The K8 features a modern innovative sedan that combines sportiness and performance with a progressive and sleek exterior design.

Taking on an all-new name, and the first model to be launched following Kia’s recent rebrand, the K8 has been designed with the future in mind.

At the front sits a new signature frameless ‘tiger nose’ grille that gives the K8 presence and authority. The frameless grille, which is integrated within the front bumper to give a clean yet expansive look, features an intricate diamond lattice designed to express the movement of light. The front lamps include a turn signal that resembles a star could.

The elongated K8—5,015-mm in length—features a sporty side profile with a dynamic character line. Completing the look is a dynamic and muscular rear-end that re-interprets the sedan of today as a modern ‘fastback’ passenger car. Running below the spoiler lip is a futuristic-looking horizontal taillight that carries across the jewel patterned arrangements from the front and side and connects the K8’s next-generation LED rear light clusters.

Kia will reveal more details on the K8 later in the year.
