Sophisticated and stately, the entirely redesigned K900 brings a new definition of premium luxury to the Kia portfolio. Although it’s slightly longer and wider than the outgoing model, this K900 actually looks tighter thanks to its reimagined proportions, especially with respect to its profile.

Elegant by design but with a minimalist layout, the interior of the new K900 provides drivers and passengers with a peaceful retreat that is simple, modern and comfortable. To compensate for both cold and warm climates, seats up front are both heated and ventilated.

As expected, the all-new K900 comes equipped with a wide array of advanced technology, connectivity and infotainment features. The centre console features a tactile port dial that is for driver operation of the 12.3-inch Human Machine Interface (HMI) touchscreen that displays maps, trip information, audio sources, climate controls and more. There’s also full connectivity via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and additional convenience from a wireless cell phone charger.

When piloting the K900, the driver will benefit from either a high-resolution seven-inch colour TFT instrument cluster or an available 12.3-inch colour TFT instrument cluster with graphics differentiated by the selected drive mode – Comfort, Eco, Sport or Custom. Beyond the gauges, there’s an available 9.7-inch Head Up Display (HUD), teeming with content related to speed, navigation, audio, and driver assistance systems that allows the driver to focus more of their attention on the road ahead.

As part of Kia’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), the K900 brings Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS), Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA) and Driver Attention Warning (DAW). Other significant ADAS systems are Rear Cross Traffic Avoidance Alert (RCAA), Safe Exit Assist, which can help notify the driver or passengers if it detects potential hazards, and Lane Follow Assist (LFA), which can provide a degree of automatic steering control in certain circumstances during Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC) operation.

The K900 has evolved into a truly sophisticated driving machine powered by a 3.3-liter twin turbo V6, the same engine found in the automaker’s highly acclaimed Stinger fastback sport sedan. This world-class engine outputs 365 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque and was recently named to Ward’s 10 Best Engines list for its exceptional responsiveness and refinement. The engine pairs with a second-generation in-house built 8-speed automatic transmission to manage its power in a smooth and seamless manner.

For an added dose of performance, improved handling, stability and agility, the K900 is equipped with a standard full-time Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control all-wheel-drive system that is rear biased and electronically controlled based on road conditions. Following the Stinger, the K900 becomes the second application of this in-house built system and elevates traction and handling to help the K900 compete against its premium European competitors.

The cumulative effect of these various efforts is a more confident and refined driving experience sought out by discerning buyers in the luxury sedan segment.
