Vehicle Overview
Kia took a big step toward offering premium vehicles last year with the introduction of the rear-wheel-drive K900 full-size luxury sedan. The K900 had many firsts for the Kia brand, including its first V-8 engine, first use of rear-wheel drive in a sedan, first head-up display, and first rear cross-traffic alert and precollision warning systems. Competitors include upscale sedans such as the Acura RLX, Infiniti Q70 and Lexus GS.
New for 2016
A 311-horsepower, 3.8-liter V-6 engine arrives as the new standard engine for Premium and Luxury models. A 420-hp, 5.0-liter V-8 remains available for the Luxury version. All models have an updated grille and new rear styling touches.
A power trunk lid that automatically opens when the key fob is nearby for more than three seconds is now standard. Automatic emergency braking is available.
