Kia K8 is a fairly large car, over 5 meters long, which will compete with models such as the BMW 5-Series, Audi A6, Lexus ES, Toyota Avalon. In terms of equipment and impressiveness, it is not inferior to its rivals, but it is significantly cheaper than them – in its native South Korea, the sedan costs from $29,000.
The presented photos show the new and most beautiful version of the brand's signature "tiger nose" radiator grille (with large diamond-shaped patterns). The new model also draws attention with its sloping roofline, a ducktail-style spoiler, and boomerang-shaped rear lights with a wide brake light. The K8's interior is styled in the same spirit – lots of leather with the same diamond pattern (on seats, door cards), aluminum trim, and a large screen on the front panel (combining the instrument cluster and multimedia).
Recall that the Kia K8's engine lineup includes three engines: a 3.5-liter V6 with 300 hp, its gas version (LPI, propane-butane) with 240 hp, and a 2.5-liter four-cylinder producing 195 hp. Later, a 1.6-liter four-cylinder should also appear. Drive is front-wheel as standard, with all-wheel drive available for an extra charge.
Sales of the Kia K8 are expected to begin soon.
