Seven Kia Models Recognised In 2025 Car And Driver Editors’ Choice Awards List
Seven Kia models have been recognised in the 2025 Car and Driver Editors’ Choice Awards. This annual list highlights top automotive performers. The selected models include the K5, EV6, Niro Hybrid, EV9, Carnival, Carnival Hybrid, and the Telluride. These vehicles showcase Kia's diverse range of gasoline-powered cars, hybrids, and electric vehicles.
The recognition spans across Kia's lineup of gas-powered vehicles, hybrids, and electric cars. Steven Center, COO & EVP of Kia America, stated: "With seven models earning a place on this prestigious list, Kia has proven its excellence across the board – from gas-powered vehicles to hybrids and EVs." This achievement underscores Kia’s dedication to quality and performance.
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.
