The new K900 is such a gorgeous car. I just love the way the car looks.
Buy one then...
I'll leave my first thought of you out Maxwell but rest assured if I was able to afford a new K900 I would gladly own one.
I currently own a 2014 Cadenza SXL, hopefully in a few years I can trade in and get a K900 used, absolutely love it.
@@jaredshelton4718 did you ever do it?
Awesome job Mike , Kia is raising the bar for the K900 with new features a luxurious interior and a nice ride can’t wait for more videos
That interior 😍😍😍😍 !!! Great job overall Kia 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Not really sure why you chose to group this car with the mid sized competition. This K900 is exactly the same size as the BMW 7 series. It's a full sized car for half the price. They've been selling this car in Korea for a while now and it is REALLY nice!
John Holst Probably because of its price. But based on size, yes, I’d say it’s full-size.
I should have clarified this better. Kia claims the 5-series as the more direct competitor. This is mostly due to price, as ARich pointed out below. The K900 is certainly closer in size to the 7-series. I guess they are trying to point out that it has better bang for your buck? Regardless, the K900 is quite luxurious.
@@m1kerophone I'm sure you're right Michael. But it's not common to categorize cars this way. For example, no one would say an M3 is in the same category as a Cadillac CT6, just because they're the same price. It's for the shopper to determine the "bang for buck" factor.
Actually the K900 is smaller than a 7 Series or something like an S-Class. But it is also bigger than a 5 Series or an E-Class, so it's kind of hard to market since it's an in-betweener, I definitely would not have marketed it as Mid-Size. My 2014 Cadenza SXL is classified as a full size sedan, and it's smaller than the K900. Either way, I want it 😏
@@jaredshelton4718 Actually Jared, the 7 series comes in at 5098mm while the K9 is 5120mm. The K9 is a full sized luxury car, even if it's not priced like one. I want one too!
The K900 is a lot larger than the 5 series BMW and Audi A6, It comes close to the BMW 7 series and Audi A8 in size
Nice review for an awsome car
Heavy loaded of features and technology
Good job Kia
The K900 has always been underrated in the US.
Great video Mike, very informative. Keep up the good work.
Wtf Kia is starting to look like a luxury brand!
This is a really nice car , but unfortunately (Like all Korean cars) it will be overlooked because of the badge.
So true
Then they should change the badge and put the same one they use in Korea www.autoguide.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Kia_emblem-m.jpg
Not today
That depends where you live.
Hyundai/Kia are the 3rd largest car maker in the world.
@@GummyRiches Sure,the things is, especially in our Chinese market, when people buy a luxury car, they just look at the brand- like Mercedes Benz and Kia, nearly all people will choose to buy Mercedes Benz regardless of how Kia is doing.
I always loved it the k900 will miss the v8
kalmey schwartz ya they made it worse
קלמי היה לך כזאת ?
kalmey schwartz the V8 still available
@@the-expertstreetb-racer5832 I don't think so but if u want the V8 you could check out the G90 from Genesis I think think that thay still offer it
kalmey schwartz They still offering it. Search it and you will find it. KIA doesn’t exclude any of their production to any specific maket unless it faces regulations of a specific country.
liking this one maybe my next vehicle. i dont need fullsize suv anymore.
It's the perfect replacement for the German cars, plus it's reliable, has long warranty, and cheaper.♡♡♡
Thank you for the video.
Great Review 👍🏽 now I want to go drive one. I didn’t even know about the K900 ? I dive a 2015 Hellcat and I’m looking to buy a 2nd four door car. Thanks 👍🏽
Thanks for this video. I have never heard of that model. I really like the Stinger minus the fake ducts. Kia is on a good road.
I might have missed it, but did he mention the 10-year 100000 mile warranty? I believe this in comparison to the 3-year 36000 mile BMW warranty, is the biggest selling point.
I forgot to mention the warranty. But yes this one has Kia's 10-year 100,000 mile warranty!
Wonderful review! Thanks
Excellent review. I learned a lot. Thank you
Kia is constantly improving the quality in their cars !!!! Way to go KIA !!!! 💓
Okay the camera in the dash is so cool!
Unfortunately this car will go down as one of the most unknown underrated vehicles in history.
