[@mjareacts2731]

Very nice review. But the only thing that ticks me off a bit about most car reviews (including yours) is that I hear a ton about Apple carplay, and nothing about Android auto. It would be nice if you guys remember there are people with Android phones out here that can actually use that charging pad.

[@robyoungquist5803]

Only a BADGE SNOB would pass up the value of this car. Well done Kia 👍🏻

[@johnholst]

Glad you liked the K9 Forrest! This car has been on sale here in Korea since April of 2018 and it's REALLY nice. All the wood is real, except the wheel. They were worried about the shape warping if they used real wood there. For this money, I think it's really hard to find a better car.

[@reddz80]

The Kia logo really throws it off. They should put the Korean K logo on their higher end and performance models.

[@gemneyebable]

That's what i put on my '15 Cadenza

[@alliejr]

EXACTLY and agreed. That one small change would make all the difference.

[@scowler92]

It would have more draw, since people will wonder what it is.

[@karlsandin4515]

I think Lexus sued them sadly over it

Karl Sandin really? Why? It’s really nothing like the Lexus L. That’s bizarre.

[@juliusadams1931]

I never thought I would ever even look at a Kia or Hyundai but again when Lexus came out back in 1989 I thought the same thing then and I was wrong I am so impressed with Kia and Hyundai I didn't know until I drove test drive the all new 2020 Genesis g90 this car is Amazing I'm thinking about trading my Mercedes in for a brand new 2020 Genesis g90

This car has a very inviting interior. After sitting in and exploring the interior of the LS500, I find myself more drawn towards the K900 when I compare the two - even if they don't compete with each other.

[@alliejr]

Agreed. Latest LS500 is a failure and step backward and both K900 and Hyundai G90 are better.

[@timw2083]

Did you consider the Genesis G80? I like both and cannot decide.

[@nickcagle3665]

Thank you for making this video because I have noticed that Kia quality has increased extremely over the last decade and everybody has been ignoring their efforts to increase their quality in materials and equipment

[@brianbfree2328]

I sat in one over the weekend and it is very impressive in terms of material quality and design. They use a lot of real metal, which is unheard of in a mainstream automaker model. If I were in the market for a luxury sedan, this and the G80 would be my choice. Tons of value!!

[@LoneWolfHustle]

Must admit, this is car awesome. Kia has stepped it in the last couple of years. K 900, Stinger and Telluride are all vehicles I would consider buying.

[@rocostello1]

Reminds me of the Lincoln Continental which has for me greater presence. Kia 900 would compete with the Lincoln reserve model in price . It looks like a nice car but I really don’t like the info screen which is not integrated into the dash .

I'd wait for the 2020 G90 which looks so much nicer than anything else. Especially black. I'll take it over MB S or BMW 7.

[@knight4u96]

www.carscoops.com/2019/06/facelifted-2020-kia-cadenza-breaks-cover-as-the-k7-premier-in-korea/ They might put something similar in the newer gen stinger models. This is the new K7 2020 which is basically the e class segment for mercedes

[@tdade13]

The stinger came out before so it probably will in the next gen, along with the 10 inch screen

[@haonanzhang6759]

It's the trend now. Most features in k900 would gradually downgrade to all Kia models just like everyone else.

Great Review Man. Loving the intro music from this review. I would drive this car in about 2 years once it is in the 30k price range for sure.

[@AJCalabria1]

Awesome review. You've mentioned more about the K900 than I've seen in other reviews. I was on the fence about looking for a good quality used K900. But, now, I'm definitely going to be looking so I can get one when they come available.

[@younginfamou6053]

DE badge it, put on some nice wheels and you'll certainly turn heads , the elegance is astounding coming from a kia. I haven't even seen the interior yet and I'm already intrigued . Edit: wow this is completely marvelous, the masterpiece is something I've only seen in high end luxury cars and boats . Brilliance and reliability finally addressed in one envelope ;}

Here's what I like about this review. This gentleman is sincerely impressed by this car, as the result of not being hindered by compromised logical thinking, as badge worshipers are. I love his energy as well. This is a fine ride and he reacts to it as such. This is how reviews should be, reflective of the automobile. Too many reviewers have become complacent. Indifferent to the grandeur of vehicles they review and simply going through the motions for that monetize check.

[@dexburwell]

Fun Fact: the beloved E-Class Mercedes is a basic taxi cab in Europe, similar to the Ford Crown Vic in the US. Hyundai/Kia is crushing the game and badge snobs. My Kia Stinger GT1 will probably be replaced by the '22 G70 AWD

[@rockinrocfishing1634]

Kia’s take on a Benz with some Lexus in it. It’s a refreshing break from the norm and I dig it. I’d buy this over an S class and that’s coming from a loyal Mercedes customer and brand enthusiast. Love what Kia is doing here

If you're in America, there was no S560 until 2018. Prior to that it was the S550. I thought it was a typo on your part until you typed it more than once.

[@ABDOU-OTHMANE]

the same for me the car from back is like bentley and mercedes

[@kclark8080]

Your review was well done in style and substance. The K900 does provide a case for a good value proposition. It does cheat in some areas that a consistent German luxury buyer would notice. But someone moving up from Buick, Acura or Infiniti will see it for what it is. An upgrade! Subscription added!

[@sirluke7]

The gauges look like Rivian headlights~! I drove a 2019 6 cyl Kia Sorento just a month ago that I rented from Hertz! I averaged 28.7 mpg from Tulsa, OK to San Diego, CA. A wonderful vehicle.... My best mpg was 30.7mpg from Arizona to El Paso on my return trip. My worst mpg was stop n go in San Diego which was 16.8 mpg. I am convinced I'd buy a Kia after driving nearly 4,000 miles... in a week.

[@corpnupe85]

I own a 2015 Genesis 3.8 Ultimate. I love the vehicle. I don’t think I would upgrade to the Genesis G90. I would have to purchase a preowned Mercedes S Class, as that vehicle has a lot of options and is a masterpiece.

[@jayjordansr695]

Dude you are selling the heck out of this car lolol. I never knew Kia looked like this 🤔

It like Mercedes, BMW and Bentley

[@arealassassin]

It looks far nicer than the latest offerings from Merc! The style is understated, sophisticated without shouting, and the bodyline is far nicer than the hideous great slash on the Merc that doesn't really line up with anything. The Kia is what the Merc SHOULD have looked like!

[@houstenor]

I have a special place in my heart for Kia. I bought the first Sportage in the US in 1995. My first real car after college. Loved that SUV. I went to other brands after that until 2015 when I got the Cadenza. Loved that car too, but after 50k miles, the electronics went to the toilet; sun roof housing, infotainment system, and starter. From my research, electrical systems seems to be a consistent problem with Kia. Kia has a lot of luxury items in their cars, but there is a reason for the lower price tag than comparable vehicles. In my opinion, they go with cheaper components. If you are in the luxury market, do your research and take into consideration of long term costs. I just switched my Cadenza out with a Lexus ES Hybrid and love it!

Well compared to a Mercedes S class that with around the same amount of specs that doesn't even have every option you are looking at $120k without tax so yea the K900 being $65k is huge difference.
