Developed by Kia’s global design headquarters in Namyang, Korea and the brand’s U.S. design studio in Irvine, California, the all-new K900 will make its world debut at the New York International Auto Show later on March 28.
Based conceptually on the the changing shape of condensed energy, a new ‘Quadric pattern’ signature grille – seen for the first time today – is the focal point of the K900.
Embodying the K900’s design concept, the grille contains 176 jewel-like ‘cells’, suggestive of released energy accelerating away from its centre.
It has ‘Duplex’ LED headlamps, and a 12.3-inch HMI (Human Machine Interface) screen.
The K900's dashboard also houses an elegant analogue clock, developed exclusively by Swiss watch brand Maurice Lacroix.
Longer and wider than its predecessor, the wheelbase of the new model has been extended by 60mm (2.3 inches) to 3,105mm (122.2 inches).
Drivers can also adapt the cabin of the new K900 to personal preferences with a new mood lighting system.
Customisable on the move, the subtle ambient lighting floods the interior in one of seven colours, jointly developed by Kia and the Pantone Color Institute.
Drivers can also choose from 64 unique settings to adapt light levels throughout the car.
The all-new K900 will be made in South Korea.
