Kia Telluride And EV9 Achieve Recognition In U.S. News & World Report's 2025 Best Cars For Families Awards

The 2025 Kia Telluride has been named the "Best 3-Row Midsize SUV for Families" by U.S. News & World Report for the sixth consecutive year. Additionally, the Kia EV9 has won its first award as the "Best Electric Vehicle for Families." These accolades highlight Kia's commitment to producing family-friendly vehicles with a focus on quality and innovation.

U.S. News & World Report selected the Telluride and EV9 from over 100 vehicles across nine categories. The winning cars, SUVs, and minivans are chosen based on their composite scores in safety, reliability, seating and cargo volume, and family-friendly features. This recognition underscores Kia's dedication to engineering vehicles that meet family needs.

"The Telluride is a repeat winner thanks to its popular mixture of space, features, practicality and excellent safety scores. The EV9 offers a similar blend, but with lower energy costs, quick charging and a style of its own," says Alex Kwanten, managing editor of Autos for U.S. News & World Report. "As the first relatively affordable 3-row electric SUV on the market, the EV9 also meaningfully expands families’ choices."

Steven Center, COO & EVP of Kia America, expressed pride in these achievements: "These accolades validate Kia’s dedication to engineering high-quality vehicles designed to fulfill the needs of the entire family." He noted that it is an honour for both models to be recognised among the 2025 Best Cars for Families.

The Telluride has consistently impressed since its launch, while the EV9 has quickly gained recognition just one year after its debut. Both models feature spacious 3-row interiors ideal for families and incorporate advanced technology and design elements.
