Exceptional things are happening at Kia. Recently announced Kia now has the most vehicles labeled with the Top Safety Picks and Top Safety Picks Plus from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The all-new 2020 Kia Telluride was awarded a top safety pick and received the highest rating in every crash test. we’re happy to share more about Kia growing as a brand that stands more for safety and innovation than ever before.

More on the Safety Ratings 

The Top Safety Pick for the 2020 Kia Telluride is thanks to six “Good” ratings, the highest rating offered by the IIHS. This means drivers just have to like the look of the vehicle because there is no chance of the vehicle improving in the eyes of the IIHS. Overall, Kia has made quite a statement with the Telluride and their latest line-up. Earning the 2019 Top Safety Pick requires a good rating in driver-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests, plus an acceptable or good rating in the passenger-side small overlap front test. Not only is that required, but the vehicle has to earn an advanced or superior rating for front crash prevention and an acceptable or good headlight rating. Kia earned a good for every rating here as well as front crash prevention. The only blemish, if there is any, is the headlights were “Acceptable” in its rating; the second-highest measure. Yep, the all-new 2020 Telluride is going to be a sought-after vehicle.

"We are extremely proud of this significant achievement. We constantly strive to build the best quality and safest vehicles possible and being the automaker with the most TSP and TSP+ ratings is ultimately gratifying," said Orth Hedrick, Executive Director, Car Planning & Technology, Kia Motors America.
