Kia Cadenza: Cheap - but not for us

Kia and sister brand Hyundai has huge ambitions - and underpins these with models that really starts to get troublesome for competition.

It's all about design, quality feel and especially luxury and equipment at prices that will be below what most others offer.

Debuted in Detroit

The model range has been greatly expanded in recent years. Great car Cadenza is a success for Kia in several markets - now comes in new and upgraded edition, while it launches in the U.S. for the first time.

Face Lift on Cadenza debut as also at the Detroit Motor Show early this year, it shows how important this market is for Kia.

Great car Cadenza has been revamped and now debuts as a 2013 model. .

Successful designer

The most striking is that it has got the new sporty Kia grille. Cadenza is a big car (almost metres feet long) and the design makes no attempt to curb it.

Behind the design is the way Peter Schreyer, Kia man taken from the VW group. He is credited for much of Kia's success in recent years and was recently promoted to one of President positions in the company.

"Floating" center console

Inside, the focus is on exclusive materials and premium feel. A "floating" center console to provide distinctive, while also providing excellent space utilization.

Kia has also worked with the lighting, it becomes increasingly important for automakers who want to stand out from the crowd.

Desing and material quality of the interior is one of the areas where Kia has undergone rapid development in recent years, as it appears in the new Cadenza.Desing and material quality of the interior is one of the areas where Kia has undergone rapid development in recent years, so it appears in the new Cadenza.

293 horsepower

Under the hood we find one engine option, namely a 3.3-liter V6 gasoline engine at 293 horsepower. There has probably also a major cause of the car hardly ever come to Norway, such motorization will give very much cost.

The handling will be weighted towards comfort, yet slightly more sporty than what we are accustomed to find in large sedans in the U.S. market. Kia wants to differentiate themselves from competitors in this area.

Packed with equipment

Another area they will stand out on the equipment level. Most Expensive Cadenza in the U.S. comes in just under 300,000 million - then it's packed with equipment.

Radar-controlled cruise control, navigation system, rearview camera, heated rear seats, filskiftvarsler and blind spot alerts are just some of the goodies in a really long list. Stuff to pay dearly for in state competition standard. We call this nonsense type equipment bomb

Cadenza is a big car and head designer Peter Scheryer has not attempted to curb the size of quite the opposite. Cadenza is a big car and head designer Peter Scheryer has not attempted to curb the size of quite the opposite.
