Thanks for watching the video. Though I am Korean myself, I didn't like Hyundai cars too much back in the days, but now it is a whole different story. Yes, Hyundai cars are getting up there! :)

A message for KIA Sales Team! Guys, please, BE INSPIRED! BRING THIS GORGEOUS 2022 KIA K8 in North-America (USA, Canada and Mexico)! Don't ignore a 500 million people market! Just DO WHAT YOUR ADVERTISING MESSAGE IT'S SAYING: BE INSPIRED! Good luck!

[@cartiglobal]

Thanks for watching the video. I think KIA will take K8 to North America since it is a follow up model of K7(Cadenza). I personally do not like the exterior too much and not as fancy and cozy as Genesis, but then it has pretty much everything drivers need at much lower price. Please subscribe our channel if you find the videos fun and informative! Thank you x 100 !!!

nice review I am planning to purchase this car is it more or same reliable as Toyota Avalon?

[@cartiglobal]

Thanks for watching the video. Frankly speaking, I have not driven the Toyota Avalon yet. The reason is that it is not so popular here in South Korea. I hardly see it on the road. Maybe I have seen one on the roads less than 10 times in the past 6 months. As for the K8, I see it more and more often. It doesn't mean the K8 is a better car than Avalon because they both have pros and cons. I hardly hear any major problems on K7s. Since the K8 is a follow-up model of K7, I am sure it will be a lot more reliable than before. If you find the video helpful, please hit that LIKE button and SUBSCRIBE! Thank you!!

Thanks for your nice review. I have been driving ford taurus from 2013, and since ford stopped from taurus production, i decided to drive another brand. The only matter that concerns me is the cabin noise at high speeds, for example 140 km per hour, is k8 is also as quiet as ford taurus? I am driving between cites. Thans

[@cartiglobal]

Hello. Thanks for watching the video first of all. As far as I remember, the K8 was pretty quiet and even reasonable when it comes to the price. However, the standard of being noisy could be different from people to people so I strongly suggest you to test drive it in person. Another option you may consider is the Genesis G80. It is more expensive, but it is definetely worth the money. I mean the K8 has what the G80 has, but the Genesis is an overall better car even with "Quietness"

I'm planning to turn the arm rest into a mini fridge, so I can bring some cold whiskey with me while I travel, but it looks like it's a bad idea.

[@cartiglobal]

Thanks for watching the video. I think it is a great idea as long as you aren't drinking while driving lol We do need booze at night while traveling. I also envy people who are good with their hands! Good luck and share it with us once you finish making one! :)

@@cartiglobal When you do meetings everyday - almost every hour, you need to conserve energy. So I decided to hire a driver instead of wasting my energy driving my own car.

[@cartiglobal]

I absolutely understand. That's more stressful than physical labor!

[@brahmanandamohanty7870]

What’s 7+1?? 😝 Love the intro..

[@cartiglobal]

Thanks for watching the video. Kia Cadenza is named as K7 in South Korea, but Kia has discontinued K7 and started to produce K8. So it is a silly joke that I made for myself lol K7 + 1(upgrade) = K8 Nothing serious or important. I just needed a hook to get attention from the subscribers lol

[@jaffarbaqi]

Would you elaborate on the suspension system? How did Kia manage to make the K8 so soft riding with such low profile tires?

[@cartiglobal]

Thanks for watching the video. Kia new K8 has the ECS(Electronic Controlled Suspension), which adjusts height of the vehicle depending on the road and driving condition and it, as a result, makes the driving a lot more comfortable and safe simultaneously. Hyundai and Kia cars as big as the K8 a few years ago were very soft and comfortable too, but didn't feel safe, especially at high speed, because they were just too soft, but thanks to ECS, it seems like the K8 was reading and observing the road condition at all time. I mean even with the most updated technology, I am sure there will be a drawback, but while I was test driving it for a few hours within a city, I was highly satisfied. Hopefully, this cleared your question. Thanks and don't forget to subscribe!

I hope it's not too fast I would love to have one the k8 is amazing I'm haylie poe 💓💓💓💓😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍

[@cartiglobal]

Thanks for watching the video. Well, it is not a car to race or anything, but since it has 300 HP, it will speed once you floor it :) A great car!

What is the KIA k8 have right steering configuration for right steering drive country?

[@nodirfayzullaev6788]

What can you recommend Kia K8 v.6 or Kia Sorento v.6 ?????

[@cartiglobal]

Thanks for watching the video! Wow it is a tough question. I had so much fun driving a Sorento 2.5T gasoline model but it was not as comfy as K8. K8 isn't a luxurious sedan but still it was very comfortable and reliable. Most importantly the price was very reasonable. But again, even if it has 300Hp, it wasn't a FUN car. Sorento, on the other hand, had a bit less horse power, but I had the most fun driving it. It really depends on what you are looking for in cars. Test drive is a MUST and figure out what you really want. I would go for a Sorento, but your taste in car may be a lot different from mine :) Please hit that LIKE and SUBSCRIBE if you find my videos helpful! Thank you!

In Korea, we have three different trims for 2.5L, Noblesse Light, Noblesse and Signature. As for 3.5L, we have Noblesse Light, Noblesse, Signature and Platinum.

[@tamaragarringer391]

What tipe of ingen it has V6 yes I'm haylie poe

Hi! Thanks for watching the video. I think you are asking what type of engine is has. The New Kia K8 has 4 different models - 2.5 Gasoline, 3.5 Gasoline, 3.5 LPI and 1.6 Turbo Hybrid. The one I test drove was 3.5L V6 Gasoline with 300HP and 36.6kg of TQ. If u find my video helpful, please hit that LIKE button and Subscribe! Ty!!

The dashboard is cheap but modern.

[@cartiglobal]

Thank for watching the video. The K8 wasn't too luxurious compared to Genesis or Kia K9, but it had everything that drivers need. I think Kia is doing a great(better) job than before!

He sounded it like a negative reviewer, so it was irritating to focus on car

[@cartiglobal]

Thanks for watching the video and I am sorry if I sounded negative, but I speak for mind and that's what I did and do every time. I am not going to kiss A$$ just because I get cars from manufacturers to review. I am honestly going to say what's good and bad from my perspective. I am not a negative review, just very honest with what I deal with :) Have a great day!