Nice!! Cant wait to test drive one!!!
I thought it completed with the 7 series not the 5
Agree. Cadenza compete with A6 and 5 series.
It does. Exactly the same size as the 7 Series.
it competes with the 7 series but for the price of a 5 series
Cadenza competes with the Toyota Avalon and Buick LaCrosse. No way it's in the same category as the Audi and BMW.
You're right. The Cadenza (K7) is not in any way a sport sedan. It's just a really nice, comfortable car.
Love it. I'll wait two years where the price will be low 30s.
Kia needs to do a better job with marketing the new K900. If they do, I think it’ll sell better
They could start by dropping the name KIA.
The understated EXTERIOR styling reminds me of the VW Phaeton, even though I, personally, love THAT styling way more than the K900. That interior looks VERY comfortable.
Great job!!!!
Given dimensions and ignoring pricing, the K900 is an S-Class/7 Series/A8 competitor.
I really liked the way this man reviewed.
KIA is so impressive! I dont get it!
They're doing much better than their parent brand Hyundai now! Lol
@@EseJandro both are working together on the new kia car not just Kia
People said the same of Toyota/Lexus in 1990.
Great review Mike, we only get Stinger in Australia not K900. It great package but where base spec for customer who are on budget?
i heard from IIHS that the K900 is the most expensive to repair in terms of low speed bumper collision as compare to its competitors
H'mmm I must go have a look and see if there's one at the local dealer near me. This one looks nice,..really nice!
Idky but Kia makes me think of the Cleveland Browns.
I’m rooting for both
Great job Mike! Let's get you on more solo reviews!
Fortunately, we now have better priced cars than overpriced Japanese cars... This would certainly be an excellent alternative from any overpriced Japanese cars for sure.
no one accepts the fact that KIA is awesome
I have a Kia spectra. Never let me down. It's like driving a go kart. It's really quick, light, and just a blast!
I've always been a fan of the K900. The only thing that stopped me from getting my hands on the 1st Generation k900 was the fact it is RWD and it would be a problem in the snow. This second Generation is just gorgeous...too bad is too pricey for me right now. This car needed AWD and now that it has it it's a lot of car for the money.
Getting much better Mike, good job. KIA begins with copy but now have their own design language. You can find your style too. I can sense you might have more knowledge on cars than anyone else on this channel, just need to find your way to deliver.
Shudup!
It's Alex from Alex on Autos!
Kia K900, truly such an underrated car for value, performance and quality.
A GREAT car!
I WILL be buying one! Live the rear seat wireless charging station. Excellent job Kia! So many wonderful features in this amazing car!
Great vehicle and is a sleeper. I wish I could get my hands on this K900.
My dream car right here.
Gorgeous car
More luxurious than the LS500 in my opinion, and cheaper too!
where do I go for my cookie if I have heard of it? :D
Chase Younggreen You’re just delusional. You’ve never heard of it. Okay?
White Mail Privilege sometimes I black out, my bad, you’re right. Okay?
Chase Younggreen Okay
I'd buy this over all the others you mentioned. The only competition for this car for my taste is the CT6 and G90. Does it run on regular gas or premium only??
I would honestly get k900 if i were a govt official or rented out limos. It's reliable and quite good looking
I dont own a kia! But that car looks and sounds pretty good! That car is what a buick should be.
Good review, bro. But definitely this car doesn’t compete with bmw 5. It has twice as much rear legroom for the passengers as bmw, and way more options in base trim. If you compare to 7 series, maybe it’s not on that level, but $60k against $100k is the difference. Plus better reliability than germans and way more warranty
Woooow very luxury
This car does look nice. Two things I'd say is that it should be offered in RWD like a proper luxury sedan. It would get better MPG. Also I think KIA should have launched this along with the Stinger in a new luxury brand name like Hyundai did with Genesis but even more distant since the K900 and Stinger are so far removed from the public perception of KIA.
I think this car competes with S class, 7 series and A8, Cadenza competes with likes you named.
Kia should implement an no-cost AWD option. It simply might increase the vehicle's weight by more than 50-100 kg and therefore its fuel consumption. Nevertheless, it's a wonderful luxury sedan worth a hard look and consideration for those wishing to purchsse a lux car without the lux premium price. Lovely sedan!
