• 2025 Telluride maintains TSP+ status for the third consecutive year, meeting IIHS’s increasingly stringent criteria
• 2025 EV9 earns an upgraded safety rating, achieving TSP+ designation

The 2025 Kia Telluride and 2025 EV9 have both been awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) designation. The Telluride secured the IIHS’s highest honor for the third consecutive year, even as the IIHS continues to raise the bar for safety requirements, while the all-electric EV9 earns an upgraded rating compared to last year.

“IIHS Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ awards reinforce our dedication to building vehicles that not only perform but also provide peace of mind,” said Steven Center, COO & EVP, Kia America. “As the IIHS’s safety expectations continue to rise, we remain committed to meeting these standards.”
