Edmunds 2019 K900 First Drive:

There are some nice things on the new model, for sure. That 64 color mood lighting must be pretty cool, and the white interior looks even plusher than the current one.

However, I'm a little disappointed that it's really a facelifted Stinger. Look at the dash and console and you can really see the resemblance. With exactly the same engine, I'm not sure there's enough to justify the difference.

I guess we'll see in a few months when it comes to the US.

I was surprised that the Edmunds reviewer commented that the new K900 was not as quiet as the old model. That said, they were reviewing the Korean spec K900, so there are sure to be differences with the North American version.

Korean version of the 2019 Kia K900 we left impressed on several levels. In terms of price, this is comparable to luxury mid-sized sedans, such as the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. For this money, however, you get a larger sedan, similar to the 7-Series and S-Class. K900 gets even more advantage for its content. Similarly equipped 7-series or S-class will cost twice as expensive, and 10-year warranty Kia - the best in the industry. Even against sedans from Lincoln and Genesis, the K900 maintains a strong price advantage.
this K900 is much more likely to improve the reputation of Kia than its predecessor.