Your friend Alex looks like my Irani room mate from the side view.
Might have to get this over the genesis
this is what doug should’ve reviewed
I would take this over BMW 5 series
i like kia more than hyundai, with the stinger and this k900, awesome, i love the stinger tho
In Russia K900 is called Kia Quoris
What's up Alex?
I like it
I hope Kia doesn't launch a separate luxury brand. I just want to see Kia as the brand for all. Sort of like the Volkswagen and Subaru badge. There's an affordable Volkswagen and there's a very expensive Volkswagen.
But Volkswagen does have a separate luxury brand it has Audi. You're right about Subaru though, the closest thing to a luxury sedan they have is the Legacy. I personally have a 2006 Legacy and it's pretty nice for my first car.
They won't since stinger and k900 are sharing platform with Genesis and launching another luxury brand with essentially same products are just dumb
Well, that's a beauty of a luxury sedan... good job kia
I just think they need to kick that k900 name to the curve at least here in the American market. I can definitely live with the badge cause I have an Optima and if I had more money, id definitely buy this
I would name it something like fidelis or something like that
Mike, I've noticed you like wrist watches and have a collection. What do you have?
Thanks for noticing! I have two SKXs. One 007, one 009. I have a sekio baby tuna, a turtle, an orange monster, and a Citizen nighthawk. The nighthawk got me hooked and then the collection grew from there. Any watches yourself?
I have some of the same watches and a few more. I love watches :)
It's aways a pleasure to find people with the same interests. I quite love cars too. I'm actually jealous of your gti :)
@@djipka indeed it is fun! The GTI has been a blast so far. Couldn't be happier honestly! Watches and cars are two of my favorite things
Love the brown interior. Tan is gross but brown is great. Very nice Kia.
when will the 2019 sedona available in US?😙😙
Dealers are expected to receive wholesale delivery this month! 2019MY is a “product enhancement” year so the packaging is much improved for Sedona, especially the advanced driver assistance system tech and convenience features!
I predicted a v6 twin turbo from Kia 3 years ago. they are slowly becoming synonymous with realiable engines.
Yeah man this car is nice. In Korea I saw this everywhere. Now just to bring the Samsung car to the USA lol.
Fantastic k900
hey
ITS ALEX ON AUTOS :D
@5:10
It is a really cool Car.
The car is nicely designed (albeit a bit conservative around the grille area) and is the best bang-for-the-buck on the market. I think it's a mistake though, that KIA is not offering the V8 as an option. I hope they rethink this AND hopefully the come up with an updated (turbo?) V8 for the K900 AND the Telluride.
They have a v8 option
The upcoming K900 has only been shown with the twin-turbo V6 used on the Stinger. No V8 has been mentioned. This seems to be the same fate slated for the Telluride; nothing has been mentioned about a V8 being offered as an option, hence why I'm hoping they change their mind and offer it in the future for both, the K900 and the Telluride.
Why so late? Ive been reading on K900 for months...at least there's finally a price point. It'll probably go up though due to the tariffs.
That looks like the exact car Alex is revi -- oh.. never mind.
It's not an exclusive vehicle, it just doesn't sell well lmao 😂
This is such a great car, too many badge snobs.
The first generation was in s class and 7 series segment
They minimize the car ?
I’ll take LUXURY & VALUE over badge any day. 👍🏻 ✅
Is there any reason to take the G80 over this? Other than the available V8?
This one is bigger
Why i dont see this car in kia.com? I only see 2017 previous model
Unfortunately, they haven't updated it yet... but it will soon appear on the site
I drove a k900 when I was a valet. Some of the materials On the inside feel cheaper than a far lower priced Audi A4
Kia K900 is a mixture of Mercedes-Benz S-Class Exterior and BMW 7 Series Interior with a Audi A/T Shifter.
11. You can pick one up for $25000, 4 years from now.
2014 BMW 5 Series 528i xDrive Sedan 4D on kelly blue book $19.000 to $20.500 and to add insult to injury the 4 year old Kia will be more dependable and less expensive to maintain.

