KIA’s premium sedan meets needs, wants and expectations of buys according to surveys

Earlier this summer, the Cadenza took home a Vehicle Satisfaction Award from AutoPacifica as well. It’s easy to see why owners of the 2015 Cadenza love the KIA sedan so much.

Wireless Bluetooth Connectivity, rear-camera display, tilt steering wheel, push-button start and dual map lights are part of the long list of standard features.

Luxurious K900 Eligible for Sign It & Drive It Event at Jim Butler KIA

$0 down on flagship KIA sedan all that’s needed for 36-month lease from the KIA Butler

For St. Louis luxury car fans, the current offers for the 2015 KIA K900 Luxury at Jim Butler KIA in Chesterfield Valley don’t get much better than this. Many members of the KIA line-up are enjoying the Sign It & Drive It event, and the K900 is no exception!

As St. Louis’ exclusive K900 dealer, Jim Butler KIA is offering the 2015 K900 Luxury for $0 down for a 36-month lease. The K900 gives its owners luxury feel, style and performance without the traditional European luxury pricetag. From the aerodynamic exterior to the 5.0-liter V8 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, the K900 lives and breathes luxury.

Jim Butler KIA offers $0 down when BMW, Audi don’t

The KIA K900 has become somewhat of a darkhorse in the luxury sedan segment, but more and more luxury fans are starting to take notice. Comparisons have been made holding up the K900 to the likes of BMW and Audi.

Where KIA excels is the current offers for a luxury sedan in St. Louis. The Sign It & Drive it event means those who purchase a K900 from Jim Butler KIA put $0 down for a 36-month lease starting at $599 per month.

All of those details of the lease — $0 down (excluding tax, title, license and dealer fees), 36 months, starting $599 a month, 12,000 miles per year — all best the competition for luxury vehicles in the same field as the K900. Let’s take a quick look at the current lease offers for BMW:

2015 BMW 740Ld xDrive 
$4,500 down payment 
Starting at $919/month for 24 months
10,000 miles per year
$6,344 cash due at signing

Lined up next to the K900, the comparably equipped BMW 740Ld may have the BMW name, but the German sedan requires thousands in down payments and cash due at signing for fewer miles per year, a shorter lease and higher monthly payments.

Now let’s review the offering from the comparably equipped 2015 Audi A8:

2015 Audi A8
$8,545 cash due at signing
Starting at $855/month for 36 months
10,000 miles per year

Well, this is a bit closer to the K900’s offering, but still miles away. While the lease is for the same length, the mileage is less per year. Pus, you shouldn’t have to fork over nearly $9,000 to drive a luxury car just because of the European nameplate.

The K900 offers you what other luxury cars can for a fraction of the cost even if the Sign It & Drive It event wasn’t going on. Now is the time to check out and test-drive a K900 for yourself at Jim Butler KIA in Chesterfield, MO, your exclusive K900 dealer for St. Louis. It’s time to rethink luxury and think K900!

St. Louis K900s at Jim Butler Kia Keep Pace with Luxury European Brands

Robb Report ranks impressive KIA K900 among 2015 Car of the Year finalists

The 2015 KIA K900 continues to prove its worth in the luxury sedan segment with its latest mention and honor. The K900 — available exclusively in St. Louis at Jim Butler KIA in Chesterfield Valley — ranked among Robb Report’s 2015 Car of the Year finalists.

However, making the Robb Report list is not the same as making a Kelley Blue Book list or Consumer Reports. Robb Report is a magazine publication that reports on "connoisseurship for ultra-affluent consumers" As the KIA K900 makes the list on a publication geared toward more affluent lifestyles, it shows how far the KIA brand and, specifically, the K900 have progressed in such a short time.

KIA recently topped luxury European brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW in Consumer Reports rankings, and as a Robb Report finalist, it shows the K900 can keep pace with the grandest of luxury offerings.

How the K900 Impressed the Robb Report Judges

The KIA K900 was dubbed a "dark horse" by the Robb Report panel. Admittedly, they "questioned" KIA’s place in competition, but the K900 soon showed why it belongs in the same discussion as Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

The K900’s amenities and performance stood out to the judges as Robb Report said they "rival those of the big sedans from Audi, Jaguar Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and BMW." They also were impressed by the nearly half-price cost of the K900 compared to its European counterparts — and that price includes the 10-year powertrain warranty.

"The [K900] also looks right at home when parked next to the latest Euro-luxury crop," Robb Report said.

A 5.0-liter V8 and its 420 HP powers the RWD Kia K900. This engine is mated with a smooth 8-speed transmission. The car’s finish is about the same as that of luxury European models, and the ranking among Robb Report’s top cars of the year show that KIA is now a formidable brand in the luxury segment.

Jim Butler KIA in Chesterfield Valley is your exclusive home in St. Louis for the K900. Come see for yourself why this flagship sedan is turning heads and turning people toward KIA from high-profile luxury brands!
