2025 Kia Telluride Takes the Top Spot for Initial Quality in Its Class

At Ferguson Kia, we’re proud to share that the 2025 Kia Telluride has been named the #1 Upper Midsize SUV in the prestigious J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Initial Quality Study (IQS). This award highlights the Telluride’s exceptional build quality and customer satisfaction right from the start of ownership.

Assembled with care in West Point, Georgia, the 2025 Telluride is known for combining rugged capability with luxurious comfort. Whether it’s the bold design, advanced safety features, or spacious three-row interior, this SUV continues to impress both drivers and industry experts alike. According to the IQS, Telluride owners reported the fewest quality concerns within the first 90 days — a strong testament to Kia’s attention to detail.

It’s no surprise that the Telluride’s reputation is reflected in its performance at our dealership. Nationally, Telluride sales are up nearly 17%, and overall Kia sales have climbed more than 10% year-over-year. Here at Ferguson Kia, we’ve seen this trend firsthand, with more Tulsa-area families choosing the Telluride for its balance of innovation and dependability.

Steven Center, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of Kia America, put it best:

“Our world-class vehicles deliver the quality, reliability and technology that consumers are looking for. This J.D. Power IQS award demonstrates Kia’s dedication to engineering high-quality vehicles designed to fulfill the needs of the entire family.” [1]

The 2025 J.D. Power IQS surveyed over 92,000 new vehicle owners, covering 182 models across 25 different categories. Areas like driving experience, engine performance, transmission responsiveness, and reported quality issues were all considered. The Telluride rose to the top — once again proving it’s a standout in its segment.
