Kia K900 Performance Overview
Kia’s K900 performance record spans 2015 to 2019 in this data set, covering 13 verified tests across two distinct eras of rear-drive luxury sedan development. In KH form, tested from 2015 through 2018, the car was offered with naturally aspirated gasoline power, ranging from the 311-hp Lambda II V6 to the 420-hp Tau 5.0 GDI V8. Early results established the model’s baseline: the 2016 Luxury V6 reached 60 mph in 6.4 seconds, while the 2015 Luxury V8 cut that to 5.5 seconds, a benchmark the first generation maintained.
The shift to the RJ generation for 2019 brought a narrower but quicker formula, replacing the larger-displacement naturally aspirated options with a 365-hp twin-turbocharged gasoline V6. That update produced the quickest results recorded for the model: the 2019 Luxury ran 0-60 in 5.0 seconds and covered the quarter-mile in 13.6 seconds at 105 mph. Across all tests, the K900’s 0-60 spread runs from 5.0 to 6.4 seconds, with an average of 5.61 seconds. As it stands in the available production data, the current-generation RJ is also the quickest version tested, with its best 5.0-second run defining the model’s peak acceleration.

How we verify Kia K900 performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Kia K900 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
