Powertrain and trim details are as published by Kia as of October 16, 2026. Hybrid, plug-in and electric availability varies by trim and by vehicle in stock.
Seltos. Kia's second-generation Seltos takes styling cues from the Telluride. A 2.0-liter engine is offered on LX, S, X-Line S and EX trims, and a turbocharged 1.6-liter on the X-Line SX. Kia also lists a Seltos hybrid with electric all-wheel drive. Ask us about arrival timing.
Telluride. The 2027 Telluride is a new generation, about 2.3 inches longer than before and offered with seating for seven or eight. A turbocharged 2.5-liter engine is standard. The new hybrid adds up to 329 horsepower and a Kia-estimated 35 mpg combined, and it comes in a narrower set of trims than the gas model. X-Pro trims add off-road capability.
EV3. The EV3 is new to the U.S. for 2027, in Light, Wind, Land, GT-Line and GT trims. The Light uses a 58.3 kWh battery with EPA-estimated range of up to 221 miles. The other trims use an 81.4 kWh battery with up to 321 miles on front-wheel drive and 280 miles on all-wheel drive. Every U.S. EV3 has a native NACS charge port, so it can plug into NACS fast chargers without an adapter.
Niro. The Niro is now offered only as a hybrid. It gets redesigned front and rear ends with Kia's Star Map lighting, new exterior colors, an updated cabin and a new S trim alongside LX, EX and SX.
Carnival. Second-row captain's chairs are newly available on EX and SX trims. Iceberg Green joins the paint palette and Flare Red is gone. Rear-seat entertainment is now offered only on Hybrid SX Prestige models with VIP Lounge seats.
Sportage. The Sportage Hybrid adds front-wheel drive on S and EX trims, giving hybrid shoppers a more accessible way in. The Sportage family covers gas, hybrid and plug-in hybrid models.
K5. The EX trim is gone, so the K5 is offered as the LXS, GT-Line and GT. The GT-Line gains an available convenience package with ventilated seats, a driver memory seat and power-folding mirrors, and all-wheel drive remains available on the GT-Line. The GT keeps its 290-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter engine. Kia lists 17 standard collision-avoidance and driver-assistance features.
K4. The sedan and hatchback carry over their powertrains. Kia adds 18-inch black alloy wheels to the optional GT-Line Premium package on both body styles.
Sorento. Largely unchanged for 2027. A new Jade Black Green paint color replaces Jungle Green. The gas model uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, and Kia lists a Sorento hybrid for 2027.
Kia's media site lists no 2027 model year for the Soul, Niro EV or Niro plug-in hybrid, and shows 2026 as the latest year for the EV6, EV9 and Sorento plug-in hybrid. That can change as Kia publishes more, and some of these may still be available as 2026 models. If one of them is on your list, ask us what we have in stock.
Three models are all-new or new to the U.S.: the second-generation Seltos, the second-generation Telluride with its first hybrid, and the EV3 electric SUV. The Niro is refreshed and now hybrid-only. The Carnival, Sportage and K5 get updates, and the K4 and Sorento see only small changes.
Yes. The 2027 Telluride adds the model's first hybrid, a turbocharged 2.5-liter system with up to 329 horsepower and a Kia-estimated 35 mpg combined. It is offered in a narrower set of trims than the gas model, so ask us which are in stock.
The EV3 is the all-electric model on Kia's 2027 list. It has two battery sizes, with EPA-estimated range of up to 221 miles on the Light trim and up to 321 miles on the others with front-wheel drive, and a native NACS charge port.
Kia's media site lists no 2027 model year for the Soul, Niro EV or Niro plug-in hybrid, and the K5 EX trim has been dropped for 2027. The K5 is offered as the LXS, GT-Line and GT.
