Kia K900 is inching closer to its
official unveiling after a brochure made its way online, depicting not just its
looks, but also specs, engine range and pricing for the South Korean market.
The visuals pretty much confirm what we already knew from previous spy images
and various sketches. Compared to its predecessor, the all-new K900 will boast
a more elegant exterior, with a lot of chrome inserts, front, rear and profile.
Meanwhile, headlight and taillight graphics are very
similar, the wheels feature a 10 twin-spoke design and the profile gains a
design element similar in shape to a paddle, albeit more of a hockey stick.
Korean customers will be able to order their K900
(K9 over there) with a choice of 7 exterior colors, ranging from white, silver,
black, blue, brown and two shades of grey. Whether the same color palette
reaches U.S. customers, remains to be seen.
The interior design is just like it was in the
sketches, with a quad-spoke multi-function steering wheel, a massive 12.3-inch
touchscreen infotainment display, and an
overall minimalist interior layout, which you can get in multiple color
combinations.
Three power units will be made available to the
all-new K900, including a twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6 T-GDI engine, joined by a
3.8-liter GDi and the larger 5.0-liter V8. While the 2019 K900 will indeed come
with an all-wheel drive system, it seems like you can only get it on one of the
V6 variants.
As for pricing, Korean customers will be able to buy
the entry-level 3.8 GDi model from 54,900,000 Won (US$ 51,057), whereas the
flagship 5.0-liter V8 will set them back as much as 93,800,000 Won (US$ 87,234).
The 2019 Kia K900 is still on track for its debut at this year’s NY Auto Show,
next week, with sales scheduled to commence anywhere between April and June
(Q2) in select markets.
