Here are a few of the Kia K9 clips just released an hour ago. The one directly below this text is the one that makes the car look best. Great sound design on these first three clips. Why cant HMG put these kinds of sounds into their cars?

This clip above is the best executed.

The “Quantum” badging is Kia’s version of “Platinum.” That’s the giveaway that the car has the 5.0L V8. There are also AWD badges on the side of the car which is a big hint that the two will be paired (for North America).

Maurice Lacroix designed analog clock and the customizable Pantone interior light palette.

There are some other clips but I’m waiting for more informative ones to drop such as that clock and lighting clip above.

*It should be noted that Kia appears to be marketing a mashup between a North American market and a Korean market car. There are some odd details such as wearing Kia badges as well as the Quantum badging and while othering no displacement emblems. But whatever, definitely looks like a comfort focused sedan. Kinda what I would have expected the Lincoln Continental to look like if the new Navigator came out first.

Kia has been through such a renaissance in the past few years why on Earth won’t they shed that emblem and adopt the KDM badge or a new one? Every time is see that KIA badge all I can think of is

And not

You know what would be more impressive than a tiny analog clock made by LeFancy Pants watchmaker? Buttons and switches that don’t like their from an early 2000 lexus.

Not saying they are bad buttons. More to the point that the clock is a waste, where they could have made aluminum buttons for a much more dramatic effect.

I think Asian markets really like analogue clocks in their luxury cars.

I remember reading something about Mercedes moving to in-dash clocks only because of demand from China.
