Also known as the Quoris and K9, the K900 is the most expensive Kia on sale today. All new from the ground up for the 2019 model year, the second generation of the full-size luxury sedan starts at $59,900 in the United States of America.
“That’s not bad at all, even in comparison to the Genesis G90!” Right you are, dearest reader, more so when you consider the 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 from the Stinger GT comes standard with 365 horsepower, lots of torque, and all-wheel drive. Only one trim level is offered, and customers are offered a choice of four colors for the exterior (white, black, blue, and grey).
For the interior, Kia offers Sienna brown Nappa leather, beige Nappa leather, and black Nappa leather upholstery. For some reason or other, the K900 comes with Active Sound Design, which “digitally synthesizes engine sound to be amplified inside the cabin.” An eight-speed automatic transmission does the shifting, and Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control monitors the driver’s input and road conditions to maintain course by applying power and braking force to the appropriate wheel or wheels.
The one and only Luxury trim level also comes with 12.3 inches of touchscreen infotainment, Lexicon 900-watt premium sound system, head-up display, as well as UVO Luxe features such as Remote Climate Control. The power-reclining rear seats with heating and ventilation, however, are an optional extra included in the VIP Package ($4,000).
According to the U.S. configurator, the three remaining options for the K900 are the bumper applique ($120), paint protection package ($265), and wheel locks set ($55). In other words, the most expensive configuration of the full-size luxury sedan doesn’t go north of $65,000.
"The all-new 2019 K900 is much more than a generational redesign, as it takes on a whole new look, feel and character over its predecessor. Only its name - K900 - is carried over," said Orth Hedrick, vice president of Product Planning at Kia Motors America.
