2019 IIHS Safety Awards Places Kia Top Three!

IIHS Safety Awards Place 2019 Kia Top Three

Kia Motors of America is happy to announce that at the 2019 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awards, a total of eight Kia models were included! This makes it one of the top three brands on the market today to achieve this honor, especially after the IIHS increased the toughness of their requirements in the new year!

The all-new 2019 Kia Forte, which just went on sale this past summer, is one of the five models to earn the excellent Top Safety Pick Plus award. This is the IIHS’s highest designation possible, and the new Kia Forte is fitted with front crash prevention and new specific headlights, perfect for taking your drive to the next level without sacrificing safety!

As mentioned above, this is especially impressive because of new standards implemented by the IIHS in the current year. Vehicles now are required to achieve a “Good” rating just to receive a TSP+ rating, up from the previous year’s “Acceptable.” In order to qualify for awards from the IIHS, most vehicles require at least good in all categories, with an “Advanced” and “Superior” rating for front crash prevention. Kia models that feature the IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus include:

• 2019 Kia Forte
• 2019 Kia Niro
• 2019 Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid
• 2019 Kia Optima
• 2019 Kia Sorento
