Kia Telluride Hybrid Fishers, IN
Three Rows, Hybrid Efficiency, and Plenty of Power
Families near Fishers, IN, have been waiting for a three-row SUV that sips fuel without feeling sluggish, and the Kia Telluride Hybrid is built for exactly that. At Kia of Muncie, we have this new hybrid ready for test drives, with five trims that range from practical daily driving to bold X-Line style.
- A turbocharged hybrid system makes 329 horsepower while earning up to 35 MPG combined in front-wheel-drive EX form.
- Five trims build on each other with larger displays, Meridian audio, and upgraded seating as you move up the lineup.
- Seating for seven and a long list of driver assistance features make family road trips easier on everyone.
Kia built the Telluride's reputation on space, style, and value. This hybrid version keeps all of that and adds the kind of fuel savings that make a real dent in your monthly budget. Our team knows it well and can help you match the right trim to the way you drive.
Hybrid Power That Pulls Its Weight
Every Kia Telluride Hybrid runs on a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder paired with an electric motor and a 1.65-kWh lithium-ion battery. Together, they produce 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque, routed through a six-speed automatic with steering-wheel paddle shifters. That's a healthy bump over the gas-only Telluride and its 274-horsepower turbo engine, so merging onto the highway with a full load of passengers never feels like a struggle.
Efficiency is the real headline. The EX with front-wheel drive earns an EPA-estimated 34 city, 36 highway, and 35 combined MPG, and the front-wheel-drive SX comes in at 33 combined. All-wheel-drive models are rated at 31 combined. Towing tops out at 4,500 lb with the available factory hitch, which is enough for a small camper or a fishing boat, and Tow Mode comes standard to help keep things steady behind you.
Screens and Sound for the Whole Crew
A 12.3-inch navigation touchscreen comes standard on every trim, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The EX pairs it with a 4.2-inch driver display, while the SX and above add a 12.3-inch digital cluster that joins the touchscreen in one wide panoramic layout. Music lovers will appreciate the Meridian premium audio system with 14 speakers, standard from the SX on up.
A few hybrid-specific tricks stand out, too. Stay Mode lets you run the climate control and touchscreen from the hybrid battery while parked, which is handy when you're waiting in the school pickup line on a hot afternoon. SX Prestige trims add a 12-inch head-up display, a full-display digital rearview mirror, and Digital Key 2.0, which lets a compatible smartphone unlock and start the SUV.
Room to Spread Out and Drive with Confidence
Seating for seven comes standard, with second-row captain's chairs that tilt and slide at the touch of a button, making it easy for third-row passengers to climb in. Cargo space measures 21.3 cubic feet behind the third row, 47.7 cubic feet behind the second row, and 88.3 cubic feet with both rear rows folded. SX Prestige models treat second-row riders to heated and ventilated outboard seats, and the driver gets a 10-way power seat with Ergo Motion and a power leg extension.
Kia also packs this SUV with driver assistance features. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Following Assist, and Blind-Spot Collision Warning help keep watch during busy commutes on I-69, and Rear Occupant Alert reminds you to check the back seat before you walk away. Safe Exit Warning can alert passengers to approaching traffic before a door opens, and 10 airbags, including a front center airbag, round out the protection.
