2017 Kia Cadenza

Kia has always been associated with things like affordable, safe, good value.  None of that has changed.  But a few words have been added recently.  The biggest one is Luxury.  Still much better priced and equipped than any direct competitor to their luxury line, they have begun to impress even the toughest critics.  What do we need to know about the new Cadenza?

It has a very athletic, muscular appearance, yet also very elegant.  Like designer Ray Ng said at the introduction, “it is a clean design with minimal adornment.”  As a result, it has crisp lines, and sheet metal that fills out its form.   If you’re looking for a comfortable daily driver that makes a terrific highway companion, look no further. Kia’s investment in noise/vibration/harshness has paid off handsomely. The ride is quiet and comfy. The steering is intuitive and feels natural, the brakes are even-handed, and the acceleration is predictable.

Inside, there’s wireless phone charging, ample beverage storage space, plenty of room for five adults, a heated steering wheel, and heated seats that will — finally — gradually reduce power as the heat builds under your rump. At 107.8 cubic feet, the new Cadenza has one of the largest cabins in its segment. It feels like it too; my 6-foot-2 frame fit in almost any seat with ease, and although the sloping roofline limits some headspace in the back, it’s still more generous than some cars two or three times the price. Fortunately, it doesn’t feel so big when you’re driving it.
