Kia America earned three honors in the 2022 Newsweek Autos Awards, recognizing the 2022 Carnival as the Best Minivan, 2022 K5 as the Best Family Car and the 2022 Sportage as one of five vehicles selected as an Editor’s Pick, based on features, specifications, and driving impressions.

Kia America has earned three J.D.

The electric crossover took the top spot in the Compact SUV segment, while the Carnival MPV and K5 each won their respective segments. The announcement follows the Forte being crowned number one in the compact car segment in the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study.
