Kia’s 2023 Telluride Wins Top Honor as the Preferred Family Vehicle at the Midwest Automotive Media Association’s Spring Rally

Courtesy Kia is thrilled to announce that the 2023 Kia Telluride has been awarded the prestigious title of “Favorite Family Vehicle” at the Midwest Automotive Media Association’s (MAMA) annual Spring Rally. This highly anticipated event brought together over 100 automotive journalists who gathered at the scenic Elkhart Lake’s Road America in Wisconsin. During the Spring Rally, these industry experts had the opportunity to evaluate nearly 90 vehicles on various driving courses, ultimately casting their votes across seven different categories.

Steven Center, the COO & EVP of Kia America, expressed his excitement by stating, “Even though the Telluride has had an undeniable wow factor since its introduction, we’re still finding ways to improve one of our most popular models in Kia history.” He added, “We added the X-Pro trim for the 2023 model year to appeal to even more adventurous families, and we’re proud that this rugged variant captured the attention of MAMA’s discerning journalists.”

The 2023 Telluride retains its bold and sophisticated appearance while introducing fresh exterior styling enhancements for a more refined look. Inside the cabin, drivers and passengers will be greeted by the latest technology, including an available curved dual 12.3-inch display screen. But that’s not all—the introduction of the new X-Line trim takes Telluride’s aesthetics to a new level. This variant exudes a rugged and adventurous aura with bridge-type roof rails, X-Line badging, and increased ground clearance. For those seeking the pinnacle of off-road capability, the X-Pro trim goes even further. With exclusive 18-inch black wheels, all-terrain tires, X-Pro badging, and an increased towing capacity from 5,000 to 5,500 pounds, it sets a new standard in its segment.

Jim OBrill, MAMA Communications Director, expressed his appreciation for the Telluride, saying, “The Telluride has been a favorite among our members since it debuted with impressive styling, interior space, and technology.” He went on to highlight the significance of this year’s 2023 X-Pro model, stating, “Showcasing the 2023 X-Pro model on both the off-road course and street drives highlighted that Kia is focused on evolving the Telluride’s capabilities and maintaining its position in this segment amongst new and refreshed competitors.”

The 2023 Kia Telluride is genuinely the ultimate family vehicle, combining style, space, technology, and off-road prowess. It’s no wonder that automotive journalists from the Midwest unanimously voted in favor of this exceptional SUV.
