2020 Kia Cadenza
The Cadenza is Kia's offering in the premium near-luxury sedan segment. Attractive styling, elegant interior styling, and pricing aim to catch the eye of every driver. The engine at the heart of the Cadenza is a 3.3L V6 engine making 290 horsepower, sent to the front wheels. Power is transferred to the wheels through an 8-speed automatic gearbox, promising quick, precise shifts and excellent fuel economy. Despite being a large car with a relatively big engine, the Cadenza is rated at 20 mpg in the city. The Cadenza is available in two trim levels: Technology and Limited. Standard items on the Cadenza include a 12.3-inch touch screen to control the stereo, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto services, a rear camera display, Bluetooth connectivity and dual-zone automatic climate control. Seating surfaces are leather, and the driver gets a 10-way power adjustable seat while the front passenger seat is 8-way power adjustable. Both seats are heated, and the interior comes trimmed in elegant wood grain. Outside, the Cadenza comes with heated mirrors, and 18-inch wheels. Safety features across the lineup include rear parking sensors, an active lane departure system, active blind spot warning, forward and rear collision mitigation, pedestrian detection, and a driver attention alert. The Kia Cadenza returns for 2020 mostly unchanged, the premium trim has been discontinued and the exterior gets a refreshed design.
