Despite the next-gen K7 (codenamed as GL3) will arrive early next year, premiering the new Kia logo as you already know, Kia decided to launch the 2021 K7 in order to keep it fresh for a few more months and added a ‘custom grille’ with a pattern shaped like the wing of an aircraft by repeatedly applying a pattern that resembles an aircraft wing based on its signature intaglio (engraved) radiator grille.

Two new exterior colors, Steel Gray and Interstellar Gray, were applied to enhance the sense of quality. In addition, customer-friendly features such as electronic parking brake (EPB), electronic shifting lever (SBW), paddle shift, and high-performance air cleaning filter are applied to gasoline and hybrid models as standard to enhance marketability.

Kia Motors also improved Noise-Vibration-Harshness (NVH) by increasing the thickness of the rear glass and the sound-absorbing area of ​​the driver’s wheel guards to enhance the comfortable ride and driving performance of the 2021 K7.
