Even though the Kia Cadenza has selectable drive modes that includes a Sport setting, (plus steering-wheel-mounted gearshift paddles in the top trim), don’t labor under the illusion that this large and luxurious sedan will suddenly transform into a BMW rival. Sport mode is great for limiting body lean should a driver take a route that includes tight and twisting roads. The new Cadenza’s real strength is its suppleness. Rough surfaces seem to be smoothed out just before the car reaches them. A 3.3-liter V6 endows the Cadenza with 290 horsepower, which is sufficiently brisk, while an 8-speed automatic transmission keeps things relaxed on freeway cruises. The electrically assisted steering provides a pleasing straight-ahead feel on the highway, with a welcome extra weight (although not much feedback) through corners.
ENORMOUS BACK SEAT Take two adults of imposing size and put them in the Cadenza’s rear quarters. They’ll be purring contentedly in no time. There’s plenty of space in all directions and even the optional panoramic sunroof doesn’t encroach on headroom too much. HARMAN KARDON AUDIO In a cabin this quiet, a high-end audio system makes all the more sense. Harman Kardon supplies many premium marques with its excellent products. The 12-speaker/630-watt system in the 2019 Cadenza employs Clari-Fi technology to deliver sparkling highs, rich lows and an even mid-range.
There’s a fine logic to the Kia Cadenza’s layout. A split-level design places important gauges and screens above the physical switches and knobs used to control them. Both occupants up front have multi-adjustable seats, making a refreshing change from cars that treat the person riding shotgun like a second-class citizen (although power lumbar support for the front passenger is only available in the top trim). The true jewel in the Cadenza’s cabin, though, is its rear seat. Even tall passengers should be happy back there with 37 inches of legroom. Trunk space is 16 cubic feet, enough for four golf bags.
Cool details meld to form a bigger picture that should be easy on most people’s eyes. At each end are Z-shaped LED accent lights, connected by a subtle crease running along each shoulder. The “tiger nose” (that’s what Kia calls it) grille is concave, an uncommon feature, and comes with a mesh pattern or a “waterfall” (that’s what we call it) design, depending on the trim level. The combined effect is not too busy, not too minimal, but just right. And, crucially, classy enough for the Kia Cadenza sedan to be a credible alternative to luxury and semi-luxury marques like Lincoln and Buick.
As mentioned, the 2019 Cadenza gains more standard equipment for its Premium trim. In addition to those features listed above, the inventory includes 18-inch alloy wheels, hands-free/proximity-activated trunk lid, heated side mirrors, acoustic windshield, rear parking sensors, keyless entry/ignition, leather seating surfaces, leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, 8-way power-adjustable front-passenger seat, nine airbags, dual-zone automatic climate control, self-dimming rearview mirror, 7-inch infotainment touch screen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, Bluetooth, and a USB port. Conspicuous by its absence is forward-collision mitigation.
Buyers of the Premium model can stretch to the optional LED map reading light. Otherwise, the main choices regarding the 2019 Cadenza is which trim to buy. Technology is a smarter purchase than Premium. It includes forward-collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control with stop/go, automatic high beams, 19-inch alloy wheels, electronic parking brake, 8-inch touch screen, heated steering wheel, and all the newly standard features mentioned above. Limited trim adds rain-sensing/de-icing wipers, power-adjustable steering column, quilted Nappa leather upholstery, power rear sunshade, 14-way/10-way power-adjustable front seats with memory settings, heated rear outboard seats, head-up display, and a 360-degree camera system.
