Used 2018 Kia Cadenza Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2018 Kia Cadenza is a large sedan that offers an abundance of room for all its occupants. Even in its base Premium form, the Cadenza is well-equipped for what we think is a very reasonable price. Its available Luxury package is incorporated into the Technology trim, along with a few other desirable additions. And the top-trim Limited just might fool your passengers into thinking they're riding in a Lexus. There's one powertrain available: a 3.3-liter V6 (290 horsepower, 253 pound-feet of torque) that's matched to an eight-speed automatic and front-wheel drive.
Which Cadenza trim does Edmunds recommend?
The Kia Cadenza is at its best when you leverage its comfort and convenience attributes, so to that end we say skip the base model and head straight to the Technology trim. Doing so gets you additional lumbar support for front-seat occupants, ventilated seats plus LED exterior lighting. The Limited trim's power rear sunshade and beautiful diamond-pattern leather seats are nice, but it comes at a steep price relative to the Technology trim.
