The Cadenza is available in Technology and Limited trim. Both are powered by the same naturally aspirated 3.3-liter V6 engine producing 290 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Safety is a highlight, as both models are equipped with forward collision warning, forward collision avoidance with pedestrian/cyclist detection, smart cruise control with stop & go, high beam assist, lane following assist, blind-spot collision avoidance, lane change assist, highway driving assist, navigation-based smart cruise control, and safe exit assist.
Standard specification includes LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, leather seats, power-adjustable front seats with heating function, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, and a 12.3-inch infotainment system with navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
The Limited trim comes with 19-inch alloys, ventilated front seats and heated rear outboard seats, a heated steering wheel, Nappa quilted leather upholstery, a surround-view camera, and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.
Kia doesn't do optional packages. If there's a top-spec feature you want, you have to opt for the top-spec model. The only options available are a host of standalone features like a cargo net ($50), a cargo tray for $80, and mudguards for $115.
