You’ve probably noticed that Kia is on an absolute tear right now. They’ve completely shed that “cheap daily commuter” reputation and are legitimately building some of the best-looking, most tech-heavy, and fun cars out there.
Looking ahead to 2027, they’re turning it up even more. Whether you need a massive family hauler that doesn’t guzzle gas, a cool EV that actually fits your budget, or a literal pickup truck, their new roster is wild. Here’s what you actually need to know about their upcoming lineup.
2027 Kia Telluride (Now with a Hybrid Option!)
People have been begging for a hybrid Telluride, and Kia is finally delivering. They’re ditching the old V6 for a punchy 2.5-liter turbocharged engine paired with dual electric motors. It’s expected to put out a massive 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque, meaning it’ll have zero issues getting up to highway speeds even when it’s fully loaded with people and gear.
The best part? You’re looking at around 35 MPG combined and well over 600 miles of driving range on a single tank. If you tow, the gas models will still pull up to 5,000 lbs, while the hybrid can handle 4,500 lbs—more than enough for a pop-up camper or small boat.
2027 Kia EV3
I love EVs, but the prices are getting a bit out of hand. The EV3 is Kia’s answer to that—a compact, affordable electric SUV that looks like a little spaceship and is super easy to park in the city.
If you grab the Long Range battery, you should get up to 321 miles on a single charge. When you do need to plug in, a fast charger gets you from 10% to 80% in about 31 minutes. And it’s not slow, either; the top-tier GT model is expected to pack 288 horsepower and hit 60 mph in a quick 5.7 seconds.
2027 Kia EV4
If you’re tired of SUVs and want a car that actually hugs the road, check out the EV4. It blurs the line between a traditional sedan and a sporty hatchback, clearly taking direct aim at the Tesla Model 3.
Performance-wise, the dual-motor GT version should push 288 horsepower and hit 60 mph in a snappy 5.6 seconds. Inside, it’s going full lounge-mode, think super minimalist design, plain white seating options, and massive dual screens stretching across the dash.
2027 Kia EV5
You know the massive, blocky Kia EV9? The EV5 takes that awesome design and shrinks it down into a practical two-row midsize SUV. It’s basically for anyone who loves the EV9’s vibe but doesn’t actually need three rows of seats.
It’s going to be plenty quick, with the EV5 GT getting a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup putting out roughly 302 horsepower. It’s also wildly practical, featuring a massive 20-cubic-foot trunk that makes it perfect for road trips or hauling the dog around. Range should comfortably sit right around the 300-mile mark.
2027 Kia Seltos Hybrid
The Seltos is already everywhere because it’s roomy and looks great. For 2027, Kia is finally bringing a strong-hybrid powertrain to the mix to make it even better as a daily driver.
It’s expected to use a 1.6-liter engine combined with an electric motor for a total output of around 178 horsepower. The big win here is city fuel economy—it should be able to run purely on electric power at low speeds, which is going to be a total lifesaver for your wallet in stop-and-go traffic.
2027 Kia Tasman
Get this Kia is actually making a pickup truck. It’s called the Tasman, and it features a rugged, body-on-frame design built to go toe-to-toe with midsize trucks like the Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger.
Right now, it’s targeting global markets with robust gas and diesel options pushing around 450 Nm of torque to handle heavy payloads and off-roading. We just have to keep our fingers crossed that they eventually bring it over to the US market, because it looks awesome.
Honestly, Kia’s 2027 lineup shows they’re paying close attention to what drivers actually want. Between the high-range EVs, finally hybridizing their best SUVs, and throwing a truck into the mix, they are covering all the bases. Which one of these are you most curious about getting behind the wheel of?
