2015 Kia K900 V-8 Review - Sister
to Hyundai's Equus, the K900 is an extravagance car that denote Kia's goal to
move the brand up business. It's a bulky four-entryway loaded down with
calfskin, wood trim, and electronic entertainments all standard. The base motor
is a 311-hp V-6, while a 420-hp V-8 is discretionary. The controlling is numb
and the suspension is delicate. Kia needs purchasers to think the K900 is a
quality contrasted and its more costly rivals, however we'd rather spend less
for an auto that is more about driving than devices.
Dissimilar
to some extravagance autos that renounce cosseting ride quality for lively
demands, the 2015 Kia K900 stays valid to the exemplary area yacht equation.
The most recent venture in Kia's quick development regardless of the fact that
its conflicting with the organization's young, rockin-hamster disposition the
K900 leader takes the brand to new statures of Lexus-like calm and detachment.
The huge K is focused around an extended form by 4.3 inches in both wheelbase and length of guardian Hyundai's cordial Genesis vehicle (Hyundai recently presented another 2015 Genesis with a Lotus-tuned skeleton and accessible all-wheel drive). In that capacity, its Kia's first back wheel-drive extravagance vehicle and second model with accessible V-8 force after the ancient Borrego SUV. The K900 is dispatching in the U.s. with a standard 5.0-liter Tau V-8 pumping out 420 drive and 376 lb-ft of torque, making it the most-capable Kia ever. The V-8 is mated to Hyundai's own eight-rate programmed, which meets expectations easily by and large yet has a tendency to upshift early, even in its sportiest setting. It likewise incorporates an offbeat electronic joystick shifter that any advanced BMW driver would tragically perceive.
In spite of its being the speediest Kia we have ever tried sprinting to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds and covering the quarter mile in 14.1 at 101 mph the K900 never feels especially physical or captivating. The powertrain murmurs easily underhood and seldom points out itself, the ensuing peacefulness being perfect for cruising. A catch on the reassure permits the driver to flip among Sport, Normal, and Eco driving modes, which somewhat modify throttle reaction, movement activity, damper settings, and directing exertion, yet its best to abandon it in the default setup.

Whatever
is left of the Kia K900 execution figures an unassuming 0.80 g of sidelong grasp
and a 176-foot prevent from 70 mph on 19-crawl, all-season Hankook Optimo
elastic are simply sufficient and strengthen the auto's lack of concern to
driver association. The 4664-pound K900 buoys not far off with detectable some
may say nautical pitch, move, and jump movements. The controlling needs
centering toward oneself, requiring continuous amendments on the roadway.
Almost no goes up the directing section, put something aside for some
intermittent shakes and quivers over harsh asphalt. Our watched mileage of 18
mpg is in accordance with the consolidated EPA rating on the window sticker.
Yet the greater part of this works in the event that you can acknowledge the 2015 K900 as a cutting edge incarnation of the Lincoln Town Car, a tangible hardship stockroom on wheels that urges you to just unwind and appreciate the ride. The K900 is quieter out of gear and full throttle than the most recent Mercedes-Benz S550. The Kia's styling is attractive yet not exaggerated, there's huge amounts of space for stuff, the seats are La-Z-Boy comfortable, and the inner part is tastefully styled and simple to explore with plenteous hard catches. The rundown of standard supplies at the K900's $60,400 beginning stage is strangely long (you can read the full breakdown here), with our test auto's most remarkable gimmicks included in the $6000 VIP bundle's versatile journey control, force shutting entryways, 12.3-inch TFT computerized instrument group, head-up showcase, blast of outer surface cams, and force leaning back and ventilated back seats.

In
any case the supple, oversized gorilla in the showroom is the marketability of
a $60,000 Kia with the element keenness of a watercraft. Extravagance autos
will never be antiquated, however just time will tell if the K900 has the
backbone of the huge Lincoln or a Lexus LS. On the other hand will it be Kia's
Volkswagen Phaeton, an at last overextending endeavor by a nonluxury brand? At
any rate, the K900 is fair about being an extravagance auto, and that means
something. -
