Kia Telluride Claims Best 3-Row SUV for Families for 3rd Straight Year


The 2022 Kia Telluride was recently named the Best 3-Row SUV for Families by U.S. News & World Report, marking the third consecutive year that this vehicle earned the title. An SUV that is perfectly fit for the urban daily drive, it easily won the title with its array of advanced safety features, outstanding interior capacity, and world-class stunning design. 

U.S. News evaluated 96 vehicles based on automotive reviews, safety and reliability ratings, seating and cargo volume, and features that cater perfectly to family-friendly values. With 90 percent of Tellurides purchased by families, the well-equipped 3-row SUV continues to be popular with those looking for room for up to 8 passengers and a sophisticated ride. 

Offering top-tier safety features, comfortable seating, and a large cargo hold, its impressive powertrain warranty provides assurance for the long haul. The Telluride won other awards, including the 2021 Best Buy and Best 3-Row Midsize SUV from Kelley Blue Book. The seats are class-leading and comfortable, Driver Talk becomes standard this year, and Quiet Mode shuts off the rear speakers while still allowing everyone up front to listen to their music or podcasts at a low volume.

The LX and EX models come with 18-inch alloy wheels, the S and SX trims have 20-inch wheels optional on the EX. The Nightfall Edition exterior cosmetics package is offered with all-wheel-drive versions of the EX and SX – adding a black finish to the grille, wheels, light bezels, roof rails, and badges. The Blind Spot View Monitor employs side cameras and displays their images in the instrument cluster, giving the driver a much greater degree of outward vision. 

The Rear-Seat Alert feature notifies the driver if anyone is still situated in the rear at the end of a drive, and we guarantee that you’ll love the superior power of the 3.8-liter V6 which propels all 2022 Telluride models with an ideally-placed 291 horsepower. Each trim level boasts a 5,000-lb towing capacity, and one very satisfied reviewer from KBB.com proclaimed that “this car is so good looking and the ride is so smooth that it is the best model I have ever owned.”

2016 Sorentos at Jim Butler Kia Earn IIHS Top Safety Pick

Jim Butler Kia in Chesterfield Valley has the safe family SUV you’ve been searching for with the 2016 Kia Sorento which earned an IIHS Top Safety Pick. 

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) noted the ’16 Sorento’s great improvement in the small overlap crash test, even saying the crash test models “indicate[d] a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.” The small overlap test is a relatively new safety test brought about in 2012. This test replicates what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object such as a tree or pole.


When combined with the Sorento’s other good ratings in moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats crashworthiness tests, the ’16 Sorento becomes a 2015 Top Safety Pick by IIHS.

Jim Butler Kia in Chesterfield Valley has a wide selection of 2016 Sorentos to choose from including some with all-wheel drive. The 2016 Sorento is bred for adventure and has three engines (2.4-liter inline-4, turbocharged 2.0-L inline-4 and 3.3-L V6) across eight trims with a long list of features that make for an outstanding family vehicle or the “perfect getaway” vehicle for a camping weekend.
