The second-generation 2019 Kia K900 made its global debut at the 2018 New York auto show, and it sports a less coupe-like exterior design and an interior that’s restrained yet tasteful.
Designed as a collaborative effort between Kia’s Korean and U.S. design studios, the 2019 K900 is longer than its predecessor and features unique design cues such as a tiger nose grille featuring 176 jewel-like cells that create a ripple effect. Its headlights and taillights sport a new duplex pattern to give it more presence and to show off its wide stance. Chrome trim around the exhaust tips, windows, grille, and above the side skirts complement the standard 19-inch alloy wheels, which are also finished in a bright chrome look.
Inside the 2019 K900 features a minimalist cabin with a large floating 12.3-inch touchscreen as its centerpiece. Leather upholstery comes standard and you can upgrade to higher quality Nappa leather. Available interior colors include black, beige, Espresso Brown, and two-tone Sienna Brown, and they’re complemented with one of four types of open pore matte wood trim. Heated and ventilated front seats come standard with the driver’s side featuring 20-way adjustability while the passenger has 12. You can also option for heated and ventilated rear seats with 12- and 14-way adjustability for the driver and passenger’s side respectively. Additionally, the 2019 K900 is also available with multi-zone climate controls that allow rear passengers to set their own temperature.
Kia’s UVO infotainment system comes standard with navigation and a new UVO Luxe app specific to the 2019 K900 that allows owners to remotely start, change the temperature, and locate their car from a mobile device. Instead of a traditional gauge cluster, the K900 comes with a customizable 12.3-inch instrument cluster display and can be paired with the optional 9.7-inch head-up display. A 17-speaker Harman Kardon/Lexicon audio system will also be available and it features selectable modes including Stereo, On Stage, and Audience. The 2019 K900 will also feature an ambient lighting system that has a choice of 64 colors with seven special ones made in collaboration with the Pantone Color Institute.
A full suite of active driver assistance features will be offered on the 2019 Kia K900 including lane keeping assist, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, and driver attention warning. Rear automatic emergency braking, lane follow assist, and safe exit assist are new additions to Kia’s advanced driver assistance suite. The car’s blind spot warning system has been enhanced with blind spot view monitor that shows you what’s in your left or right blind spot. A 360-degree camera system will also be available.
Powering the 2019 K900 is a 3.3-liter twin-turbo V-6 with 365 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque paired to a second-generation eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive with torque vectoring comes standard on the K900 and can send up to 50 percent of torque to the front wheels in Normal model. In Sport mode, the system is rear-biased and sends 80 percent of torque to the rear wheels. The 420-hp 5.0-liter V-8 and rear-wheel drive will no longer be offered on the K900.
Kia will build the 2019 K900 alongside the Stinger in its Sohari manufacturing facility in Korea. The car will go on sale in the U.S. in late 2018.
Kia is not only adding more content and quality to the K900, it's re-emphasizing the car's value proposition, as well. Pricing hasn't been confirmed just yet, but I don't expect it to differ too much from the outgoing model's $50,000 to $65,000 price range.
Meanwhile, the first-generation K900 has found a second life as one of the best values in the pre-owned luxury market. If Kia can keep its pricing in check, the new 2019 K900 could also tap into that market as a very compelling alternative to a pre-owned BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class. It'll also be taking shots across the bow of the Genesis G90, Lincoln Continental and Lexus LS provided that buyers can look past the badge and see the value.
