Product Overview
Kia K9 / K900 / Quoris (code KH) is a full-size luxury sedan in production from 2012 to 2018. It was available with V6 and V8 engines that displaced 3.8 to 5.0 liters.
In difficult markets, Kia used different nameplates on the same sedan, which also featured somewhat different front fascia. The same 5-liter V8 was available across the regions, though the V6 had different (albeit with small variations) outputs.
These naturally-aspirated engines are paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Kia K9 / K900 / Quoris comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.
