A true head turner, the Kia K8’s fastback-type silhouette is a sight to behold. Its sleek side character lines not only convey a beautiful design but also offers a glimpse into a new lifestyle, perfectly suited for our journey through the UAE.
The Y-shaped LED rear combination lamp adds a touch of luxury to the Kia K8’s exterior, creating a defined and eye-catching look as we cruise through the UAE’s iconic streets.
Inside the Kia K8, we are welcomed by a 12.3-inch panoramic curved display in natural wood grain. It exudes sophistication and complements the car’s unique sensibility.

Safety is paramount on our UAE adventure and the Kia K8’s advanced safety features, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA), Lane Following Assist (LFA), Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA), and Safe Exit Assist (SEA), kept us travelers secure at all times.
