The first-ever Kia K8 served as the replacement for the K7 premium midsize sedan, and this new luxury saloon is the first of Kia’s bold new era because this is the first Kia model to don the new logo.
Under the hood, the K8 is powered by a choice of two petrol engines and a 3.5L LPi which is very cheap to fill. The 2.5L petrol engine produces 198PS of power and 25.3kgf-m of torque while the most powerful of the range, the Smartstream G 3.5 GDi engine, produces 300PS of power and 36.6kgf-m of torque. All are mated to an 8-speed AT, which is operated by a rotary knob selector similar to the ones used by the Jaguar Land Rover vehicles.
Kia K8 Hybrid
Under the hood, the K8 Hybrid features the Smartstream Turbo Hybrid powertrain first applied on the Sorento MQ4. It’s a turbocharged 180PS 1.6L petrol engine bolted to a 44.4kW electric motor and a lithium-ion battery, while mated to a 6-speed automatic gearbox. As a result, it has a fuel economy of 18kmpl.
