Vehicle overview
Exclusivity is historically a big part of the full-size luxury sedan ownership experience. The steep prices for elite European luxury sedans exclude a wide swath of shoppers and ensure that these cars remain an indulgence for a select few. With the introduction of the comparatively affordable 2015 Kia K900, though, exclusivity is put to the test.
The K900 certainly has the means to join the executive sedan ranks. It's Kia's largest sedan to date, and it's about the same size nose to tail as those established large luxury sedans. The interior and trunk are correspondingly palatial. For power, there's a 420-horsepower V8 as standard equipment initially, while a more fuel-efficient V6 will become available later on. Features? Oh, so glad you asked. The K900 comes with so much kit that it could have its own booth at the Consumer Electronics Show.
Value, however, is where Kia steps on the gas and puts everybody else in the rearview mirror. Even fully loaded, the K900 typically undercuts those Euro sedans' base prices by tens of thousands of dollars. Those savings, along with Kia's generous warranty coverage and three years of free scheduled maintenance, make the K900 a model of fiscal responsibility. As Kia accurately says in its tagline for this car: "Challenge the luxury you know."
When you take a deeper look, though, you'll likely notice some minor sacrifices made in the name of affordability. The Kia K900 lacks a perfectly resolved feel on the inside, though, to be fair, these demerits are generally limited to nitpicky details. The switchgear is of merely average quality, and the infotainment interface is a little unintuitive and complicated to use compared to the slicker interfaces in more expensive sedans. Further, the K900's ride quality, while generally agreeable, falls just short of the standards set by other premium sedans.
However, the Kia K900 is simply too good of a bargain to ignore, and it's certainly worth considering alongside established large luxury sedans like the 2015 Audi A8, 2015 BMW 7 Series and 2015 Lexus LS 460. Compared with the similarly priced and mechanically related 2015 Hyundai Equus, the K900 doesn't offer a smooth-riding air suspension option, but otherwise, they're effectively equals. As with the Hyundai, though, the biggest issue for some people will just be the Kia badge. But if you can see past the non-premium label, the 2015 Kia K900 is an impressive premium sedan with a far more inclusive price of admission.
Performance & mpg
The 2015 Kia K900 is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces 420 hp and 376 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The EPA estimates fuel economy at 18 mpg combined (15 city/23 highway), which trails other V8-powered luxury sedans in this class.
In Edmunds performance testing, a K900 accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds, about average for a premium luxury sedan.
Safety
Standard safety features for the 2015 Kia K900 include antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, front and rear seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, front and rearview cameras, and Uvo eServices that includes emergency assistance and teen-oriented monitoring features such as curfew, speed and geo-fencing. The Luxury trim level also has a blind-spot monitoring system, rear cross-traffic alert and a lane departure warning system. These features are optional on the Premium trim.
Safety-enhancing options include a 360-degree top-down camera system and a frontal collision warning system that tightens the seatbelts and primes the brakes for maximum stopping power if a collision is imminent.
In Edmunds brake testing, a Kia K900 came to a stop from 60 mph in 130 feet, which is about 10 feet longer than average for this flagship segment.
Driving
In spite of the V8 engine's impressive power output, stepping on the gas in the 2015 Kia K900 doesn't deliver the rush that you might expect in an elite luxury sedan. Instead, speed gathers quietly and effortlessly, and before you know it you're already matching other cars on the interstate. At cruising speed, the K900's cabin is nearly devoid of wind and road noise. It's one of the quietest cars we've tested recently.
The ride quality is comfortable, too, and most bumps and ruts are absorbed with ease. On choppy pavement, however, the ride is a little on the busy side compared to other large luxury sedans. Unlike with most rivals, there's no option to order an adaptive suspension to further smooth out the ride. An adaptive suspension would also help shore up the car's handling abilities. But as of now, the 2015 Kia K900 feels heavy and out of its element when driven with gusto around turns.
Interior
On the whole, the 2015 Kia K900 comes tantalizingly close to matching the quality and features of the German luxury sedans it has in its sights. The interior design is pleasingly up to date with a large 9.2-inch multifunction display mounted in the middle of the dash and cues lifted directly from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Options provide even more comforts, including soft-close doors and reclining rear seats.
Upon closer inspection, though, the K900 comes up a little short compared with established luxury sedans. Even though the Kia's available wood interior trim is genuine, its heavily lacquered and glittered finish gives it the look and feel of plastic. And while the infotainment controller is similar to BMW's iDrive interface, its complicated and unintuitive menus can be a source of frustration. The numerous buttons scattered throughout the cabin also feel a bit less substantial than we'd expect. Notably absent from the options list are amenities like a rear entertainment system, redundant audio controls for backseat passengers and seatback trays.
Getting past these missteps is easy, however, when you consider the K900's long list of standard equipment and its comfortable accommodations. Spending an entire day touring the highways and byways is easy and fatigue-free for four full-size adults thanks to well-shaped seats that are heated and ventilated. Helping to click off the miles is the powerful Lexicon sound system that offers impressive performance, regardless of your taste in music.
Cargo capacity for the K900 maxes out at 15.9 cubic feet, which is about average for the class.
2015 Kia K900 models
The 2015 Kia K900 is a large, five-passenger luxury sedan offered in Premium and Luxury trim levels.
Standard features for the K900 Premium include 19-inch alloy wheels, adaptive xenon headlights, LED foglights, power-folding and auto-dimming mirrors, a panoramic sunroof, a power trunk lid, automatic wipers, front and rearview cameras, front and rear parking sensors and keyless ignition and entry.

