“The decision to change the name is due to the fact that with the update the model received significant changes in both design and equipment, which allows it to claim its own unique name,” the message says.
The sedan can be distinguished from its predecessor thanks to a modified front optics with T-shaped elements of diode daytime running lights, an enlarged radiator grille, as well as a new Kia logo on the hood.
In the back, there were other lights. The place for attaching the license plate was moved from the trunk lid to the bumper. In addition, the model received 19-inch original alloy wheels.
In Russia, Kia K9 will be offered with a 3.3-liter petrol engine producing 249 hp. The motor works with an automatic eight-speed gearbox. The car is available with an all-wheel drive system.
