2022 Kia K9 Looks Like A Hyundai Genesis Killer 

Kia's latest flagship vehicle, the K9 which is soon receiving a facelift, has revealed its interior that is looking increasingly plush - so much so that it can be pitted internally with the luxurious Genesis brand. Kia, like Genesis, is a fully owned subsidiary of Hyundai Motors, the South Korean automotive major. Alongside vehicles from Genesis, it also looks like it could compete with the Hyundai Grandeur which will also get a next-generation model in 2022. The K9 is more of a successor to the K900 which was released in the US. 

It gets an upgraded 14.5-inch step on the inside, diagonally placed just like on the Genesis models. It also gets the fingerprint authentication system that was first revealed in Genesis. It could also have multiple user profiles for the sake of personalisation. This way the vehicle will be able to automatically change the seat position, climate control settings and even the side view mirrors. It will even change the driver's digital instrument cluster layout. 

The Kia K9 is launching soon, and has impressive interiors

The system Hyundai revealed a couple of months ago, also postulates the possibility of making payments through the fingerprint scanner ridding the need for a credit card. Like most modern vehicles, the car also supports over-the-air updates which could bring a heads-up display. There will be a smartphone app that will also allow owners to remotely open the vehicle, and even start the car and be spatially aware. 

The car features an extended array of safety and driver assistance features including predictive shifting of the gears which is based on the radar and cameras that are already there on the vehicle. This sedan also has a lot of insulation to make the vehicle quieter via sound-insulating glass. It also gets new wood trims and a posh upholstery, and a new feature called "Ergo Motion" that enables the driver's seat to extend for greater comfort. 

This vehicle will go on sale today, for over $51,000 and the highest trim level will be as expensive as $68,300, though this doesn't include the options.
