Kia has confirmed that its K900 sedan will make its official North American debut at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show.

Kia has confirmed to its dealers that the rear-wheel-drive Quoris sedan will be heading to North America as the K900 early next year.

At a recent event in South Korea, Kia unveiled its 2013 K7 model which is rumored to be heading to America as the Cadenza.

The Kia K9 is the Korean brands first venture into the luxury car segment, and it is now officially on sale in Korea. 

The Kia K9 will be the Korean automaker’s flagship luxury sedan, flaunting design lines from Peter Schreyer who has undoubtedly helped transform Kia’s modern day lineup.

Schreyer, who is widely known for his design contributions to the Audi TT model, became the chief design officer at Kia Motors in 2006. Kia’s automobiles haven’t looked the same since then — in a good way.

In a recent video, Peter Schreyer explains the design behind the new Kia K9 rear-wheel drive luxury sedan. This is the Korean automaker’s first rear-wheel drive luxury sedan that will be built on the same platform as the Hyundai Genesis sedan and Equus models.
