Kia Motors operates independently from Hyundai Motor Group. Hyundai is Kia’s parent company, however. Hyundai and Kia differ in that they both have their brand philosophies that set their models apart from each other. In the United States and Canada, the Kia K9 is sold as the Kia K900, while other markets sell the Kia Quoris, which is Kia’s full-size luxury sedan, now in its second generation. Canada discontinued the K900 in 2018 and the United States in January 2021.
Overview
The 3.3-liter twin-turbo V-6 powering the K900 is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. That engine also powers Genesis vehicles and the Kia Stinger. As a result, the venerable sedan chugs from 0 to 60 in 5.2 seconds with 365 horsepower and 376 pounds-feet of torque.
Reliability
Based on a fleet analysis, the 2019 Kia K900 has a predicted reliability rating of 3.5 out of five, which is about average for the class and above average compared to the market as a whole.
Safety
Automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and lane change assist are among the active safety features. Kia scores the most Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick Plus ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in 2020, with 11 vehicles cutting total, more than any other automobile brand in the United States. But K900 is not tested for safety yet.
Resale Value
With a predicted depreciation rate of 67%, the value of a 2020 Kia K900 is projected to decrease by approximately $41,133 from its original price of around $59,900 to $19,767 in just 5 years.
Maintenance and Repair
In comparison to the industry average, that is pretty low. However, it is likely to spend $697 on annual repairs for the Kia K900. Both cars start rusting around the same time, between 2 and 5 years after production.
