New Kia K900
Kia has been promoting its new flagship for luxury lovers. The new K900 is a turning point between the simple and the complex, ideal for lovers of good living. Probably few cabins are as customizable as this vehicle.
Until a few months ago, the technical equipment of the Kia k900 was a secret guarded with suspicion by its own manufacturer. The idea was to take the creators of its direct competitors by surprise: the Audi A8, the Lexus SL and also the BMW 7 Series. At present it has been possible to learn more about this high-end car.
Exterior design
The exclusivity of the Kia k900 can be seen in a detail as simple as its grille. This front covering has 176 cells, which heralds the detail with which this spectacular car has been built.
As a luxury saloon, its front end is complemented by very glimpse duplex LED headlights. But beyond these flashes of elegance, this vehicle is quite minimalist.
Interior design
Not much is known about the interior of the luxurious Kia k900. However, the manufacturer has shown some images that give us an idea of the interior design of this car.
Covered in leather, wood and metal inserts, it is clear that this is a ‘premium’ car. Its exclusivity is revealed by the Maurice Lacroix analog clock on the center console.
Its touch screen for infotainment measures 12.3 inches and in it you can manipulate all the lighting options that this car has.
There are 64 shades of light along with seven themes, which will allow us to create the internal environment we want. With regard to safety, this luxurious car has Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
The Kia K900 also incorporates proximity sensors that illuminate the driver’s controls and other parts of the cabin. Everything seems to be ready to make a difference during our journey on the road. Personalization and personality are two attributes that can be enjoyed in the comfort of your cabin.
Engines and behavior
The Kia k900 also offers us good options in terms of engine. So far the possibility that there are two engines that will run on gasoline is known.
The first engine to consider would be the 365 hp 3.3-liter V6, which would have already been placed in its predecessor model. The second is the powerful 420-horsepower 5.0-liter V8.
Other alternatives to engines could be announced in the future, but there is still little information in this regard. The V6 engine is the same as that used in the same company’s Stinger Fastback sports car. It should be noted that this engine was on Ward’s 10 Best Engines list.
A key aspect of the dynamic behavior of this model was the decision to lengthen the wheelbase. In fact, this car is slightly larger than its predecessor and these new measures contributed to the improvement of balance while driving. The steering is power-assisted and electromechanical, with eight speeds.
Basically we have a large car that responds very well to the driver’s command and moves easily and lightly. If we had to define this product encompassing all its components, the appropriate word would be ‘luxury’.
Price
The official value of the Kia k900 is not yet known. It is known that its predecessor model had a cost as new that amounted to $ 49,000 .
This car is expected to slightly exceed this limit due to the extensive improvements and details implemented. The truth is that the manufacturer does not plan to place this luxury product in Europe. The Spanish would not see it in the dealerships.
Kia maintains a line of low-cost cars as its priority axis in Europe. The company itself does not see it profitable to locate this type of product in the European market, leaving it reserved only for the Asian and Anglo-Saxon markets. Its high cost and the lack of a diesel engine would prevent its arrival on Spanish soil.
However, things often change in the automotive market. Beyond this, those who want this luxury will import this car that is synonymous with personal success. Luxury cabin, detailed front and smooth shifting are the hallmarks of the Korean brand’s most opulent line.
