Kia K9 Price in India 2026

Hello Car Lovers! Today, we’re discussing the Kia K9, Kia’s top luxury sedan. It has stirred interest among premium car buyers. As of January 2026, the K9 is not officially launched in India. It remains a popular full-size luxury sedan in markets like South Korea, where it’s known as the K9. In India, Kia mainly focuses on SUVs, MPVs, and electric vehicles like the EV9, Seltos, and Carnival.

Many enthusiasts speculate about its potential entry to compete with the Toyota Camry, Skoda Superb, and entry-level German luxury sedans. However, Kia India has not confirmed a 2026 launch. Some reports hint at a starting price of around ₹37-50 lakh (ex-showroom), but this is based on older rumors.

The K9 promises a premium driving experience with powerful V6 engines, luxurious interiors, and advanced tech. This makes it a strong contender in the global executive sedan market. For now, Indian buyers must stick with established luxury options. If Kia brings the K9, it could shake up the market with its value, bold design, and feature-packed cabin. Stay tuned for updates!
