2021 Kia Cadenza Model Review - Houston, TX

What's New For the 2021 Kia Cadenza?

A few key updates were made to the new Cadenza. While fresh exterior styling helps elevate the sedan's appearance, a new infotainment system adds to its luxuriousness. There are also more safety technologies on the sedan's list of standard features.

Which Features Are Available for 2021?

Kia offers the Cadenza in two trim levels: Technology and Limited. Many luxury car shoppers will love Technology trim's excellent value. It's loaded with a long list of premium features. Kia's new infotainment system is a big highlight, which provides a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone support. Navigation is also built into the interface. When loading cargo, you'll appreciate the sedan's hands-free Smart Trunk. Other key standard equipment includes a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and wireless smartphone charging.

Atop the range is the Limited trim. You'll enjoy additional creature comforts, including ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. Quilted Nappa leather seat trim makes the cabin feel even more upscale. Meanwhile, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system gives your music a powerful sound.

Featuring Great Performance

Motivating the new Cadenza is a muscular V6 engine, which develops 290 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed Sportmatic transmission sends power to the wheels. With a tested 0-60 time of 6.5 seconds, this powerful luxury sedan promises to offer strong acceleration. To ensure agile handling and excellent ride comfort, Kia equips the Cadenza with a four-wheel independent suspension.

Packed With Safety Features

Both trims now come standard with several advanced safety technologies. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Safe Exit Assist, and Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control are just a few of these confidence-inspiring features. An exclusive Blind Spot View Monitor is found on the Cadenza Limited, which provides live video of vehicles approaching in the next lane. You can also take advantage of the sedan's available 360-degree parking camera.
