"Our decision to give this striking new sedan an unconventional name means it will stand out even further from the established crowd, driving Kia sales in what is a new segment of the global automotive market for Kia," said Thomas Oh, Kia’s Executive Vice President.
In its domestic market, the K9 is available with two V6 GDI engines, namely a 296bhp 3.3-litre unit and a more powerful 329bhp 3.8-litre unit. Both are linked to an eight-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. For the overseas market, the Quoris will be offered with a 286bhp Lambda V6 3.8-litre MPI and the 329bhp 3.8-litre GDI engine. My opinion is that the domestic 3.3-litre GDI version should be exported in place of the 3.8-litre MPI version.
The high-end Korean model is available with a number of safety features including a lane-departure warning system and blind-spot detection. A reclining rear seat with leg rest will also be available, just like in the Equus.
