Bold and stylish are perhaps the most appropriate words to describe the exterior design of the KIA K8 Facelift from the perspective of NYMammoth. The signature tiger nose grille, borderless with a rather complex diamond pattern. The front bumper of the car is redesigned to look more aggressive and muscular than the current version. The headlight cluster is also redesigned with a new prominent daytime running LED strip.

The sides feature sharp and modern lines, combined with new impressive designed alloy wheels.
There is currently no illustration of the rear, but it is highly likely that the KIA K8 Facelift will also receive design enhancements at the rear as the test prototype is well camouflaged at the rear.
In terms of powertrain, we do not expect significant changes compared to the current version, except for some minor adjustments to improve engine efficiency and upgrade the battery pack to increase the operating range for the HEV variant.
Regarding the interior, looking at the recently launched Sorento, it is highly likely that the KIA K8 Facelift will also receive a large curved screen cluster, which is a combination of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, accompanied by the latest safety features and technologies. The new steering wheel is inspired by the EV9.
Kia has not yet announced the official launch time of the K8 Facelift, but it could be around the summer of 2024 in South Korea, while versions for the European and American markets will be launched in late 2024.
