Do you want your luxury automobile to be relaxing or stimulating? The correct answer for most buyers is both: although most luxury sedans are biased in one direction or the other.
The world-class interior of the 2019 Kia K900 features natural wood accents. Just like you wouldn’t want a life limited to “only coffee” or “only cocktails,” versatility in luxury sedans is a plus.
The new Kia K900 luxury sedan leans toward comfort, although its standard all-wheel-drive and twin-turbo-charged V-6 engine suggest it has some adrenaline in its bloodstream.
Kia is not the first name on most buyers’ lists when shopping for a luxury sedan, so it needs to stand out in some substantial way. The K900 is Kia’s flagship, and most of its virtues are inside where generous walnut trim and polished metal accents making driving the K900 like sitting behind an executive desk.
The driving experience is divinely quiet, with the kind of cabin isolation that used to only be associated with Lexus and Mercedes. Oddly though, the K900 feels most like the BMW 7-series, with buttery power encased in interior color tones you’d expect to see inside a box of Whitman’s chocolates.
