I'm no Kia expert but from my research and talking to dealerships..Kia had an identity crisis with this car. First it came out with just the Kia and two packages you could add to it - luxury and tech. They all came with those thin slit rims. Then a few months in, they decided to make 2 versions of the cadenze and call one Premium and one limited. You can add the luxury package to the Premium one and the Limited already comes with the luxury features. The Limited also contains ventilated seats, HID's and blind spot, plus advanced cruise control - stuff that you cannot get on the Premium. Also they came out with a different rim for the Premium, and a chromed one for the limited. You can not longer get the thin slit rims on any of the cadenzas made in the second half of production. Regarding your SXL - I don't even know where that comes into play. that's just all the research i've done. Someone can correct a lot of the stuff I said - i think I'm right, and no one was really helping you much so I thought I'd try. best of luck in your hunt. I'm on the fence about buying one myself.
I think you got it right on.
Yup, pissed about this ****. Mean's my "fully loaded" doesn't have **** in it, yet I paid the same price as someone who did. Plus my service department blows fat donkey balls, can't wait to find something I want enough to unload this thing. Good for the new buyers, horrible for the OG's.
Ok!!! Thanks this clears up my question. So, I have seen Cadenzas on the lot with a build date of March and May 2013. Would this be before the model identity change? You thoughts please.
Best way to tell is looking at the features. If it has 19" chrome wheels, passenger side ventilated seat, LED foglights, and SXL badging, it's the revamped version.
Yes.
