Kia has confirmed to its dealers that it will be bringing a new full-sized rear-wheel-drive flagship sedan to the U.S. early next year. The new sedan will move Kia further into the luxury car segment when it arrives.
The sedan is reportedly going to be called the K900, which is the same sedan that is sold in South Korea as the K9 and the Quoris in other markets. The K900 will feature V6 and V8 engines with the V8 packing 420 horsepower. It will be packed with luxury and technology features like LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, a head-up display and a 17-speaker audio system.
According to Kia the K900 will be comparable to a 7 Series, but will have a price point closer to the cheaper BMW 5 Series. Kia expects to sell about 5,000 units per year in the U.S.