No choices here, just a 3.3-liter V6, an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The engine develops a respectable 290 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque, running on regular gasoline. The transmission shifts smoothly and the paddles (in Limited trim) work fine, but most Cadenza drivers will probably put it in D and consider that the extent of their involvement. 3.3-liter V6 290 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm 253 lb-ft of torque @ 5,200 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/27 mpg
The 2019 Kia Cadenza Premium has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $ 32,900. A $ 900 destination charge puts that up to $ 33,800. Technology trim is priced at $ 38,890; Limited trim is $ 44,800. The Nissan Maxima starts around $ 35,000, the Toyota Avalon at roughly $ 36,500. Domestic rivals like the Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Impala, Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ford Taurus are all less expensive, but they don’t have comparable amounts of standard equipment or Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile warranty. And, in Limited trim, the Cadenza goes more upscale. Check the Fair Purchase Price calculator to see what others in your area paid for their new Cadenza sedan. Resale values are anticipated to be on the low side, falling short of the Dodge Charger and Chevy Impala, and well off those of the Toyota Avalon.OK, so what's next?I'm interested in the newest version of this car. What's for sale near me?I'm interested in this car, and I'd like to trade in my current car while I'm at it.Then again, maybe I should be thinking about a used car.
Kia sounds surprisingly playful for a car manufacturer's name and as the brand's tag line reads, they really are all about the power to surprise. In fact, the Korean car builder has done so from its very inception in 1944 when it began as a steel tubing and bicycle parts producer. Six years later, Kia would reveal Korea's first bike.
Once the first step was made, Kia rushed through the process of developing light means of transport, such as scooters and fast forwarded through motorcycle building upon the point of reaching the necessary resources and experience to start building cars. The whole conversion process took Kia about two and a half decades to complete.
Bigger, richer and propelled by the enthrallment of having their own car brand, Kia poured a considerable amount of cash into a plant to accommodate its assembly lines. By 1973, the new facility at Sohari saw completion, becoming Korea's first of its kind. Fully integrated and equipped with the latest cutting, bolting and welding machinery, the plant ulteriorly became the womb in which Kore's first internal-combustion gasoline engine would develop. The first Kia built car was unveiled one year later, a medium passenger car named Brisa.
Kia's sounding debut and modern technology caught the eye of different foreign producers(e.g. Peugeot and Fiat) with whom it partnered to house production of some of their models such as Peugeot's 604 and Fiat's 132.
By the 80's Kia had expanded to almost the size of its main competitor, Hyundai who was still the no. 1 Korean producer. Some of Kia's newer models at the time were rebadged and marketed abroad such as the Pride which sold overseas as the Ford Festiva. Only a few years later, Ford would manifest interest in the Avella, a subcompact car available in a 5-door hatchback version and a 4-dour sedan powered by either a 1.3 or a 1.5 liter engine. The Avella was rebadged as the Ford Aspire on the North American market.
The Korean manufacturer had not yet reached US shores on its own but it was only a few strokes away. In 1992, the brand was incorporated into the US and timidly started business through a tiny four-dealership network that sold its first vehicles in 1994. Ever since, Kia has been methodically expanding, reaching every state except north Dakota.
The main selling point of Kia cars was its affordability which was later supplemented by Kia's expansion into other market segments through the introduction of their first sport utility vehicle in 1995, the Sportage. From that point on, Kia suffered a fate very similar to that of Hyundai, company it would later blend into due to unsuccessful management of financial difficulties.
Trouble began in the late '90 when the company became stagnant and thus unable to rollout new models. That's when Hyundai came into play. The major Korean car-builder got rid of competition by means of merger. Both companies have experienced trouble and low sales due to reliability complaints over their vehicles.
The somewhat bland styling was not exactly what buyers were looking for in a car either so both had to undergo costly restructuring stages. Kia found itself rejuvenated by 2001 when, following its owner's example, it started working on a new vehicle line-up with an emphasis on quality and long-warranty offerings. Ever since, Kia has been steadily conquering segments of the European market, especially through the Cee'd, Sorento and Rio models. The development of newer, bolder designs is also among Kia's priorities, predating a future line-up with the announcement of concepts such as the Soul, unveiled at the Montreal auto show in 2006 and the Kee, a fresh coupe boasting strongly appealing style elements.
