After competing in The Northwest Automotive Press Association's (NWAPA) annual Mudfest event, the all-new 2027 Kia Telluride was awarded the Best Three-Row Family SUV in the market. 

NWAPA members evaluate each vehicle at Mudfest through a number of conditions, both on- and off-road. Day one testing includes on-pavement courses designed to test acceleration, handling, braking and road dynamics. Day two testing takes place on a custom-designed course focused on off-pavement performance, traction, ground clearance, suspension and more.
