Kia Telluride Secures Fifth Consecutive Best Family SUV Award In 2024

The Kia Telluride has once again been recognized for its outstanding qualities as a family vehicle, securing the title of best 3-row midsize SUV for families from U.S. News & World Report for the fifth consecutive year. This accolade, announced on March 20, 2024, in Irvine, California, underscores the vehicle's consistent performance across several critical areas including safety, reliability, space, convenience, and connectivity.

Steven Center, COO & EVP of Kia America, expressed pride in the Telluride's achievement, attributing it to the vehicle's industry-leading technology, convenience, and safety features. The award is part of U.S. News & World Report's "Best Cars for Families" program which evaluates vehicles based on a comprehensive methodology that includes professional automotive reviews, safety and reliability ratings, as well as seating and cargo volume.

John Vincent, senior editor/vehicle testing at U.S. News & World Report, praised the Kia Telluride for setting a high standard for what a three-row family SUV should offer. He highlighted the vehicle's appealing tech features and excellent warranty as key factors in its continued success.

The 2024 model of the Telluride has enhanced its already eye-catching design with a more rugged and refined appearance. Notably, amber daytime running lights come standard across all models. The Telluride X-Line and X-Pro models further distinguish themselves with black gloss exterior trim on various parts of the vehicle.

Inside, the Telluride offers a spacious and comfortable interior that can accommodate up to eight passengers, making it an ideal choice for larger families. This focus on providing ample space is just one of the many reasons why the Telluride continues to be a top pick among family SUVs.
