PetrolHead YouTube Channel Features 2022 Kia K9 With Reworked Front End, New Infusion of Technology

 

As the Fourth of July approaches here at Jim Butler Kia of St Louis, we are proud to be patriotic Americans and also thrilled to offer our preferred brand of car to hard-working students, professionals, and families in the metro area. When we take the extra time to have a few extra clicks on our pre-holiday itinerary and check out the many YouTube channels out there for information, it is always fascinating to locate the many coming-soon teasers, and reports back of “exciting fireworks” after test drives of the various models we provide and service. 

This walkaround video we located last week takes an in-depth look at the different styling changes that the 2022 Kia K9 shows off, revamping the styling inside and out as the sedan receives several new adjustments to appearance and function. Beginning outside, you notice a larger Tiger Nose grille that is given a new V-shaped diamond-like pattern, flanked by narrower headlights than last year's model. The front fenders now have chrome garnish, and there's a new full-width LED light bar covering the distance of the trunk. 

The license plate is now moved from the trunk to the lower bumper, and inside the infotainment screen raises from 12.3 inches to 14.5. The 2022 K9 also gets the same fingerprint authentication system that Hyundai and Genesis models have that do one of the most “essential worker's” jobs within the car: store many multiple personalized profiles that have high-tech eyes on temperature settings and seat positions. The enlarged front grill now sporting chrome “V” logos has a cleaner appearance and strategically-placed air ducts at its corners. 

Answering the questions about all of the technical specifications, a full reveal is expected to take place in the coming weeks. In a landscape where it feels as if crossovers and SUVs have truly taken over, it is refreshing to see the always-engaging and fun-to-drive sedan keep chiseling away at winning over drivers. Even though powertrain specifics have not yet been officially released, the outgoing model offers a variety of V6s that generate between 250 and 311 hp, and a 5.0-liter V8 that cranks out 419 hp. 

After a year of one uncertainty after another, we have been excited to get ready to inform everyone about the many features of newly-acquired auto stock. With a lifetime protection plan available on most pre-owned models and the new 2022 Kia Carnival now available for a test drive, we can heat up your summer with the best deals around, and see you truly having a carefree buying experience. Check out the incentives we have cooked up that are just as tasty and traditional as a 4^th of July barbecue, and choose Jim Butler for your June and July brand-new car experience!
