My Cadenza - a symphony of motion

Drive it. Then drive an Avalon, a Regal, a Maxima, a Chrysler 300 and an Accord. The Kia Cadenza is the best ride - quiet, smooth, powerful and comfortable. The price is competitive too.

Just purchased my 2nd Cadenza Limited. This is my 7th Kia since 2001. This is the perfect car for price, warranty, options. You will pay a great deal more for same options on BMW, Lexus. Mercedes-Benz. Don't waste your money for the name and prestige of such. Test drive this car. You will purchase. Get the SX Limited. Excellent road car. Burn only premium fuel and you will get 30+ mpg on road trips. Over 500 miles on one tank of gas. Check out the 2017 Limited. Many added features and actually a slightly lower price. You just will not go wrong with any Kia but particularly with the Cadenza Limited. Test to drive it, you will buy it. It is now October 2018 and I am still loving my 2015 Kia Cadenza SXL.

II purchased my Cadenza Sept 2014. Overall, I'm very happy with my selection. I was certainly torn between choosing the Cadenza over the Chevy Impala. They were identical in terms of what I wanted in a fully loaded full size sedan, however the Cadenza had just more of that "it" factor I was looking for. There is no way possible I could get this much standard luxury at the price I paid in a BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, Audi, etc.

A great car and value

I purchased a Factory Certified 2015 Cadenza Limited. So far I have really enjoyed the car and received many compliments on it. I would say my only slightly negative comment is that I was surprised that the car does not have daytime running lights. I didnt even think to ask because they are so prevalent on cars and most all other Kia's seem to have them. Otherwise, I would certainly recommend this car to anyone especially as a used purchase as they are a great value.

I really love this car. I just bought it a little more than a month ago. I have the Limited SXL. This car is loaded. I had a Hyundai Azera before but this Cadenza is definitely an upscale version. I love the way it drives, really comfortable. You don't see too many Cadenzas on the road, so it makes appreciate this one even more.
