Kia Models Win Car and Driver Awards

Car and Driver editors evaluated nearly 500 models across 45 vehicle segments. Their selections are based on rigorous testing and expert evaluations. The chosen vehicles are those they would recommend to readers and family alike. The awards help consumers identify top market options easily.

Editors’ Choice winners are determined by Car and Driver’s stringent testing processes. They consider factors like value, driving enjoyment, and segment rankings. Only 2025 models that have been personally tested by staff are eligible for these awards.

Tony Quiroga, Editor-in-Chief at Car and Driver, remarked: "The Editors' Choice award recognizes performance, value, and mission fulfillment and Kia's lineup of gas, hybrid, and electrics have won seven for 2025." This highlights the brand's strong presence in various vehicle categories.

Telluride's Continued Success

The Telluride model continues its success streak by being named to Car and Driver’s 10Best Trucks and SUVs list for the sixth year running. This further cements its reputation as a leading choice among SUVs.

Kia America is headquartered in Irvine, California. It consistently ranks high in automotive quality surveys. Recognised as one of TIME World's Most Sustainable Companies in 2024, Kia offers a wide range of vehicles through over 775 U.S. dealers.

Some trims of the EV6 and EV9 all-electric SUVs are assembled in the U.S., using both domestic and global parts. This reflects Kia’s commitment to sustainability while maintaining high-quality standards.
