11/11/2023 0 Comments Kia models carsThe Carnival’s score is tied with the Honda Odyssey and is only bested by the Chrysler Pacifica which earned a 9.5. Last year Kia only had 5 models on this list, with the Carnival being the new add for 2022, scoring a 9.0 compared to a 6.5 for its 2021 equivalent, the discontinued Sedona minivan. All of the models received a score of 8.5 out of 10 or higher by the magazine (with the Telluride getting a perfect 10 out of 10). The 6 models Kia received awards for are: Telluride (also on their 2022 10 Best List), Sorento, Soul, Rio, K5, and Carnival. Of particular note, for those concerned, C&D’s efficiency testing includes higher speed, real world interstate testing that more honestly reflects the way many people drive (compared to how the EPA tests efficiency), so their figures may more accurately represent the results typical drivers will see. Car and Driver emphasizes vehicle performance as a central part of their testing, but completes a rigorous testing regimen that includes various safety, utility, and efficiency testing among others. BMW, Porsche, Ford and Hyundai, among others, earned more awards than Kia. The popular magazine considers the cars on its Editor’s Choice list to be the top-ranked models in their respective segments, and Kia has more models on it this year than a number of automakers, including but not limited to: Toyota, Nissan, Chevrolet, and Volkswagen (if you don’t count two trims of the same model, the Golf, a regular favorite at C&D).
