Overview

The 2018 Kia K900 Sedan is a fullsize luxury sedan offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $49,900. For that price, it mainly competes with the Cadillac CT6 Sedan, the Lincoln Continental Sedan, and the Genesis G90 Sedan. Between 2 trims, the K900 offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.8L V6 capable of making 311 horsepower and 293 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 420 horsepower-making 5.0L V8 engine. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The K900 reaches 60 mph from zero in 6.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 5.3 seconds with the turbocharged V6. Depending on the powertrain, the K900 can manage a combined fuel economy between 18 and 20 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 3 striking colors the K900 comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The 2018 Kia K900 Sedan is a spacious and comfy Sedan. There are two trims available and we recommend going for the top-end Luxury trim with the V6 engine under the hood. It comes equipped with a better feature-set compared to the base trim with the addition of upgraded leather upholstery, wood accents, a heated, wood-trimmed steering wheel with transmission shift paddles, and a 17-speaker surround-sound system.
