Just noticed that the car is sitting a little too high for my tastes. Current generation is perfect in my opinion, but based on these pictures, I'd want to drop it. Although, the drop in the real life pics in the other thread look great.
More shots of the vehicle are surfacing on the web as it begins to roll out in South Korea. I didn't notice it until now, but the chrome strip above the grille continues on and goes underneath the headlights. Not a fan of how it stands out on the black model. Also prefer a grille that's more in line with the rest of the line-up. Other than that, looking good!
Looks amazing... I wouldn't have thought they'd change the grille so drastically, its interesting, need to see in person though.
rear lights are PERFECt for my tastes, not so much on the headlights but I see what they're going for in terms of the overall appeal of the front end / grille area.
Thanks for posting the videos. I like everything except the inverted grille. It looks too Buick for my tastes. It is a nice evolution of the Cadenza though.
What's up with them taking away the paddle shifters though? No more sport mode on our cars? I love my paddles, don't use them much, but love them a ton when I do. I wonder how much more this car will start off at though :/ and If you can only get the HUD on the top of the line model (and how much more that will be). I hope they don't start pricing themselves out of a segment. I know they want to be truly premium cars but they just really aren't yet. They need to help seed the market before they just up the prices too much.
The '16s have been out for a bit it looks like, though I believe it is 1 of the later cars they refresh since it is such a low volume car. The Optima, Soul, and Rio I think are the first. This is the only vehicle I've seen being redesigned though like this and in such a large striking way.
Looks like they grabbed the Kia press release (above). Reads identical.
