Stylish, sleek and fun to drive. Yes, it's a KIA!

One things that still blows my mind is that I can be comfortable driving the car and still have rear room for passengers! Has more leg room in front and rear then I thought it would. Although the rear seats don't fold down, it does have what they call a ski access hole. I wish it was AWD, but I know how to drive FWD in the winter months. It came with Michelin tires from factory, so that definitely helps with a good set of tires. I am leasing with intent to purchase out in the end. I love the way the car looks and performs! I love that it has a V6 engine. Overall, I am definitely impressed with how the car looks, performs and of course the quality of the vehicle. KIA definitely is on the right track.

I've owned 3 lexus suv's and 1 sedan. The kia cadenza is very equal if not better then lexus. I'm very impressed with kia. Style, luxury, handling,pricing. Couldn't be more happier with my decision. As the old saying goes. Try it you may like it. Vinnie. New Jersey.

Drive the limited trim first. Get to know the outstanding array of safety, comfort, and convenience features. And, by all means, spend some time with the Harmon Kardon audio system.

Great car and even a greater deal

I bought this 2017 Cadenza in March of 2018. I think Kia made too many of them, and a lot of them ended up unsold in Florida. The car had an MSRP just under 40K and the lease payment was $325 plus tax for the Technology version. This is an astounding price for a very competent car. Warning: this was the perfect storm: too many not so popular cars and 4 months after the new model year (unchanged) was introduced. My advice is to have three or four different cars on your radar, and be flexible. Sometimes manufacturers and dealers combine to lose money just to move the older cars off the lot, and that's what happened here.
