Say hello to the 2019 model of the K900 from Kia. Unveiled at the 2018 NY Auto Show, we see a reimagined K900 to bring forth more tech & safety into their luxury sedan. This actually marks the 2nd-gen model of Kia's top of the line sedan. Let's get into all of the new bells & whistles involved, shall we?

We got no word on pricing but we can presume the price point will be the ballpark of what the K900 goes for now. Currently, it starts at around $50,000 MSRP, BTW. The new K900 is set to go on sale later this year as pricing will be announced then.
