Kia revealed the first official photographs of its all-new flagship sedan — the “K9” – to be launched during the first half of this year in the Korean market.

K9 is Kia’s first rear-wheel drive sedan and will complete Kia’s domestic ‘K’ series range of passenger cars, whose members also include the front-wheel drive K5 (Optima in overseas markets) and K7 (Cadenza in overseas markets) sedans.

With its family-look radiator grille, bold LED headlamps, stable rear view with LED combination lamps, luxurious chrome garnish and bumper-integrated muffler, K9 completes the parameters for a whole new level of luxury car design.
