Kia K8

Automobiles

The Kia K8 is an executive car, also classed as a full-size car, that Kia has built since 2021. Its internal designation is GL3, and it was the successor to the K7, which was sold in some markets as the Cadenza. Pictures of the K8 were released on 17 February 2021 and it went on sale in South Korea in April 2021 with an online launch. It shares the Hyundai-Kia N3 platform with the seventh-generation Hyundai Grandeur, which arrived a year later. Features include a driver-centred layout with a curved display, a 12-inch head-up display and a driver ergo motion seat. A K8 Hybrid with a 1.6-litre turbo hybrid engine followed on 4 May 2021, and a facelifted K8 was revealed in South Korea on 9 August 2024. Engines include a 3.5-litre V6 and a 2.5-litre four-cylinder, with an optional 3.5-litre LPI unit.
