Like first class on an airplane… Kia unveils K8 interior design

Kia inspired by first class airport lounges

Comfort and luxury applied to indoor spaces

Kia unveiled the interior design of the K8 on the 4th. Kia explained that it was inspired by the first-class airport lounge and applied an interior space with a sense of comfort and luxury to the K8.

Most impressive is the’Panoramic Curved Display’ that Kia first applied to the K8. The panoramic curved display, consisting of two 12.3-inch curved displays, smoothly connects the dashboard and infotainment system to create a concise and future-oriented image. In addition, the open design without the top cover and the curvature optimized for the driver’s seat minimizes the driver’s gaze movement to help safe driving.

The excellent field of view and the sense of openness to the interior are also the hallmarks of the K8. Kia lowered the dashboard height of the K8 by about 20 mm and optimized the left and right A-pillar angles and the size of the room mirror module. In addition, the junction of the outside mirror is lowered from the window to the door, and a triangular window (delta glass) is added in its place to provide the driver with an open view.

The wood grain decoration with a luxurious solid wood feel, which started from the driver’s door, continues as if wrapping the first row through the front part to the passenger door. Adds a visual effect.

The wood grain, metal, and leather materials used throughout the interior, such as the center fascia, center console, and door trim, harmonize with each other, creating a comfortable atmosphere felt from well-made furniture.

In addition, △Nappa leather quilted seats that provide a comfortable seating feeling △Meridian premium sound system (14 speakers) applied for the first time in Kia △The interior of the K8 is luxuriously configured with a steering wheel that combines two colors and applies the new Kia emblem made of aluminum. did.
