You've probably never heard of Kia's biggest luxury sedan, but that's alright - we're here to tell you all about it. With only 390 sold in the US in 2019, you're not likely to have seen one in the flesh, but the question is, why isn't the K900 on billboards and in golf course parking lots? It's simple, really. Kia's answer to the BMW 7 Series and the Audi A8 doesn't bear a premium luxury badge on its nose, leaving many a purchaser wondering if it's worth taking the chance on. Perhaps when you consider that the Korean magnate shaves in excess of $25,000 off the asking price of established German marques, you might start to consider that the K900 could just be Kia's best-kept secret. With underpinnings shared with the Genesis G90 and a 3.3-liter turbocharged V6 developing 365 horsepower shared with the Kia Stinger, it certainly looks like a good proposition. But it's less upmarket than the Germans, and without a premium badge, the K900 seems lost in limbo.

As a carryover model from 2019, the K900 sees only a few updates for 2020 - considering the 2019 model was a total redesign, it's not such a bad thing. You're still getting all of the latest technology offered by Kiam and then some, with the 2020 model seeing the addition of a highway-assist feature that adjusts the speed you're traveling at in accordance with interstate speed limits. The surround-view monitor has seen a significant upgrade and delivers a more enhanced image, and the K900 now has repositioned badging, too. Silky Silver has been added as an exterior paint option and replaces Lakestone for the new year.

K900 Interior
The interior is possibly the most surprising aspect of the K900. When you have a glance at the much lower price tag, you assume there must be some significant cost-cutting somewhere. I'm sure you're right, but you'd be hard-pressed to spot where, at first glance. A luxurious and clean interior greets you as you enter and Kia brought out all of the bells and whistles for its biggest sedan. Space, comfort, and tech are part and parcel for the K900 and the feature list reads as long as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Standard features include wireless charging and a large head-up display, as well as triple-zone climate control and ambient lighting for a relaxed atmosphere. Scratch about a bit and you'll find some materials that aren't quite as plush and luxurious as you'll find in an S-Class, but then again, you aren't paying S-Class money, which also lessens the blow of the interior not looking as extravagantly designed.

K900 Trunk and Cargo Space
Though the seating and interior space in the K900 is abundant, the same cannot be said for the trunk space. With 15.3 cubic feet of real estate to work with, it's not totally abysmal; it boasts more trunk capacity than the S-Class, but is quite a bit smaller than the 7 Series' maximum capacity and to make matters worse, the K900's rear seats are not foldable. There is a rear passthrough though, in case you need to grab something from the trunk in a hurry or load a long, slender item. The trunk may not be a cargo supernova, but you'll still be able to fit a set of golf clubs and an overnight bag within its confines. A win for the K900 is its ample space for small items, with center consoles in the front and the back and substantial door pockets make an appearance throughout. Cupholders can be found in the front, as well as in the fold-down center armrest in the rear, which also houses a storage bin.
