Edmunds' Expert Review
Pros
- Plenty of space whether in the front or back seats
- Enthusiastic and satisfying power delivery
- Ample comfort and convenience features
Cons
- More road and engine noise than expected for this class
- Overly busy ride quality for a big luxury sedan
What's new
- The Kia K900 is fully redesigned for 2019
- Standard turbocharged V6 and all-wheel drive
- Part of the second K900 generation introduced for 2019
The fully redesigned 2019 K900, Kia's second crack at the large luxury sedan segment, shares nothing with its predecessor aside from its mission. This value- and comfort-oriented sedan is replete with space, features and the appearance of luxury. While an improvement over the previous K900, this all-new sedan still has some shortcomings.

With a turbocharged V6 and standard all-wheel drive, the 2019 K900 makes a distinct move away from the first-gen car's available V8 and rear-wheel drive. The V6 does not disappoint, delivering plenty of punch even from a standstill and hustling this big sedan up to speed with authority.
Oddly enough, the new K900's ride quality is inescapably fidgety and busy, and there's more road noise than we expect. These qualities aren't the byproduct of a more handling-oriented strategy either — the K900 is meant to be a cruiser, not a muscle-bound sport sedan.
On a more positive note, the K900's ample space will win over anyone who wants to stretch out. And whether in the front or back seat, occupants are treated to an abundance of comfort features. Overall, the K900 has its merits, but superior refinement can still be found from rival sedans such as the BMW 7 Series.
Edmunds' Expert Rating
Driving
Its willing engine hustles the big K900 around with authority, and the transmission is smooth and downshifts at the right times. However, the steering and handling are uninspiring, and nobody will mistake the K900 for a sport sedan.
Comfort
Plenty of seat adjustments will suit a vast range of body types. Its ride quality is strangely busy even before you consider this car's yawning wheelbase, which ought to settle things down. The K900 is also noisier in the cabin than we expect.
Interior
The K900's trump card is its spacious cabin, which offers plenty of space for people of all shapes and sizes. It's easy to plop into the seats, too. Many of its cabin surfaces have a superficial richness that doesn't withstand scrutiny.
Utility
Plenty of connectivity options, such as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless charging and multiple USB ports, are matched by an extended suite of driver assistance features. One neat trick is that the views from the K900's side-mirror camera pop up in the instrument cluster when you click the turn signal. They're an effective workaround to properly adjusted mirrors.
Which K900 does Edmunds recommend?
Few decisions need to be made when it comes to configuring the K900 of your choice. There's only one trim level, the V6 Luxury, and the options list consists of a single option package. Called the VIP package, it gives backseat passengers more comfort. It's steeply priced for the features it provides, so we recommend skipping it unless your rear passengers are particularly demanding.
2019 Kia K900 models
The 2019 Kia K900 is a full-size luxury sedan that seats five passengers. It's available in one trim level: V6 Luxury.
The V6 Luxury's standard equipment includes a turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 engine (365 horsepower, 376 pound-feet of torque), an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. There are no optional engines or drive types.
Its list of standard features is quite long. Among other items it includes 19-inch wheels, heated and auto-dimming side mirrors, full LED lighting, automatic wipers, a traditional sunroof (a panoramic sunroof is not available), a hands-free trunklid, and keyless ignition and entry.
Cabin features include leather upholstery, a 16-way power-adjustable driver's seat (with adjustable lumbar and side bolsters), three-zone climate control, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, wireless charging, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and a 17-speaker Lexicon premium audio system.
The sole option is the VIP package, which includes an LCD instrument cluster, power-adjustable and ventilated rear seats, a wireless charging pad for the rear seats, and a premium headliner.

