Kia has revealed the first images of the K8 facelift, offering a sneak peek before its official launch. The shared photos showcase a striking new design, with a completely revamped front end.
The full-size sedan features new LED lights, bearing a strong resemblance to the Kia EV9. The familiar grille now incorporates a modern LED bar, while the daytime running lights (DRLs) are vertically oriented for a contemporary look.
The hood has also been redesigned, accompanied by a fresh new bumper and an enlarged lower air intake for improved engine cooling.
At the rear, the taillights have been refined with crisp LED graphics, and the bumper has been reshaped for a more robust and muscular appearance.
Kia has not yet disclosed details about the K8‘s interior. However, as it is a facelift model, we can expect some subtle upgrades. The current iteration already boasts impressive features, including dual 12.3-inch dashboard screens, a 12-inch head-up display, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
The Kia K8 is likely to retain its engine options in South Korea, offering a choice of gasoline, hybrid, and liquefied petroleum gas powertrains: a 2.5L or 3.5L gasoline engine.
Kia is set to announce detailed specifications and pricing for the K8 facelift on August 8, and pre-orders will open for South Korean dealerships on the same day.
