What is the k8?
2 Answers
k8 is Dongfeng Yueda Kia. Here is the relevant introduction about Dongfeng Yueda Kia: 1. Appearance: The K2's appearance closely follows the family trend. The tiger-nose front design, streamlined body lines, solid hollowed-out alloy wheels, and a more dynamic rear styling all make the K2 look like a scaled-down version of the K5. The interior of the K2 is also quite similar to the K5, with a style that leans towards sportiness. 2. Power: In terms of power, the K2 is equipped with 1.4L and 1.6L engines, with the 1.6L likely using the same engine as the Forte, delivering a maximum power of 90.4kW/6300rpm and an increased maximum torque of 155Nm/4200rpm.
I test drove the Kia K8 last week. This car is the flagship sedan in the Korean domestic market, positioned as more premium than the K7. It's powered by a 3.5L V6 engine paired with an 8AT transmission, delivering exceptionally smooth driving dynamics. With a length exceeding 5 meters, the rear seats offer ample legroom. The dashboard features a curved dual-screen display and even includes fingerprint recognition for starting the car. The most stunning feature is the matrix-style crystal daytime running lights, which light up like a diamond necklace at night. However, it's not officially available in the domestic market—buyers would need to turn to parallel import dealers, with prices around 600,000 RMB, offering a more niche appeal compared to domestic models like the 56E.
