2021 Kia Telluride Safety Ratings
Do you have your eye on the bold and adventurous 2021 Kia Telluride? Then, you may be wondering about its safety ratings. The team at Andy Mohr Kia is excited to inform you that this Kia SUV earned a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the NHTSA and has been named a 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK from the IIHS.
Drivers from Avon, Indianapolis, and Plainfield, IN, can learn what these ratings mean for the Telluride in this safety review.
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)
IIHS in an independent organization that has dedicated themselves to reducing deaths and injuries accrued through vehicle crashes. They have conducted thorough research on all vehicles and then scored them on a scale from Poor up to Good.
For 2021, the Kia Telluride received a top mark of Good in the following areas…
- Small overlap front: driver-side
- Small overlap front: passenger-side
- Moderate overlap front
- Side
- Roof strength
- Head restraints and seats
Crash Prevention
In addition to evaluating protection features in the event of a collision, IIHS scores cars from Basic up to Superior for passive safety systems. The Telluride is also at the top of the pack with Superior scores for its standard systems for front crash prevention for both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian.
These high marks in both active and passive safety systems have helped the Kia Telluride become a 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
Another way of measuring a vehicle’s safety is through the NHTSA. In 1970, the Highway Safety Act established the NHTSA to help reduce death and injury on the open road. They test similarly to the IIHS; however, they score their cars on a 5-star system.
The 2021 Kia Telluride received a top safety rating of five stars in the following areas:
- Combined Side Barrier and Pole for front and rear seats
- Side Barrier for driver and rear passenger
- Overall Side Pole
The result is a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the NHTSA.
Recommended Features
The NHTSA assigns star ratings to vehicles and also verifies passive safety systems, so you know which ones to arm your ride with.
For the Telluride, the following technologies are recommended…
- Forward Collision Warning: Measures the distance between your Kia and frontal obstacles, alerting you when you’re too close.
- Lane Departure Warning: Monitors the position of your ride within its lane and warns you if you begin to veer off track.
Fortunately, these systems come standard in the 2021 Telluride, so you’re sure to feel protected no matter which trim you select.
