2015 Kia Cadenza Review

Have you ever driven a "non-luxury" car that has an extendable driver's side thigh booster? It raises the taller driver's legs just enough that the reach to the pedals won't feel cramped. That's pretty luxurious. You can also opt for ventilated/heated front seats, heated rear seats, panoramic roof.

Yes, the options are great, but your eyes will pop when you see the 2015 Kia Cadenza Premium's standard features. Grey leather-trimmed seats and leather-wrapped, wood-style steering wheel with a leather gearshift knob are standard. 

Several other luxury-like standard options include: 

• Surround sound audio system w/12 speakers, external amplifier, sub-woofer, HD Radio TM
• Voice-command navigation w/8" display
• Sirius Radio and XM Traffic
• UVO eServices
  
• Rear camera display
• Back-up warning system
• Blind-spot detection, lane departure warning
• Bluetooth, steering wheel-mounted audio, cruise control, hands-free phone buttons
• Supervision meter cluster w/color LCD display
• Smart key push-button starter
• Center console
• Front 12-volt power outlets
• Wood interior accents
  
  

Exterior

• Heated power-folding power mirrors w/LED turn signal indicators
• Projection headlights w/auto leveling, LED positioning lights, perimeter approach lighting
• Fuel door lock
• 18" alloy wheels
  
  

Performance

Because of its superior aerodynamics and noise blanketing, the ride is one of the best things about this car. The 2015 Kia Cadenza has a confident, sporty feel, and even with its 3.3-liter V-6 has a quicker-than-average response to acceleration. But unlike a sports car, the Cadenza is all about luxurious comfort. You won't "feel" the road, and because it's a lightweight (3,668 lbs.), parking maneuverability is a breeze. And you can put six-footers in the back seat, because legroom is generous. 

Standard performance options include:

• Electronically controlled 6-Speed automatic overdrive w/ Sportmatic™ dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT)
• Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI)
• 18.5mpg fuel capacity, EPA mpg 19/28/22
• 4-wheel disc w/Antilock Braking System (ABS)
• MacPherson struts, gas shock absorbers, stabilizer bar
• Independent rear suspension w/multi-link, stabilizer bar, dual-flow damper shock absorbents
  
  

Safety

The Cadenza has eight standard airbags, a rear camera system and backup warning sensors. Kia doesn't scrimp when it comes to safety features. At this time, there are no optional features on the Premium model because they don't want safety to be an option.
