2020 Kia K900 Safety and Reliability

Though we can sing the K900's praises based on its array of safety features, the IIHS and NHTSA haven't performed any crash tests on it. This is quite common for large luxury sedans, and it's quite obvious why. We can understand the reluctance behind cooking Kia's nearly $60,000 goose, but with a number of features shared between the K900 and the Genesis G90, we'd like to assume the Kia will perform as admirably as its 2019 Top Safety Pick+ winning relative.

The Korean luxury sedan boasts a seemingly boundless list of safety features and it's clear that Kia left no stone unturned when they were bolstering the K900's abilities to keep its driver and passengers out of harm's way. A total of nine airbags grace the car from front to back, including dual-front, front side, rear-seat side, and side curtain airbags, as well as a driver's knee airbag. A long list of driver-assist features include everything you'd want from your car, and the only thing it can't do is predict the future. Driver-assist features under the Drive Wise umbrella include traditional features like park distance control, blind-spot monitoring and avoidance assist, forward collision warning and assist, as well as a rear cross-traffic alert and a rear collision avoidance system. Added to the list are lane-keep, departure and following assist, and driver attention warning will alert you if it believes you're feeling sleepy.

The K900 might be relatively new for Kia, but reliability isn't. The Korean giant has built its reputation upon dependability and cars that last, so it's unsurprising that the 2020 K900 has suffered no recalls as yet, and no recalls were reported for 2019, either.

Kia further emphasizes their reliability-focused approach by offering a fantastic, class-leading ten-year/100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty, along with a five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, a five-year/100,000 mile limited anti-perforation warranty, and 24-hour roadside assistance for five years/60,000 miles, should you encounter any issues.
