Stylish Quality Limited Cadenza

2017 Kia Cadenza Limited 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl 8A)

This limited trim is a classy design for both exterior and interior. The quality is obvious when you look inside and sit. The Black exterior always draws compliments since the day I bought it over 4 years ago. It is best for long drives or cargo (it actually is wide and big in the back. but no folding rear seats for the trunk--too bad. Also it does steer like a full size sedan and not easy to see all around. But it has all the sensors and more. Especially I like the Heads up view of the speed on the front windshield. The posted speed limits also show next to it. The sound system has a digital sound enhancement that really works well. It has everything the Audi and Mercedes have and more.

Far less than expected

2017 Kia Cadenza Limited 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl 8A)

I've had my 2017 Cadenza for almost two years. Good engine, transmission, and loaded with most luxury-car level features. Nicely styled and lovely leather. As it has aged, though, the pano sunroof regularly rattles loudly, the infotainment system has several gremlins, ride is meh, poor choice of tires for winter weather driving which creates fear. I leased it because Consumer Reports gave it a very high (80+) rating which has plummeted into the low 60's. Nope. Not again. Done with sedans and Kia. Waiting patiently to turn it in at the end of the lease. Depreciation is horrendous so I'm stuck until September, 2020.

This 202 Kia Cadenza (my second one) is the most comfortable driving and dependable sedan on the road today, for the money! You won't be disappointed with purchasing the vehicle. : ) Regards, Al Bretz

A LOT OF CAR FOR THE MONEY

The 2018 Cadenza has every you could want in a car, as far as style, technolagy, and comfort. The only complaint i have is the slow responce on the computer, and it is not that user friendly. There are too many steps between different functions and almost imposible to do while driving.
