The 2019 Kia K900 Is the Unknown Luxury Sedan

[@DougDeMuro]

CORRECTION! The K900 is only offered this year with a turbocharged V6, with no V8 option. Big thanks to C&D and Motor Trend for getting this wrong. Last time I rely on them for info!

Honda has stopped making those because simple blind spot lights on the side mirror are easier to use. Camera gives lots of information, but when trying to change lane quickly, it does take more time to absorb all info camera gives which is longer than "is the blindspot light on?" (simple yes/no question)

[@DIY-Mechanic]

I own a 4.9 meter length car, and i don't have any blind spots on my sides.
the reason people have blind spots it's because they adjusting their mirrors to show their cars, that way they're wasting mirror-space that can be used to show the surrounding lanes.
It's also a big mistake to think that automakers are so high-tech today, but the engineering have such a primitive lack as "not showing all the view i need in the side mirrors".
The reason Kia added this camera feature it's because, time after time, automakers have to correct drivers with their stupidity, and help them make less and less thinking and acting. (That's funny when thinking about that, they added DRL lights instead of just making the headlight to work all the time).

I have owned one of these myself for a year and a half now. Same color. Luxury trim. If ANYONE has the chance to buy one, go for it! Especially a 2019 model with lower mileage. Around 25k right now. It’s worth every penny. If you are anything like me, who appreciates a car that must satisfy luxury+power+rarity/uniqueness, it’s hard to get any better than this. The first year I’ve had this car I lived in Washington DC and I cannot express the amount of attention and compliments it has received. Fast forward to now and I’ve since moved to Europe (I’m in the military) and shipped the car with me, I expected it to blend in better amongst the European car enthusiasts but it turns heads EVERYWHERE I go. Going out on an evening/dusk drive when those stacked LED daytime running lights are lit up is such an experience. It has such a presence. I still can’t believe Kia doesn’t get credit for this build let alone they still don’t make it in the US.

It's closer to a G90 than a Stinger, both from a platform perspective, it's platform is shared with the G80/90 and splits them in size, closer to the G90. The G70/Stinger sit on a pretty heavily modified version of that platform since they don't need room for a V8. The platform will also be the basis for their first round of SUV's as well, sitting above the Palisade/Telluride, not in size, but in being rear drive based, a longitudinal engine placement, a bit more lux, and with more power.

@@MiniVegas420Yo Thanks for the info, do you think it's a good platform? Looking at getting this, or a TLX Type-S, or a 4th gen Lexus IS (if it gets an engine upgrade).

The watch inside this KIA is produced by renowned Swiss manufacture Maurice Lacroix, and the Masterpiece is the name of their high-end collection. The idea here was to connect the luxury watches world with the luxury automotive world, not unlike the bond between Bentley and Breitling..

Actually the different paddle backs are damn smart. Because they are steering wheel mounted, they move, so even if you have it upside down you can feel which paddle is upshift and which down. More sportcars would need that. Actually brilliant.

why don't you go design a car that would score 10 out of 10 on all the categories.

[@jonathansefcik473]

It would be impossible with the current technology. For a car to get a perfect 100 Doug score, it would need to look amazing to Doug, have a 0-60 time under 3 seconds, handle like a Lamborghini Huracan, be insanely fun to drive, be the coolest thing on the road, have absolutely groundbreaking technology and features, Rolls Royce quality with Honda reliability, as practical as a minivan, and have unparalleled bang for your buck and resale value. No car in the next hundred years will even come close to that type of driving and ownership experience.

[@tenzinsmith7991]

Because many of the categories (especially when comparing the weekend to the daily ones) are inherently contradictory. By making the car look better or go faster, you limit its cargo space and fuel economy. By producing limited amounts (driving up the “cool factor”) and using high- end materials, you lose out in reliability and value. This goes on and on; you can’t have it all. And I’m actually glad you can’t, or else there would be literally one car on the road haha.

Kia is knocking it out of the ball park. The Kia Soul is the best bang for the buck car on the market. The amount of stuff packed into their fully loaded versions is just awesome. Great sound system, smooth ride, low cabin noise, great technology, etc. I'm glad people are finally recognizing Kia for what they are doing. Then add to that their reliability scores, the lack of car issues, their amazing car warranty, and you have something truly special. Kia is changing the car industry. Some manufacturers are getting out of certain car markets (like ford not making sedans anymore)and they have Kia to thank (blame) because of their success.
