Interior

Why would you buy a KPS K10 over any other full-sized luxury car in its class? There are three main reasons - and all of them are very convincing, as the latest road tests have shown.

  • More brawn than Mitch Buchannon - Under the hood you’ll find a 4.5L 32-valve V8 delivering 276 bhp and 275 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via an electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transmission and a viscous LSD. This powertrain combination yields an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph and a 0-60 time of just 7.4 seconds - perfectly adequate for cutting through dense urban traffic, and with the smooth torque curve, especially well-suited to long-distance interstate cruising. Of course, you can order bigger, more powerful engines if you wish, at extra cost (both up front and at the pump), although the trade-off is significantly improved acceleration.

  • More brains than Stephanie Holden - The K10 comes with all the latest safety and convenience features as standard. Self-leveling air suspension with adaptive dampers gives surprisingly good handling for its size, as well as a smooth ride over any kind of road with the standard 16-inch or optional 17-inch wheels. Traction control and 4-wheel vented disc brakes with ABS make avoidance maneuvers easier than ever, while dual airbags keep you safe in case things go wrong. The K10 is also built to last - its bodyshell is made mostly of corrosion-resistant steel, with some strategically placed aluminum panels to save weight, so you will never, ever have to worry about rust taking hold anywhere on the body or chassis.

  • More beauty than C. J. Parker - All this power and tech is wrapped in a sleek, understated 4-door body that exudes a refined elegance from every angle. 16 exterior and 8 interior colors are available, with an option for a two-tone interior finish. Speaking of the interior, we only use the finest materials, with 5 seats trimmed in genuine leather, plus genuine wood and/or aluminum trim. A high-end sound system with 6 speakers, CD player and tape deck keeps all the occupants entertained on the move, while power-adjustable seats and climate-controlled air conditioning help you feel comfortable even on the hottest summer days. On top of that, there’s enough trunk space for a long road trip with up to four other occupants.

The KPS K10 lineup starts at $48,900 for the V8 4.5 model shown. Will you be ready? Our most loyal customers definitely are.
