Kia continues to set the standard for family-friendly vehicles, earning two prestigious accolades in the U.S. News & World Report 2025 'Best Cars for Families' awards. The 2025 Kia Telluride has once again proven its dominance, securing the 'Best 3-Row Midsize SUV for Families' title for the sixth consecutive year. Meanwhile, the 2025 Kia EV9 made a strong debut, winning 'Best Electric Vehicle for Families.'
Unmatched Excellence in Family-Friendly Vehicles
The Kia Telluride has been a favorite among families for years, offering an ideal mix of space, comfort, advanced technology, and top-tier safety. According to Alex Kwanten, managing editor of Autos for U.S. News & World Report, "The Telluride is a repeat winner thanks to its popular mixture of space, features, practicality, and excellent safety scores."
On the other hand, the EV9 stands out as the first affordable 3-row electric SUV, providing families with a sustainable yet highly capable option. Kwanten adds, "The EV9 offers a similar blend [to the Telluride], but with lower energy costs, quick charging, and a style of its own."
