Opinions must change when it comes to some automotive brands. Think about the fact that nearly every foreign automaker from Asia started out in America with inexpensive brands that offered us a bargain feeling but great fuel efficiency and then developed into what they are now. Toyota has grown to have Lexus, Nissan now has Infiniti, Honda has Accord and even Hyundai will have the Genesis brand. Even though Kia is not ready to have its own luxury brand, it does have its own luxury car in the form of the K900 and its one awesome car that comes at a great price.

Unless you absolutely must have a luxury name you recognize this is a great car for you to drive. The K900 offers you the big powerful engine you want, a rear-wheel drive setup, a comfortable and quiet ride and the price that is perfect for you to enjoy. Fir this second year edition of the K900 you will enjoy the addition of more power. You will have a car that has navigation, a leather interior and a panoramic sunroof to go with the power and on this new engine you will have 18-inch wheels while the larger engine still gives you 19-inch shoes.

Because one of the greatest selling points of this car is the fact that it comes in at a price that easily undercuts many of the other luxury models on the market. The starting price comes in at a little over $50,000 for the V6 Premium model which is a great deal for a luxury car, but is the most expensive Kia on the market. Moving up to the V8 with it fully loaded you won’t find the Kia K900 breaking through the $70,000 mark, but at this price it feels as if you have gotten a lot more car for the money than you would ever expect.

For these prices we can take a look at what you will have to enjoy in your new K900. The base model receives the base engine which is a wonderful 3.8-liter V6 that offers 311 horsepower and 293 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine, and the larger one, is attached to an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. If there were a drawback to this car it would be the fact this car doesn’t come with AWD at all. This powertrain does give you a good fuel mileage at 18 city/27 hwy mpg for you to enjoy.

Moving up to the higher model you will have the power of the 5.0-liter V8 engine which brings you 420 horsepower and 376 lb.-ft. of torque. While using the same transmission you can select driving modes, which are offered on the base engine as well, to drive in either Normal, Sport, Eco and Snow modes and with this powertrain you can have the fuel mileage of 15 city/23 hwy mpg. The larger engine requires premium gasoline while the V6 is capable of running on the regular grade gasoline.

To go with these excellent engines you will get to enjoy some wonderful standard features in the K900. This includes a Lexicon audio system, a 9.2-inch command screen, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, leather upholstery, a power operated trunk, the UVO voice activated system for navigation and infotainment, blind spot monitoring, front and rear cameras, rear cross traffic alerts, lane departure warnings and three years or 37,500 miles of scheduled maintenance included in the price of the car. All of this gives you a car that you can be proud to drive even at the base model.