Owners' Opinions
What Owners Like
The 2015 Kia K900 consistently garners praise for its exceptional value, providing a luxury sedan experience at a fraction of the cost of its European competitors. Owners frequently highlight the vehicle's smooth and powerful V8 engine as a standout feature, ensuring a comfortable ride that's perfect for long drives. The spacious and well-appointed interior, equipped with advanced features like heated and cooled seats, offers a sense of luxury that rivals more prestigious brands, making it a popular choice for drivers who value comfort and convenience. Many also appreciate the attractive styling and design, which often prompts compliments and curiosity from onlookers.
Common Issues
The 2015 Kia K900 is frequently plagued by suspension problems, with owners reporting recurring issues that lead to costly repairs and parts replacements. Additionally, the car's infotainment system is often criticized for its complexity and lack of intuitive operation, causing frustration when trying to use features like music playback and navigation. Some owners have also faced mounting reliability concerns, including vibrations and design-related defects that remain unresolved despite multiple dealer visits. The scarcity of parts and inadequate dealership support further exacerbate these issues, leaving several drivers dissatisfied with their ownership experience.
Final Takeaways from Everyday Drivers
The 2015 Kia K900 delivers day-to-day satisfaction by offering a balance of luxury features and affordability, making it an appealing option for drivers seeking a spacious and comfortable ride. While the car's luxurious amenities and smooth V8 performance earn high marks from many, some drivers face ongoing challenges with the reliability of certain components, such as the suspension and infotainment system. The rewarding aspects of ownership often come with the caveat of potentially dealing with service and parts availability, as well as inconsistent dealership experiences. For those willing to overlook these hurdles, the K900 provides a plush driving experience without breaking the bank.

2015 Kia K900 Luxury 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl 8A)
I chose this over the Lexus LS. The cars are similar in size, comfort, driving dynamics and cabin noise. The difference is that the K900 is half the price. This car is a pleasure to drive and ride in. Acceleration and shifting are smooth and effortless. Gas mileage is poor in city. Navigation interface is poor, like Mercedes. Parking cameras, LED headlights, heated/cooled seats, and … sound system are all excellent. Have had the car for over a year. I would buy again.
Updating review after owning vehicle for about 3 years. I still enjoy the smooth ride very much. I have purchased new tires and done regular maintenance on the vehicle and it is running strong and quiet. The last 6 cars I owned, I owned for less than 3 years each so the fact that I am keeping this vehicle means something to me.
like new but for half the price

2015 Kia K900 Luxury 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl 8A)
Buy a low mileage one owner and save half the original price. I bought my top of the line with 19K miles in November 2016. black with white leather; love the heads up display and 17 speakers and all the other features; I paid 29K which would not even buy a low mileage Lexus ES with half the options. Inspect it before buying; and try to find a K900 dealer near you; you will love the … car. I re-badged it with the Korean badges and get asked daily if it's a Lexus LS; everyone is stunned at the quality and features in a KIA. I love saving the money and could care less about brand status; it is a steal deal for its car class!!
after 13 months of driving, I would say the seats need more contoured padding; a little too flat.
Jan. 2019 Update after over 2 years ownership: excellent car and no regrets after buying. best car features; ride, and quality for the dollars. recommended as a used car for anyone.
July 2019 Still excellent car; dependable and best value. rare car; few made and great pricing. recommend highly.
Jan. 2020 still love and recommend this car for quality and value and comfort.
Jan. 2021 4 12 years; I'm particular and expect quality. this car still exceeds my desires 100%
Um I don't understand all the critic hate

2015 Kia K900 Premium 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl 8A)
So I keep reading these reviews that say that the K900 feels cheaper than and has an 'Interior quality and driving experience don't equal those of more elite luxury sedans".... You know why? Because its almost half the price... For the price of 1 S550 I can buy two of these so I will live with a button or two that are not up to par with MB.... Speaking of MB, if I compared the K900 … to what it really should be weighed against because of price I would be comparing it to the E350. So for 60k in an E350 I would have heated vinyl seats and nav and thats about it... You know what else I love? its the first new car ever that has had ZERO issues... no "reprogramming issues" (BMW) or "our techs know about it and are working on a fix (MB). Car has been problem free since day one and a joy to drive... I'm 6'2 and 250 and fit comfortably and the kids feel like they are being chauffeured around in the back seat. Not all of us want to take corners at 70mph and I really enjoy the fact that there aren't allot of these on the road. I get thumbs up all the time and get questioned about the car every time I am getting gas (which is allot!) Lease rates through Kia are amazing, about $500 a month. My complaints about the car? Gas mileage... but its a heavy V8 so I get it. I wish the rear side sunscreens were power. Only other issue I have is Kia dealers need to step up their service departments for a better experience. But for the $500 a month I'm saving I will deal with it!
The best used luxury car for the price

2015 Kia K900 Luxury 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl 8A)
I bought my 2015 K900 used at a fantastic price. I am using it a lot more often than my Mercedes and the value you get with this car is absolutely amazing. I have had different Mercedes and BMW cars and I could say that buying this car for the price of a used 2014 BMW 535 or a Mercedes C class 2015 is totally a no brainer!!! No comparison whatsoever unless you are driving the emblem and … not the car in which case changing the emblems to the ones used outside the US is only a couple of hundred dollars and then you have to answer questions from people who stare at the car and ask you what car you are driving