@@jimcbutts I never said that was a bad thing. Same case with Gensis products. Fantastic value if you can deal with the further depcreiation and the fact that it's not German or Japanese luxury.
5 series is no where comparable to the K900. 5 series is smaller segment car. K900 is up there with full size sedans
ChaoticCorruptor but my point is is that the German cars depreciate just about as fast as a Korean cars do now and if you have a German car that's high mileage it drops Like a Stone
ChaoticCorruptor in fact if your were concerned about depreciation the best choice would be to buy a Japanese car unfortunately there not as nice as the Germans or even the KIA probably
On KIAS upper class models they need to change the Badge, it does not look good or standout for that class, like Hyndai did with the Genesis class!
In 2021 this will be a steal
you weren't wrong.
Stinger in disguise!
I don’t care what name it is, what’s under the hood, interior, etc. it’s still a Kia. I bought my 2015 Kia Soul Exclaim in 2014 with 7 miles on the odometer. I bought the 10 year/100,000 mile extended warranty and thank God I did. At 84,000 miles I fully understood what Kia meant... Killed In Action. My engine went full grenade mode, broke a connecting rod (going 74 mph on highway), it went through the block and radiator. It took 4 months, 3 weeks and 4 days to get my car back. Kia’s customer service is lacking... I waited 3 months before I started complaining. They suck overall. Comes time to pick up my car and dealership tells me battery is dead and won’t hold a charge. I tell them the battery was replaced less than six months prior to engine failure. I tell them to put a new battery on as I can’t drive it without a battery, ask them to hold dead battery so I can get refund from O’Reillys. Those sons of bitches got rid of the battery AND charged me for the new one. Kia is so cheap they couldn’t just install one at no cost because of inconvenience. I’m trying to sell/trade the car as of this writing and have sworn off the Kia brand.
Derek Lea sorry you had to go thru that dude. But that would be more of a dealership not willing to work with you rather than the parent company. As for the customer service, that's company related and that's bad. But at such low mileage a car shouldn't just go out like that. That's ridiculous.
Just saw one 5min ago thats how i got here i was like thats a nice bmw until i got closer
Then there's the repair costs. A week or so ago it was reported that a minor "left front corner hit” could cost a whopping $34,000 to repair.
almeisam reported from where? This is a very vague comment
DDM7406 th-cam.com/video/JN_PilDgVCE/w-d-xo.html start at the 18:20 mark
@@DDM7406 just search for kia 900 repair costs 34000 Lots of hits. Here's an example: wbckfm.com/how-much-is-it-to-repair-a-newer-car-today/
yes I herd about the same report that came from a very reliable source.
Guys... LISTEN UP: There was a general article written about cars with all these sensors and how costs are sky rocketing and that, believe it or not, to align sensors on some vehicles you may have to have 300 sq foot of totally clear shop floor just to get sensors aligned.
It was a Jalopnik article and it's talking about all modern, heavily sensor infused vehicles. The actual title is: "This Kia cost $34,000 to repair AND IT'S NOT ALONE" (emphasis mine since people can be bothered to read).
jalopnik.com/this-kia-costs-34-000-to-repair-and-its-not-alone-1829136318
Quoted from the article:
"New cars come with all sorts of advanced technology designed to keep drivers safe, but all those safety-increasing gadgets come with a price-and it’s not just the initial cost of the technology that’s hitting car owners hard.
Take, for example, the Kia K900. "
How much is priced in dollars
Very nice car. I have a Forte and it has been great. I also owned a Kia Soul and it was a good car too.
WTF are you talking about - it's the competitor to the 7series, A8, S-Class, LS, XJ, Phideon
who is the Cadenza and Optima competing with then ?
Don't change the classes just because of the prices, it's not KIA's fault they make good affordable cars
Sometimes the badge don’t give the car what it is worth
The KIA name has no snob appeal, which will definitely hurt sales. Like the VW Phaeton, it's hard to justify a high price on a cheap brand name car.
yeah the iPhone using Brand royalty slaves kills the real value of the products.
That guy driving looks like the guy from Alex on Autos @7:29
It is!
You can say that your car is limited and your friends will say because no one wanted one.
there's a V8 option as well
They drop the available v8 and we're supposed to be impressed with less horsepower?
