“I love it and highly recommend it. The car feels regal and stately and is a smart value. I probably paid 75% of what other cars of same capabilities and comfort would cost me.”
2019 Kia K900: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2019 Kia K900 is an all-new, second-generation model. The full redesign brings a new body and structure, a standard twin-turbo V6 with AWD, and a more richly equipped cabin.
About the 2019 Kia K900
2nd generation, first U.S. model year of the redesign.
Kia positions the K900 as its flagship full-size luxury sedan: a quiet, comfortable highway car with strong standard power, standard AWD, upscale materials, and a long list of built-in technology. Its appeal is straightforward for used-car shoppers: it offers big-sedan comfort and near-loaded equipment without needing multiple trim walk-ups. Compared with traditional luxury rivals, Kia sells the K900 on value, comfort, and standard equipment rather than brand prestige.
Kia positions the 2019 K900 Luxury as a nearly loaded flagship sedan rather than an entry-level trim. It pairs quilted Nappa leather and heated and ventilated front seats with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a head-up display, and a 17-speaker Lexicon audio system.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The U.S. lineup moves to one standard powertrain: a 365-hp twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6, an 8-speed automatic, and AWD with a system that shifts power between the rear wheels to improve grip and handling.
Styling
The second-generation redesign brings a new body and a redesigned cabin with more upscale materials, including quilted Nappa leather.
Safety
The expanded standard driver-assistance suite adds smart cruise control with stop-and-go capability, lane-following assist, safe exit assist, a surround-view camera, and a camera view of the K900’s blind spots. Adaptive cruise control also moves from optional to standard.
Tech
A 12.3-inch touchscreen navigation system, head-up display, and 17-speaker Lexicon audio system are standard. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and front wireless phone charging are also included.
Structural
The redesigned K900 has a longer wheelbase, a stiffer body structure, revised front suspension geometry, and a standard electronically controlled suspension.
