The KIA K8 Facelift, as seen through the eyes of NYMammoth, can be described as bold and stylish. Its exterior design features a signature tiger nose grille with a complex diamond pattern, giving it a borderless and eye-catching look. The front bumper has been redesigned to give the car a more aggressive and muscular appearance. The headlights have also been updated with a prominent LED strip for daytime running lights.

The sides of the car feature sharp and modern lines, complemented by impressive alloy wheels.
While there are no illustrations of the rear, it is highly likely that the KIA K8 Facelift will also receive design enhancements at the back, as the test prototype is heavily camouflaged.
In terms of powertrain, we don’t expect significant changes compared to the current version. However, there might be some minor adjustments to improve engine efficiency and upgrade the battery pack to increase the operating range for the HEV variant.
When it comes to the interior, we can expect the KIA K8 Facelift to adopt a large curved screen cluster, similar to the recently launched Sorento. This cluster combines a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen and comes with the latest safety features and technologies. The new steering wheel takes inspiration from the EV9.
Kia has not yet announced the official launch date for the K8 Facelift, but it is anticipated to be around the summer of 2024 in South Korea. The European and American markets will likely see the launch of their respective versions in late 2024.
