Six Kia Models Make the List!
We are thrilled to announce that SIX Kia models were named Car and Driver 2022 Editors’ Choice award winners! More than 400 models were tested, rated and ranked across all segments. All vehicle types, including crossovers, SUVs, electric vehicles, sedans, trucks, and family sized vans were taken into account. The Car and Driver team of automotive experts explored the data, drove hundreds of thousands of miles, and applied rigorous testing to determine the best vehicles available today!
The Kia Telluride, Sorento, Carnival, K5, Soul and Rio all made the cut thanks to the combination of style, performance and value packed into these vehicles! Each one fulfills its intended mission wonderfully and delivers great value for it’s price point.
Here’s what Car and Driver has to say about these six models:
“Attractive, affordable, and practical, the Kia Telluride is comprehensively excellent.” The Telluride also made Car and Driver’s 10 Best list, which celebrates their top 10 picks across all market segments, and it’s easy to see why. The Telluride is everything you want from an SUV. You can haul the entire family in comfort and style. Enjoy a vehicle that is packed to the brim with desirable features without breaking the bank. While the V6 engine isn’t as frugal with fuel as some 4 cylinder competitors, you’ll have the power to get where you want to go.
“The Sorento is a handsome and satisfying mid-size SUV for folks who don’t need the Kia Telluride’s extra space.” The recent redesign of the Sorento finds an unique balance of class and rugged both inside and out. There are lots of powertrain options, allowing you to find the right configuration for your needs and budget. It is pleasant to drive and comfortable for all passengers.
“Fashionable styling, a comfortable and well-equipped cabin and a refined V6 powertrain make the Carnival a desirable entry into the minivan segment.” When Kia changed their minivan option from the Sedona, to the Carnival, they kicked the idea of a stereotypical minivan to the curb. The Carnival’s new design is a head turner. You’ll feel great behind the wheel thanks to the refined powertrain and well-balanced chassis. The tech enhancements and driver assist features will keep your family entertained and safe on those family road trips, to the mountains and beyond.
“The Kia Soul hides practicality beneath its funky design and remains one of our favorite small crossovers.” The experts are a fan of the iconic Soul styling and surprisingly spacious interior. While not all driver assists are standard, the Soul provides a good feature-per-dollar ratio. So, if you want all the options, you can certainly get them. However, if you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, and who isn’t these days, you can choose a base trim to save some dough.
“The K5 is a stylish and nicely appointed family sedan, and also a great value.” Both the interior and exterior of the K5 are beautifully designed. The price point is accessible, offering tons of the most popular features available on the market today. You can access your vehicle from your smartphone, with remote start, climate settings, security, and maintenance updates. If you want more pep, the 290-hp GT model is a thrill to drive.
“With a sophisticated driving experience and solid array of standard features, the Ria offers a lot of car for not a lot of money.” The Rio is sure to trick you into thinking you’re driving a more expensive car. It handles well, has a pleasant and simple interior with standard features like wireless smartphone mirroring.
