We just bought a 27 SX-P hybrid, and after owning a 21 and 23 Telly, I can say that the 27 is a big step up! We drove it home over 40 miles of mountain roads and when we got home it showed 38.2 mpg, Love that. In addition the interior is SOOOO quiet, and the sound system is outstanding. If anyone is on the fence, just go test drive one, you will be impressed.

Congrats, I also have my eye on trading mine in for the Hybrid. Just waiting for dealers to be realistic about pricing.

Got a Hybrid 3 days ago. Awesome tech! Just starting to understand the nuances of the different Hybrid Drive Modes. Very smooth transition between Electric >Gas. Fascinating to watch the Hybrid Display and be able to see the power flowing through the whole power train.
Super smooth and quiet ride. AC compressor is Electrically driven. The gas engine does not have to be on for it to run.

2027 X-Line SX Hybrid and like it a lot more than I thought I would. My Tacoma was my heart but it got totaled, not my fault, and I needed room for a growing family anyway but I digress. New Telly is great. Only complaints are the SCC seems looser and not as tight as our 2025 Carnival's. Also, the Telly's spy cam won't let me drive in my most comfortable arm position, arm hanging down the center of the steering wheel, without warnings and eventual disconnect of SCC. The vehicle stability system seems a bit too intrusive as well. Other than that I love it. I also previously owned a Mercedes GLE 43 and I'm surprised at the luxury elements the new Telly has, quietness, ride comfort, and technology in comparison to the Merc. It's an overall very comfortable car. No tow package but may install later for watercraft. 90% of my driving is neighborhood driving as I work close to home but I'm averaging 24ish combined MPG. I drive with a light foot around town but have a heavy foot on the freeways.
