Perhaps Kia builds a better Buick, which is why we see the Buick LaCrosse as the K900’s stiffest competition.
Both offer relatively simple takes on a wafty luxury sedan without a sharp edge.
The only edge we see? The Buick now sports a mild-hybrid system that propels it toward better fuel economy.
The Genesis G80 shares a V-8 with the K900, and that’s about it.
The G80 is a little curvier and offers a potent turbo-6 that works better than the K900’s mill.
The Cadillac CT6 is a little more refined and upscale, and includes active safety features that the K900 skips.
The Acura RLX is more expensive, but has a better handle and a hybrid version that the K900 doesn’t.
