A Sedan That Misses the Mark on Refinement

Name: A Sedan That Misses the Mark on Refinement

3/5 Good 8 views

The attempt of luxury feels misplaced in the great landscape of the car market. Having a powerful V6 engine there is a lack of refinement in the driving experience at this level. The interior is precious but doesn't match the grandeur promised by the exterior of the car. Also having the electrical controlled suspension sometimes doesn't compensate for the shortcoming in the road. Also the surround sound system as promised by the company is not that great which can be seen in other cars in the segment. Overall, for a few drivers, the K8 might not live up to the expectations.

Economy vs. Performance Dilemma
The hybrid has issues in several areas which question its hybrid potential. Driving experience sometimes feels little legging behind on highways. The interior is spacious but is not as luxurious as the company claims. The infotainment system is sometimes less intuitive to use.... Read More
