The Kia K8 is a full-size sedan manufactured by Kia. Replacing the K7/Cadenza, it was released in April 2021 in South Korea.[2][3]

Overview

Rear view
Interior

The Kia K8 was first offered for sale on 8 April 2021 with an online launch. Pictures of the K8 were released on 17 February 2021. [4]

Notable features include a driver-center layout with a curved display and 12-inch head-up display, updated infotainment and HVAC systems, lighting synced with the navigation system, driver's ergo motion seat, and multi-function center armrest and headrest.[5]

Unlike its predecessor, and similar to the mechanically identical sixth-generation Hyundai Grandeur/Azera twin, the vehicle would not become available to the North American market.[6]

K8 Hybrid

Kia K8 Hybrid was released on 4 May 2021, offering a 1.6-liter turbo hybrid engine in addition to the conventional engine, 17-inch machined-face wheels, an emblem that indicates the vehicle is electric, and a dedicated cluster graphic.[7]

Powertrain

The K8 will be offered with a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 300 PS (296 hp; 221 kW), or the base 2.5-liter inline four making 198 PS (195 hp; 146 kW). An optional 3.5-liter LPI (Liquid Propane Injection) engine will be offered that makes 240 PS (237 hp; 177 kW). It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which is claimed[by whom?] to improve the V6 engines’ fuel economy by up to 6 percent.[citation needed]
