Review: 2014 Kia Cadenza

Competing automakers — particularly Honda and Toyota — have been watching sibling brands Hyundai and Kia gain ground the past few years. The South Korean companies have consistently produced stylish cars while maintaining value pricing along with their 10-year/100,000-mile warranty strategy. Now Kia's rivals have another vehicle to watch out for in their rearview mirror: the all-new 2014 Cadenza.

The Kia Cadenza's sleek sheet metal and abundant bells and whistles show just how far Kia has come from its modest beginnings, when it first entered the U.S. auto market in 1994 with the compact Sephia. In 2012, the brand achieved its 18th consecutive year of market gains in the U.S. and also its best-ever annual sales total, thanks in part to the popular Optima.

With the Cadenza, Kia set its sights on the premium sedan segment to challenge top-of-the-line (but not quite luxury) 4-doors such as the Toyota Avalon and Chevrolet Impala. And with an eye-catching exterior, luxurious interior and technology that rivals cars costing twice as much, the 2014 Kia Cadenza should have competitors worried — and car buyers in the segment giving the sedan serious consideration.

Model lineup

The Cadenza comes in one well-equipped trim level with a base price of $35,100. This gets the buyer a V6 engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, leather power seats, keyless entry with push-button start, a back-up camera, Bluetooth connectivity, a 12-speaker Infinity stereo and a navigation system with SiriusXM Traffic.
Two option packages are offered on the Cadenza. The Luxury package bumps the price up to $38,100 and adds a full-length panoramic sunroof with power retractable sunshade, HID headlamps with adaptive front lighting, a 7-inch LCD instrument cluster and a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column with a heated steering wheel. The package also includes Nappa leather seats, a memory-enabled 12-way ventilated driver's seat, heated rear seats and a power rear sunshade.

Pop for the Technology package at $41,100 and you get everything from the Luxury package, plus lane-departure warning, advanced cruise control that maintains a specified distance from the vehicle ahead, and blind-spot detection with lane-change assist to alert drivers to vehicles in their blind spots as well as fast-approaching vehicles. The package also comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, an electronic parking brake and water-repellant "hydrophobic" front side windows.
