U Spy Kia’s 2019 K900 Looking Premium In Dubai

Prior to its global premiere later this year, the new 2019 Kia K900 has been spied testing by Carscoops reader Abdullah in Dubai.

The prototype in question wears a layer of black and white camouflage, shielding most of its design. Among the visible tweaks between the new car and the outgoing model are LED daytime running lights in the headlights, a revised front grille, and new lower air intakes.

At the rear, Kia designers have created a pair of taillights which, from some angles, look very similar in shape to those from the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

While only moderate modifications will be made to the cabin, the interior is expected to be a dramatic departure from the current car. For example, it is reported that the South Korean automaker will offer a Lexicon audio system as standard. Additionally, plush materials and wooden surfaces will be found within.

In terms of engines, we hear the new K900 will get the 3.3-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 from Genesis, delivering 365 hp and 420 hp respectively. Both of these engines will be mated exclusively to a 10-speed automatic gearbox powering the rear wheels. All-wheel drive will be an option.

Pricing should start at a touch over $49,900.
