The new K8 features enhanced overall product value by making the most popular convenience and safety features standard, while also improving price competitiveness. For the top-tier Signature trim, Kia has included a head-up display as standard to help reduce driver distraction while driving, thereby increasing both safety and convenience.

The Noblesse and Best Selection trims have been equipped with expanded advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features. The Noblesse trim now comes standard with Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2), navigation-based smart cruise control, and rear occupant alert. The Best Selection trim includes standard features such as blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, and safe exit assist.

The sales prices for the 2027 K8 2.5 gasoline model are as follows: Noblesse Light at 36.79 million won, Best Selection at 38.31 million won, Noblesse at 40.85 million won, Signature at 44.4 million won, and Signature Black at 45.95 million won. For the 1.6 Turbo Hybrid, prices are set at 42.06 million won for Noblesse Light, 43.57 million won for Best Selection, 46.11 million won for Noblesse, 49.66 million won for Signature, and 51.02 million won for Signature Black.

To commemorate the launch, Kia is running the 'Smart Owner Purchase Program.' Customers who sign a contract by May 31, 2026, and take delivery within June will receive an additional 300,000 Kia Members points. In preparation for the end of the individual consumption tax reduction benefit, customers who do not receive their vehicle by the end of June will be compensated with 700,000 won. Additionally, Kia will offer interest rates as low as 2.9% and guarantee up to 70% of the used car residual value for customers who repurchase a new Kia vehicle.

Last year, hybrid models accounted for approximately 62% of all K8 sales, with a combined fuel efficiency of 18.1 km/l. A Kia representative stated, "The 2027 K8 is a model that has been further enhanced in competitiveness, focusing on premium value that customers can actually experience," adding, "It will deliver even higher satisfaction to customers in the mid-to-large sedan market."
