2016 Kia K900 Gets Minor Updates

Kia’s K900 flagship sedan only arrived in local showrooms a year ago but has already seen a price reduction and now a round of updates, too. It’s no surprise considering year-to-date sales for the K900 total just 2,134 cars, but with the changes Kia has implemented it means the K900—already a great value—is now an even better buy.

For the 2016 model year, the K900 features an all-new V-6 engine. Unfortunately, the engine’s specs are the same as those of the unit it replaces. The new engine is a 3.8-liter V-6 that delivers 311 horsepower. Those seeking more power can opt for the 5.0-liter V-8 whose 420-hp output remains unchanged. The standard transmission is an eight-speed automatic with available paddle shifters, and drive is to the rear wheels only as there’s still no option for all-wheel drive.

There have also been some minor visual tweaks. There are new wheel designs (18-inch for V-6 models and 19-in for the V-8) as well as a revised front grille plus a revised rear-end design with tweaks made to the chrome trim, exhaust pipes, tail lights and bumper.

The 2016 K900 comes in three trim levels: V6 Premium, V6 Luxury and V8 Luxury. Even the base model is well-equipped, coming standard with items such as navigation, leather trim and a panoramic sunroof. The navigation system is a new design that benefits from a 9.2-inch touchscreen display. This display is also used for Kia’s UVO infotainment system which in its latest form allows you to remotely access the car via a smartphone app.
