Steven Center, COO and EVP of Kia America, expressed pride in the model’s continued success, highlighting Kia’s commitment to evolution and improvement. “The Kia Telluride’s reputation as a highly sought-after and awarded SUV continues to grow.
We’ve reinvested in the Telluride throughout its lifecycle with meaningful enhancements, which contribute to its enduring value and this latest accolade,” Center noted.
The ALG Residual Value Awards, a key industry benchmark, honor vehicles projected to retain the highest percentage of their manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) over three years. This residual value is crucial in determining lease costs and reflects automakers’ success in quality, design, and brand desirability.
Danny Battaglia, managing director of ALG customer success at J.D. Power, praised the Telluride’s standout features. “The Kia Telluride brings a more refined, up-level interior and comes well-equipped as standard. Combined with its leadership in pricing, dealer profitability, and strong sales performance in both new and used markets, Kia has once again earned this well-deserved recognition.”
The Telluride’s consistent success highlights Kia’s ability to deliver quality, desirability, and lasting value in an increasingly competitive segment.
