Kia published the first official photos of its flagship sedan, reports
Carclub.ru .
In the local market, the novelty will appear in the summer of this year and complement the line of models with the K - K5 (Optima) and K7 (Cadenza) index. As it is planned to name a business bar in other countries, it will be clear later.
Kia K9 clearly borrowed some stylistic ideas from the BMW 7th series, but one cannot but admit that the car has its own face.
The Radiator grille K9 gained a narrowed central part, which enhances its resemblance to the branded "nostrils" BMW.
The car is built on the Hyundai Genesis platform, which implies the presence of the rear -wheel drive and engines V6 and V8.
According to Motor.ru , perhaps the KIA K9 will be offered with three gasoline engines: with a 333-horsepower six-cylinder engine with a volume of 3.8 liters, a 4.6-liter "eight" with a capacity of 385 horsepower, as well as with a 429-horsepower five-liter fuel injection and eight-stage automatic gearbox.
The manufacturer will announce the prices and options for completion later.