Owners' Opinions
What Owners Like
The 2019 Kia K900 consistently wins praise for its exceptional value and luxurious features at a competitive price point. Owners frequently highlight the car's refined and quiet ride, with comfort levels that remain impressive even on extensive road trips. The K900’s robust performance, courtesy of its turbocharged V6 engine, allows drivers to effortlessly glide through traffic and savor every journey. The interior receives commendations for its elegant design and high-quality materials, with the spacious cabin offering ample room both for front and rear passengers. Technology-wise, the K900 impresses with its comprehensive suite of features, including an advanced audio system that enhances the driving experience. The vehicle's safety technology, such as lane-centering and adaptive cruise control, instills confidence during both city commutes and long highway drives. Lastly, drivers appreciate the significant fuel efficiency for a car of its size, making it a practical yet luxurious choice.
Common Issues
The 2019 Kia K900's aftersales service is a notable pain point for owners, leaving them dissatisfied with the support experience. Many find service centers ill-prepared to handle luxury expectations, citing long wait times for repairs and parts, especially given the vehicle's limited dealership availability. Some owners express frustration with insufficient communication from Kia's customer service, reporting that promised callbacks are often delayed or never occur. The limited availability of service centers for the K900 means drivers may have to travel distances for routine maintenance, a significant inconvenience. Despite the car's innovative features, certain technological quirks, like the remote start system's auto shut-off, can prove bothersome, especially when managing child car seats or making quick stops. Additionally, concerns have been raised regarding the vehicle's build quality over time, with some parts perceived as cheaply made and not maintaining the initial luxury feel. Lastly, road noise is more pronounced than expected, detracting from the otherwise smooth ride and mark where improvements could further enhance the car's allure.
Final Takeaways from Everyday Drivers
The 2019 Kia K900 impresses everyday drivers with its balance of luxury and performance, coupled with a price that feels justified. As a daily driver, it excels in offering comfort on long journeys, with owners often noting they arrive at their destinations just as refreshed as when they started. The spacious interior garners admiration for its aesthetically pleasing design and beneficial technology, making each ride both enjoyable and convenient. However, despite its many strengths, some aspects of the ownership experience do dampen satisfaction. The long waits for parts and less-than-stellar customer service impact the overall perception of reliability. For all its features, the K900 still struggles to achieve the poised silence expected of a luxury sedan when faced with road noise. Yet, even with these service challenges, drivers find the overall driving experience rewarding.

My new k900
5 out of 5 starsP. K., 07/21/2019
2019 Kia K900 Luxury 4dr Sedan AWD (3.3L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
We bought 2019 K900 early this year and have about 6000 miles so far including road trips. We have nothing but great things to say as the car makes feel so great every time we drive it. It is fast, quiet, beautiful inside and out, dash board is fantastic and there isn’t a thing I have complain about. In the past, I had E430, BMW, Corvett, and many Japanese cars but recently I felt … that Japanese car makers are cheapening out on the materials and charge more for all options so we decide to give Korean company a try based on many reviews I read. What a car!! Oh!, many friends and family members asked us why KIA with that kind of money but once they ride inside with us, they all go “WOW”. We really don’t care much for brand names and we are so happy with our decision so far. Go KIA???
Best car that I have ever owned
5 out of 5 starsStan, 07/16/2020
2019 Kia K900 Luxury 4dr Sedan AWD (3.3L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
I traded in my Equus for the K900. I loved that Equus but it was always breaking down. Three times in 5 years the dealer had the car for over a month to fix. The K900 is better in just about every way. Comfort, features, handling, convenience are all great. Turbos kick in and car takes off. Or you can just drive sedately. Car has so many features that my only complaint is that sometimes … I forget what they all are. I just discovered that XM radio records as it plays back, so you can pause the radio and resume where you left off. Car warns you if you are exiting from vechicle and a car is coming from behind. Feature list is too long to list. 8,800 miles and so far rock solid and no problems.
Great Value and Comfort

2019 Kia K900 Luxury 4dr Sedan AWD (3.3L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
I researched this vehicle over several months and could not find this value anywhere, especially with all the features included in the base price. I bought 30 days ago and got a great deal with financing (below $50,000.00). I have driven less than 1,000 miles so far, but continue to be impressed every time I drive it. My first drive was 350 miles. The drive was so pleasant I didn't … feel tired like I normally do following such a lengthy drive.
I now have 13,000 miles on my K900 and continue to love this car. The highway mileage has consistently been 27 to 28.5 MPG. The ride, comfort and confident handling remain strong values as does the 17 speaker sound system.
I recently took my K900 to the local KIA dealer for my complimentary 15,000 miles maintenance. I was shocked to find that only "K900 licensed" KIA dealer ships could provide this service, even though the K900 has the same transmission and engine as the Stringer. The options were to pay for the maintenance ($200) or go to a "licensed" dealer over an hour drive from my home.
I appealed KIA USA and was told they would respond within 48 hours. That was 7 days ago.
Obviously, I am very disappointed in KIA not delivering on their commitment to support their flagship vehicle.
More for the money

2019 Kia K900 Luxury 4dr Sedan AWD (3.3L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
Great value, great ride, great safety features. The car is rock solid on the road, lane centering and adaptive cruise work as advertised. The camera images are all clear with great resolution, outstanding car for highway cruising. First oil change the dealership left one oil pan cover off completely, and only put in one screw out of four to mount the other panel, (they have to be removed … to change the oil). One panel they replaced when I got back from my trip, the other was back ordered three months. Car is great, gas mileage on the highway at 70 mph is almost 30 mpg.

2019 Kia K900 Review
Edmunds Senior Writer Mark Takahashi traveled all the way to South Korea to check out the all-new 2019 Kia K900. The U.S.-spec version will show up in dealerships in the fall and will have some differences to the Korean-spec model in this video, but those differences should be minor. From initial impressions, comfort and how it drives, this review is a good indication of… what we can expect.
