The K900 is powerful! The 420 hp, 5 L gasoline direct injection (GDI) V8 engine with aluminum block and heads delivers power through an 8-speed automatic transmission. It produces 376 lb-ft of torque while attaining a mileage of 15 and 23 mpg for city and highway respectively.
Quite frankly, my driving experience netted me much less mpg than those estimated figures. However, the multi-link front and rear suspensions helped to encourage an exceptional and comfortable drive.
There is also an impressive 311 hp, 293 lb-ft, 3.8 L GDI V6 power plant with estimated fuel economy of 18 and 23 mpg city/hwy. However, the V8 will be my focus for this review.
The Kia K900 Luxury model is equipped with a stunning array of technologically and creature-of-comfort advances: tri-zone automatic climate control with air filtration, Lexicon 17-speaker premium audio system, navigation system with a 9.2-inch display, SiriusXM satellite radio, Nappa leather seats with genuine wood accent interior trim, and other examples of eye-pleasing, mind-soothing, and butt-comforting features. However, the seats were a little tight (narrow) for a luxury sedan.
