2015-2016 New Cards List For You (Part 21)
Kia K900
Base Price $50,000-$60,400*
Body Type Sedan
All-new Thought the Kia Cadenza was ambitious? Wait
until you see the 2015-model-year K900. The lavish rear-drive flagship sedan
comes full of super-luxe amenities, putting more expensive full-size sedan
competitors from Lexus, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz on notice. Although the
K900 was initially launched with only a 5.0L V-8, a more affordable 3.8L V-6
model is arriving later this year.
Best Buy Go all-out with a K900 V-8 and the $6000 VIP
package.
