Lovely presentation of this new model (K8) by a very competent Korean host. She speaks great English and is utterly knowledgeable about cars. You have won me over. Am now a subscriber, after viewing your Vlog review 😊👍
Obviously the K8 is quite an impressive car with something of an Audi A7. I like that Kia has its own style and it's not just a Hyundai with a different badge. I like the diamond shape they used everywhere (even the seat memory buttons), DS has this kind of vocabulary on their cars too. Maybe the ambiance is a little bit too dark but there may be some other trim available. (The only problem is that we tend to focus more on Ma Ri than on the cars but, well, we'll manage! :D )
A message for KIA Sales Team! Guys, please, BE INSPIRED! BRING THIS GORGEOUS 2022 KIA K8 IN North-America (USA, Canada and Mexico)! Don't ignore a 500 million people market! Just DO WHAT YOUR ADVERTISING MESSAGE IT'S SAYING: BE INSPIRED! Good luck!
I'm not fond of the front end styling - it looks really busy, perhaps too much going on. The interior looks comfy and rather pleasing overall. Very well presented!
You bring up a lot of good observations that it seems like Kia and Hyundai automotive engineers would like to hear from you earlier in the design process.
Hybrid is the Best way to go. I fill up my 2019 Ioniq hybrid 3x a month in So. California for no more than $85 and I drive it as I do any car and Avg 46-48 mpg.
Great presentation. It would be helpful if there was a way to cover the various models and options available. Most reviews only show the fully loaded top end model available but the K8 starts around 30 million won and goes up to 50 million. There are a lot less options available in foreign countries but in Korea you can add so many options so it would be nice to get a brief description of the options, possibly some pictures showing visible differences where possible.
What a beautiful Sports Sedan... too bad it's gonna remain an infamous legend cause KIA is too arrogant to switch it to a proper Front Longitudinal RWD/ AWD Layout... Not many people would spend that much on a Front Transverse Car... If KIA knows what's good for them, they would make the next Gen KIA K7 and the Next Gen KIA K8 either a: 1. Front Longitudinal RWD/ AWD Layout 2. RWD/ AWD Serial Hybrid Layout with a Front Longitudinal Range Extender Layout
It is competing with azera which I owned now, it is upgraded version of former K7, a little better and expensive than azera, it is realised this year and hot in south korea
Was looking forward to seeing the K8 in the U.S. Kia definitely has fallen in love with patterns lately. The diamond pattern is a bit much, and the frameless grill is just ok. Not that great in white. But it surely seems a lot more competitive in its segment.
As a 2-time Cadenza owner (2014 and 2017), I find this version over styled. It apparent to me that Hyundai and Kia are going overboard with styling for the mainstream market with the exception of the Telluride, who’s styling is executed beautifully IMO. Sometimes less is more.
I agree... not a fan of chrome on my vehicles...and those Diamond pattern designs on the KIA Vehicles are pretty bad looking. It just looks cheap to me.

Thank you, Mari! Your reviews are beautiful!
Genesis/Kia/Hyundai are definitely providing quality with great pricing for consumers.

We need this here in the US.
Unfortunately, SUVs have taken this privilege from us.

Good review as usual with a very clear explication about the K8
You make a great job! Greetings from 🇨🇭
That green paint job is perfection! Such a nice looking car

Love the green color; hope Koreans buy lots and lots of hybrids and EVs!
It looks sooo good!

Korean cars now are very progressive and less inexpensive vs german competitors. Im a new subscriber. Host is very good to in presentation
The grille and rear lightbar are very decisive design choices. But everything else is perfect.
Great review
Thanks!
I really want to by this car in USA, So many other people here would buy it as well .

waiting to launch in middle east
The quilting is a Korea market feature only, right?
Not really :-(

Nice car! The reviewer is so cute too lol
DIAMOND 💎 overload

How much is it in USA?
Not for the US market :-(
What’s with fake exhaust these days
& how luxury this is... they should have real ones.
right hand drive available? 😟
Not at this moment. We will see :-)
почему не показали ключ и парковку! 😤

Not a fan of the wheel
How much..。？
In S. Korea, the price starts at 27,550,000 KRW (=24,6888 USD).
I agree... not a fan of chrome on my vehicles...and those Diamond pattern designs on the KIA Vehicles are pretty bad looking. It just looks cheap to me.
@@changsangma1915 Dude...Chill pill time....Why are you all upset over my comment? Are we all supposed to like the same things you do?
I think those chromes are too much too, especially the ones falling next to the rear lights eww
Definitely been copying the likes of Mercedes I see with the instrumentation
죄송하지만 자동차 리뷰어엔 부적합 하시네요. 차가 안보여....
Coming in russia
New logo in Russia will be pronounced like "key", because it is written cyrillic КИ 🤭
No thanks.
