Kia Impresses in J.D. Power Awards

After an impressive 8 J.D. Power Awards in 2021, Kia impresses again with another great year of models in 2022 and even more success in 2023. Winning 6 awards in total, with three being in performance ratings, Kia continues to innovate its models, pushing the limits in almost every vehicle class. Tied for second overall with BMW and only trailing the overall most awards from Chevy with 9 total, Kia walked away with 5 individual awards and one overall award as the highest-rated Brand overall in Dependability in 2022 (see graph below). As the 2023 J.D Power Rating rolls in, Kia is already off to a great start with its latest models.
