The rear wheel drive Kia K900 debuts in the 2015 model year as the automaker’s flagship sedan. K900 cuts a stark image with its 119.9-inch wheelbase and multi-spoke wheels. There’s ample legroom in front (45.9 inches) and rear (38.2 inches). And the truck is equally spacious at 15.9 cubic feet. During a one-week test drive, this steel unibody luxury car conveyed its sophistication with a smooth ride, smooth V8 engine acceleration, and smooth steering. The interior is classy, and the execution is pristine. The standard equipment list includes heated steering wheel, 12-way power-adjust driver’s seat, and a rear window power sunshade.
K900’s 5.0-liter V8 engine produces 420 horsepower at 6400 rpm and 376 pounds-feet of torque at 5000 rpm. Engine mates to an eight-speed automatic transmission. A 3-year, 37,500 mile complimentary maintenance program via participating Kia dealerships is a K900 highlight. The four-door is available in Premium and Luxury trims. K900 with the VIP Package (advanced smart cruise control, rear seat lumbar support, driver’s seat cushion extension, 12.3-inch full LCD TFT instrument cluster, heads up display, and more) has an MSRP of $65,500. The V8- powered sedan collects estimated mpg of 15 city and 23 highway.
