The Kia K9, marketed as the Kia K900 in the United States and Canada and as the Kia Quoris in other export markets, is a full-size[1][2] luxury sedan manufactured and marketed by Kia, now in its second generation.
The K9 was launched in South Korea in May 2012, with export sales beginning in late 2012. As of June 2013, it was sold in South Korea, the Middle East, Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, Peru, Russia,[3] the United States, and Canada. There are plans to release it in China, although Kia will not use the Quoris nameplate after it lost a legal battle.[4] The K900 was discontinued in Canada by 2018, and the United States in January 2021.
The second generation K9 was launched in 2018.
