Kia Telluride Crash Test Scores?

[Richb]

Does anyone know if the crash test scores are out yet? If not, anybody know when the scores will come out?

If you go to IIHS, and check test results for a Kia Sorento, you’re going to see top safety pick. If the Telluride is on the same platform, then it will probably also come out as a top safety pick. We will have to wait and see. Here’s a link to the Sorento test: 2019 Kia Sorento

Interesting....I didn't realize they were the same platform.

There are lots of variables besides the platform that influence crash safety. I wonder when Kia will have theirs scores posted on IIHS for the Telluride.

I’m sorry, not same platform as Sorento, but same platform as Hyundai Palisade. I’m confident that crash scores will be as good, if not better, than other KIA suv’s.

Thanks for the clarification. The scores will probably be good.....but I'm going to take a wait and see approach for the test scores before I make my purchase.

Consumer Reports list the vehicle as "In Test" so hopefully they will have some initial data soon.

I tried looking up crash scores for other Kia cars and realized that the popular Kia Stinger that came out in 2018 still hasn't been crash tested. I wonder if iihs or nhtsa will ever test the Telluride.
