Kia 2024 J.D. Power Awards
When deciding on a vehicle that can house your entire family and will provide sufficient power to get you from point A to point B, you might feel like your options are limited. These worries can be put to rest by the University Kia Huntsville team by informing you of some models that have earned some impressive accolades that put them in a higher tier above the rest!
2024 Kia Telluride
There's no better time to get your hands on a Kia Telluride, because the 2024 iteration is leading the way in a number of facets. This three-row midsize SUV has earned the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. ALG Residual Value Award for its respective category, based on used-vehicle performance, brand outlook, and product competitiveness. As the third year in a row that the Telluride has earned this award, you'll certainly want to claim it before they disappear from our lot. With 291 horsepower and available AWD, driving around Decatur will be an exciting feat!
2024 Kia Carnival
If you prefer a minivan, the 2024 Kia Carnival will suit you well. While some drivers tend to notice a decline in reliability and an increased number of problems after three years of ownership, your scope of options might feel miniscule. That won't be the case with the Carnival, as it has received the 2024 Best Minivan award by the J.D. Power Dependability Study. Ranking higher than the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey, you can expect impressive features that contribute to an enjoyable drive to Point Mallard Golf Course.

“ I initially had a positive experience with University Kia when I brought in my 2018 Honda Odyssey for a check engine light diagnosis through my Assurant extended warranty. My service advisor, Anthony, was friendly and helpful during the intake process. The dealership even assisted us in obtaining a rental vehicle through Enterprise when we encountered issues, and I appreciated that effort. Unfortunately, my experience took a dramatic turn on the day I attempted to have my vehicle transferred to a Honda dealership after being informed that the repair was actually covered under Hondaās warranty rather than my extended warranty. Anthony informed me that Honda would need to handle the repair, which I completely understood and immediately began coordinating. The problem arose when University Kia refused to release my vehicle due to what they claimed was an unresolved Enterprise rental issue. After contacting Enterprise myself, I confirmed that the rental was being billed directly to my debit card, and I immediately relayed that information back to the dealership. I was repeatedly told it would take ājust five more minutesā to send me my invoice so the vehicle could be released. As time passed, the situation became increasingly frustrating. The Honda dealership was ready to pick up my vehicle and potentially complete the repair that same day, but University Kia continued to delay the release. Multiple follow-up calls resulted in either being hung up on or having my calls declined. The only way I was able to reach someone was by calling anonymously. What concerns me most is the lack of communication and professionalism. Despite providing proof that the rental vehicle was my responsibility and not University Kiaās financial obligation, I was still unable to get a clear explanation or timely resolution. I ultimately had to escalate the matter, request management involvement, and send a detailed complaint to the service manager. While the initial customer service was pleasant, the way this situation was handled on the day of vehicle release was extremely disappointing. Better communication, accountability, and customer service could have prevented hours of unnecessary stress and frustration. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this service department. ”
