2022 Kia Telluride Named a Best Family Car by Kelley Blue Book’s

The Kia Telluride, the brand’s most decorated SUV ever, is one of the Best Family Cars of 2022, according to Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com, marking the third year in a row the vehicle has taken top honors.

“The award-winning Telluride has been impressing industry experts and consumers alike since going on sale three years ago,” said Steven Center, COO and EVP, Kia America. “With an unrivaled combination of value, comfort, utility and convenience, we are confident that Kia’s largest SUV will continue to succeed in a highly competitive segment, and this latest award from Kelley Blue Book is proof.” Not surprisingly, 93 percent of Telluride owners rate ‘usefulness for carrying passengers and cargo’ either truly outstanding or excellent, higher than all other competitors in the segment.¹

“The Kia Telluride burst onto the scene a few years ago and is still shaking up the segment,” said Jason Allan, editorial director at Kelley Blue Book. “Our experts have lauded the 3-row midsize SUV as a best buy year after year and continue to be impressed by its unmatched mix of presence and practicality.”
