Kia
Every Kia MotorGPA has graded — 12 models across 22 scored model years, each with a full report card.
How Kia grades
Across the 12 Kia models graded here — 7 SUVs, 3 sedans, one minivan and one hatchback — the median overall GPA is 2.40 (C+), level with the 2.44 median across every graded model. 4 of the 12 run a hybrid, plug-in or fully electric powertrain.
Subject by subject against the rest of the fleet, ownership cost is where Kia does best — a median of 2.95 against 0.85 elsewhere — and driving experience is where it gives most away, at 2.30 against 2.70.
The highest-graded is the 2026 Kia EV9 at 2.96; the lowest is the 2026 Kia Seltos at 1.52. Every grade is normalized inside its own segment, so these are cars measured against their direct rivals rather than against each other.
Median across graded Kia models, with the difference from the all-makes median. Efficiency is graded within powertrain class.
