2015 Kia K 900
Plusses: The 2015 Kia K 900 has a soft (but not overly soft like a Cadillac from the 1970’s) ride, comfy for long, highway cruising; the 420 horsepower V8 accelerates with vigor, but you won’t mistake it for the optional 485 horsepower Hemi V8 in a Dodge Challenger. The eight-speed automatic transmission works smoothly with the 5.0 liter V8 engine, and the brakes work very well. The K 900 has a plethora safety features on board. There is lots of rear seat room, and the seat comfort for the driver and all passengers is impressive. Also, the interior materials are nice, ergonomics and gauges are good, and the exterior styling looks very good as well.

Minuses: Almost $70,000 for a Kia? That’s what a fully-loaded K 900 will cost you. Will its resale value hold up over time? Not likely. It would be nice if it had sportier handling, or at least a model with more spirited handling around corners and twisty roads. The K 900 has the potential to be much more.

Final Grade: The Kia K 900 earns an “A-“/”B+” grade–it’s that close. This is another solid effort from Kia, even though it may not sell in as large volumes as some its competition from Lexus, Mercedes Benz, etc. If you want to spend less money to get a competitive product, then take a closer look at the Kia K 900. If the K 900 proves itself in quality and reliability, then that will help establish a good reputation for it, something Kia can certainly build upon.
