KBB risks getting monotonous, handing yet another award to yet another Korean model from the Hyundai-Kia juggernaut. This three-row people-mover was last year’s Best New Model choice, and KBB saw no reason to pick another over it this year in its category. What it offers in terms of looks, comfort, refinement, utility and overall value is simply unbeatable, even as it’s relatively unchanged for 2021.

What KBB liked:

- Bold, unapologetic exterior shape and design
- Luxurious interior
- Comfortable seating
- Ergonomic layout for the controls
- Storage space galore
- Ample cargo room
- Ample power
- Ample safety equipment
- Price point
