K900 only available in select markets. A scary event. At 20,488 miles, we took it to the dealer for a check-engine light and a bent wiper arm (likely the result of a bad car-wash experience), with the first issue being handled under warranty and the arm costing us $45.94. I personally don’t think this makes for a good buying experience. Mostly, the K900 confused our staff members. Overall, the car looks premium enough to confuse non-enthusiasts who aren't familiar with the latest full-size luxury cars. The transmission was nearly as zen, save for the occasional flubbed shift and its frustrating-to-use electronic joystick shifter, which made selecting the desired gear a more thoughtful process than necessary. Flagship sedans are statements, and the spotlight shines first on the exterior. The K900 offers neither of those things. It could happen. Not the vehicle I wanted we found another one and purchased it from carmax, Description:  Used 2016 Kia K900 Luxury V8 for sale - $25,961 - 19,885 miles with Leather Seats, Sunroof/Moonroof, Navigation System, Alloy Wheels, Bluetooth, Backup Camera, Remote Start, Heated Seats, Color:  Aurora Black Pearl, Quality dealership and outstanding service, Great staff, friendly service and staff is respectful to its customers, Description:  Used 2015 Kia K900 Premium for sale - $19,999 - 30,993 miles with LE Package, Leather Seats, Sunroof/Moonroof, Navigation System, Alloy Wheels, Bluetooth, Backup Camera, Blind Spot Monitoring, Parking Sensors, Heated Seats. At approximately 11,400 miles, the adaptive cruise control falsely identified a vehicle ahead and threw the K900 into a full panic stop on I-90 in southeastern Montana. What better way to assess the company’s initial crack at a $50,000-plus luxury ride than to have our enthusiast staff evaluate a car tuned so unapologetically for comfort? In any event, Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists straightened the bent wheel ($135) and Discount Tire balanced and affixed it ($36). It provides driving dynamics that are smooth and composed, and its cabin is an oasis of comfort. If there’s one word to define the K900, it’s “fluid.” This car is honest about being a soft luxo-cruiser and nothing else, as if Kia were saying, “We can do luxury, too.” And now it’s true. 10 years/100,000 miles powertrain; True to Murphy's Law, it never reappeared when I was at the dealer. Very nice and helpful. For a Kia?! Considering that the K900—equipped like ours with the VIP package and including tri-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, power-reclining rear seats, power front headrests, adaptive cruise control, a 17-speaker 900-watt Lexicon audio system, full-LED exterior lighting, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a shift-by-wire transmission, and a panoramic sunroof—had nothing but a headlight and a wheel bearing fail seems not too bad. But good experience nonetheless. The 2020 Kia K900 comes equipped with a 3.3-liter V-6 that makes 365 hp @ 6000 rpm and 376 lbs.-ft. @ 1300 rpm of torque. 5 years/100,000 miles corrosion protection; And apart from the faux-suede headliner, which is a soothing thing to touch, the rest of the cockpit is strangely old-fashioned. As with the ill-fated Volkswagen Phaeton, is the $60,000 K900 a bridge too far, or has Kia wisely staked a claim to a slice of the luxury market abandoned by other companies? After one of the headlights was replaced because it began to point down toward the ground, I didn't experience the issue again. The K900 is handsome, and many details like the LED elements residing in the headlight buckets are interesting.

The Great Bumper-Scrape Saga, Part I, set us back $622.04 for a repainted bumper; scrape Part II, six months later, on the other side of the bumper, drained another $622.04 from our coffers. We spent more money repairing self-inflicted damage. It does carry a substantial presence, partially because of its size and partially because it retains a sense of tradition (lengthy proportions, graceful stance over the sizable and eye-catching wheels) intrinsic to big luxury sedans. © 2020 CarGurus, Inc., All Rights Reserved. People just don't expect a car like this to be made by Kia, which is why the car is such a great conversation-starter. The 2015 K900 could be the car that changes Kia forever. hoped. Editor-at-large John Phillips sums it up perfectly: “A $66,000 Kia is as peculiar as a $78,000 Volkswagen Phaeton.” And we all know how the Phaeton experiment worked out—at least in this country. Kia K900 vehicle owners enjoy all the UVO essentials and the added convenience of Remote Engine Start/Stop and Remote Climate Control– all it takes is a tap on your app. Having set the table with the near-luxury Cadenza, not to mention its always-improving mainstream lineup, Kia dialed up the luxury for its K900 flagship. Its tuning is a head-scratcher, given how most every other modern Kia has a sporty bent relative to the equivalent Hyundai (Hyundai is Kia’s parent company). While the car was at the dealer, a technician noticed the right-front wheel bearing was making noise, so a new hub assembly was installed under warranty. not get the trunk to open, and he just said oh ok, but never offered to show me how to open it. Very transparent with all imperfections vehicle may have. We’re not sure its Korean creators intended such artistic defilement. It’s a good thing the K900’s bumper-to-bumper warranty stretches five years or 60,000 miles, because the headlight replacement would have cost us a total of $3118.50. We hope to have an even better idea by the time we issue our first update. The K900 is closer in size to a BMW 7-series than it is to a 5-series, and at $66,400 for the V-8 model, it’s priced in the vicinity of a 550i. The V-8 is one of the main differentiators between the K900 and the K9/Quoris -- the overseas model presses a port-injected 3.8-liter V-6 into service, an engine not offered in the U.S. since 2012. It is hard to describe the typical civilian reaction to the fiscal news, except to say it follows the basic pattern of, “Sixty grand? We may earn a commission for purchases made through our links. Such testing reveals a car’s dynamic strengths as well as its weaknesses, serving to quantify and clarify the subjective analysis we glean from driving on public roads. It’s long, low, sleek looking and roomy, and is available in three different trims. Zero to 130 mph: 24.2 sec Great. That's more than what Lexus or Mercedes-Benz offer, but K900 owners might consider asking the dealership if a Cadenza or K900 loaner car will be available before making a service appointment. (Cost for a replacement wheel is just under $900.) The velvet fog of revs continues right up to the 6700-rpm redline, with the eight-speed automatic shuffling through gears like the world’s slickest croupier. This is Kia’s next step up the prestige ladder, but it’s not a leap to the top. It's built for those who want a feature-overloaded luxury car and truly don't care about the status that comes with a first- or even second-tier luxury brand. We spent $1402 in service for our 2012 Audi A8L and another $2260 on normal wear items; service for our 2011 BMW 535i was free, but we tallied $2027 on wear items; and service was also free for our recently departed Cadillac CTS Vsport, although we spent $1455 on wear items. The K900 is closer in size to a BMW 7-series than it is to a 5-series, and at $66,400 for the V-8 model, it’s priced in the vicinity of a 550i. After one year behind the wheel of our long-term $66,400 2015 Kia K900 V-8, I still find the car amazing in many ways, but I can also understand why it sells in such low numbers. The decently quick 420-hp Kia is outpaced by most sedans in its segment, many of which also boast better fuel economy and a longer driving range. Local duty is hampered by the floaty, imprecise handling that doesn’t lend itself particularly well to the cut-and-thrust of rush-hour commutes. Our car experts choose every product we feature. I need to do.. The other issues concerned the LED headlights, which would on very rare occasions turn themselves off when it was clearly dark, and then after a few seconds turn themselves back on.
