Telluride & Stinger Named Segment Winners in J.D. Power 2020 APEAL Study
Two of Kia’s most talked about vehicles, the Telluride SUV and the Stinger Sport Sedan, have earned a J.D. Power Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) award for their respective segments.
The J.D. Power APEAL Study measures new-vehicle owners’ experiences with design, performance, safety, usability, comfort, perceived quality, and overall satisfaction with their vehicle in the first 90 days of ownership.
“At Kia, we take pride in delivering a world-class ownership experience, whether customers are interested in driving a bold, capable three-row SUV like the Telluride, or the head-turning, powerful Stinger,” said Sean Yoon, President & CEO, Kia Motors America, Kia Motors North America. “We are honored to win not just one, but two segments in the APEAL study, which further reinforces the brand’s ‘Give It Everything’ approach to each model we build.”
With minor enhancements and a special appearance package (Nightfall Edition) for the 2021 model year, the in-demand Telluride continues to impress with quality, design and value. The latest generation of the Telluride gains added towing capability, additional convenience with a remote engine start button, and available LED headlamps.
Now in its third year, the 2020 Stinger is still Kia’s highest-performance vehicle in a highly competitive segment. To further impress buyers and enthusiasts, Kia introduced the GT-Line on the 2.0L, featuring the eye-catching appeal of the 3.3L V6 GT with the drive and design of a genuine Grand Touring vehicle.
