2019 Kia K900 Shown in Full Ahead of NYC Debut

[Kiaclub Nieuwsrobot]

The 2019 Kia K900 has been shown in full ahead of its debut at the 2018 New York International Auto Show later this month.

The 2019 K900 is the new flagship luxury sedan for the Kia brand and is set to go on sale globally this year. It was styled by designers at Kia’s two global design studios in Namyang, Korea and Irvine, California and follows a minimalist ethos both inside and out. The exterior features simple, smoothed over styling and an abundance of chrome trim. The cabin is similarly minimalist and features a wrap-around dash that is intended to “cocoon” the driver and front seat passenger, Kia says.

Some light details on the new K900 have also been shared by Kia. It will be 2.3 inches longer than the outgoing model, making for additional cabin and cargo space. There will also be a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster display, along with an analog clock mounted in the dashboard that is manufactured by Swiss luxury watch brand Maurice Lacroix.

A brochure intended for the South Korean market may have also let some details on the K900’s powertrain leak out before its NYC reveal. In its home market, the K900, which is called the K9 in South Korea, will be offered with Kia’s 3.8-liter GDi V6 engine, a twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6, or a 5.0-liter V8.  It will also be offered with all-wheel drive, but the brochure indicated it may only be available on the V6 versions of the sedan.

We’ll have full details on the 2019 Kia K900 when it debuts on March 28th.

Stay tuned.
