Kia Presents K9 Facelift, Offers Luxury And Latest Features

JAKARTA - Shortly after introducing the latest K4 model, Kia expanded the ranks of sedan-type vehicles by presenting K9 facelift for the South Korean market.

Reporting from Motor1, Wednesday, April 3, the change in the model lies in the front goal with a horizontal bar replacing the V-shaped element in the previous version. The sedan also has the latest 19-inch design rim.

The inside is also presented with luxury with the new Martian Brown theme orten Gray. After Blow technology is also present in the cabin to dry the condensation that forms when using air conditioning to prevent unpleasant odors where when the engine is turned off for approximately half an hour, After Blow is automatically active for 10 minutes to dry the ventilation channel to avoid mold growth. Battery sensors ensure the system doesn't turn on when the car battery is running out.

Another change is that the cabin is equipped with a massageable front passenger seat, a USB-C port in front and rear, and a fire extinguisher. Users of this vehicle will also be spoiled with a number of features such as a 14.5-inch display, digital key, electronically controlled suspension, reverse guide lights, and over-the-air.

The heart of the runway comes in two variants, namely 3.3 liters of turbo which offers 365 dk and 3.8 liters of naturally-assirated power.

Competing with other rivals in the full-size segment of luxury sedans such as Audi A6, Toyota Crown, and Lexus ES, Kia K9 is priced at 59.3 million won (around Rp699.9 million).
