seats.
I walk you through what I actually liked — the mesh headrests, the camera-based blind spot system, easy entry and exit, the suspension soaking up bumps, and good second-row legroom — and I also cover two things nobody on the lot is going to volunteer: dashboard glare onto the windshield, and a steering wheel that partially blocks the climate control screen.
EPA estimates on this trim come in at 24 city, 30 highway, and 26 combined, backed by Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
This isn’t a commercial. This isn’t a brochure. This is what I’d tell my own family before they signed anything.
