<v Jennifer>Introducing the winner of the Cars.com Best Family Car Award, the 2022 Kia Telluride.
From cargo room and passenger comfort, to car seat fit and family friendly features, the Kia Telluride brings it all home and does it with an eye on value. <v Kelsey>The Telluride, a three-row SUV that's available with 7 or 8 seats, and front or all wheel drive, is a stable composed car over long road trips. Now, if that trip involves pulling some extra toys, the Telluride's 5,000 pound maximum towing capacity should come in handy. <v Jennifer>The Telluride shines in safety, with top ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and plenty of standard features, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane keep assist, lane-centering steering, blind spot detection with braking and steering intervention, and rear cross traffic alert and intervention. <v Kelsey>Parents will likely appreciate two other standard features, the rear occupant alert system, which uses sensors to warn of passengers left behind, and the safe exit assist system for the rear seats, which uses rear facing radar to detect oncoming traffic and prevent a rear door from opening if an approaching vehicle or bicyclist is detected. All of that, plus the Telluride is one of the most affordable options in a crowded field. <v Jennifer>The Telluride also did well in our car seat check, thanks to ample room and easy enough latch anchors in the second and third rows. The third row has adult friendly space, and a button activated slide feature makes getting in easy. Cars.com editors, many of us parents, expect a lot from a family car. It needs to please a lot of people, big and small, as well as carry a lot of stuff. And the Kia Telluride, Cars.com's Best Family Car for 2022, delivers.
