Kia has always been known as a budget brand in the US, but with excellent value for money and ever increasing build quality, that image steadily changed. The Optima sedan has served them well over the years, but now there's a new flagship sedan in town.
The all-new 2014 Kia Cadenza is 4,965mm (195.5 inches) of luxury for not a lot of money. Official pricing has just been announced at $35,100 plus $800 destination charge(MSRP). That might sound like BMW 3 Series money, but then you do get a whole lot of equipment.
The car comes standard with keyless entry, advanced navigation system with SiriusXM Traffic and UVO eServices,Bluetooth wireless technology,an eight-inch touch screen, 550-watt Infinity 12-speaker audio system, Rear Camera Display and leather-trimmed seats with heat and power adjustment in the front.
For $38,100 you can have the Cadenza Luxury, which adds a full-length panoramic sunroof and power retractable sunshade, Nappa leather trim with heated rear outboard seats and ventilated 12-way adjustable driver seat, HID headlamps with adaptive front lighting system (AFLS), a seven-inch LCD instrument cluster for superb clarity and customization, a heated steering wheel with power tilt and telescoping capabilities, and two-position memory setting for driver’s seat, outside mirrors, and steering column.
Finally, there's the $41,100 Cadenza Technology, which has all of the above, plus 19-inch alloy wheels, an electronic parking brake, Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC), a Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) and Kia’s first-ever Lane Departure Warning System.
No matter which version you go for, the car will have a 3.3-liter V6 with 293 hp mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox.
