Beats The Competition
More standard equipment than many of its competitors.
Superb infotainment controls and layout.
It looks and feels premium despite the bargin badge.
Our Take
It's a luxurious large sedan without the luxury price tag.
The interior is spacious and comfortable, and the car offers good power, steering, and handling for its price.
The Cadenza is a prime example of how Kia is making excellent cars that get overlooked far too often.
