Kia Leads J.D. Power 2024 Automotive Performance
J.D. Power recently released the results of their 2024 U.S. APEAL study, and Kia is a powerhouse in multiple categories. Models like the K5, Carnival, and EV6 earned model-level awards - again - and cemented their place among J.D. Power legends. These awards are sometimes overlooked, but it's well worth the time to get acquainted with APEAL study awards.
The Kia Sportage is no stranger to winning awards, but it's always nice to grab another one. Hardworking Kia engineers just took home a "10 Best Interiors & UX" award.

The Sportage joins an elite group of models this year that proved themselves to customers and critics alike.

In addition, Sportage was praised for its combination of value and quality, outperforming all other brands in the compact SUV category.
