The new headlights evoke thoughts of the upgraded Sorento model or the upcoming K4 sedan. In addition, the grille has been redesigned to look more sophisticated and elegant. The sides feature sharp and modern lines, combined with an impressive new set of wheels.
Currently, there is no illustration of the rear section, but it is highly likely that the KIA K8 Facelift will also receive design modifications at the back as the test prototype is well-concealed.
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.
As for the interior, looking at the recently launched Sorento, it is highly likely that the KIA K8 Facelift will also receive a large curved screen that combines a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment display, 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 date of the K8 Facelift, but it is expected to be around summer 2024 in South Korea, while versions for the European and American markets will debut in late 2024.
