Kia's Big, Bold and Boxy SUV Outperforms the Competition and Takes Top Honors
IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Its sophisticated style, refined handling and high value proposition are just some of the qualities that contributed to the 2020 Kia Telluride being named "SUV of the Year" by the Hispanic Motor Press Foundation. Kia's largest and most capable SUV was recognized for offering the space, comfort, technology, luxury and safety ideal for today's Latino family.
