Looks the same as the 2014 on the KIA website except for the plain jane fender vents. Gonna look like every other car around here with stick on fender vents.

Howdy,
I do not think the prior post worked.
Here are some quick fresh snaps from the dealership.

I see that they added side vents to the fender, and (new?) rims, and possibly a new honeycomb design grille? Please let us know if the headlights have DRL in them (not the white plastic piece)

I think the rims are the same as the 2014 SXL rims. I really wouldnt mind that front facing camera tho~!

Howdy,
The 360 camera stuff is really neat. Yes, you have it come on when you back up, but you also have a button to turn it on. You also can select a viewing style (forward as main and all the others, or front left as main and all others, or left rear and all others... and onward.
This is the full 2015 Cadenza Limited. I noticed a lot of early ones (first 2 months of production were made and then did not have all the stuff, and they had a -Limited Deletion Package -$1,000

Ya, that birds eye view camera looks cool. But did they change the interior where the door handle is too? looks higher and incorporated into the wood.

I love the 360 degree camera on the K900 too. Just sucks you can't keep it on after going a certain speed. It shuts off automatically.

Howdy,
I am sorry to say, it does not have DRL.
I have a 2013 Optima SXL which has DRL. The steering column stick even names it as such. Why would a function such as DRL not make it onto newer cars?

and.... the best looking DRL's are the ones on the 13 optima sxl. Later models just look like a aftermarket hack.
