Easy-To-Use Electronics Interface
For individuals looking for a quality infotainment system in a modestly priced large sedan, the Kia Cadenza might just be what you're looking for. Complete with a clean, handsome design, the Cadenza also offers audio, climate, phone, and navigation systems that are easy to both reach and interact with. The touchscreen, in particular, has earned positive reviews thanks to its logically placed large virtual buttons.
Upscale Interior
More on that upscale cabin area: not only is the Cadenza outfitted with great, high-tech features, but the interior materials also evoke a sense of refinement. The cushy and well-shaped seats both in front and in the rear provide solid back and leg support, while the cabin area, in general, offers plenty of room for passengers.
Powerful V6 Engine
Standard on all Cadenzas is a powerful 3.3-liter V6 engine that is capable of generating 293 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque. This allows the Cadenza to successfully accelerate up on-ramps and pass other vehicles it shares the road with.
Engine Options
For individuals looking for a little engine variety in a large sedan, the Cadenza can be a little disappointing. Though its standard engine is very capable, those looking for less power or a powertrain with better fuel economy will have to look elsewhere.
Fuel Economy
It isn't that the Kia Cadenza has awful fuel economy, but there are other large sedans that outperform the Cadenza at the pump. The EPA estimates that the Cadenza achieves 22 mpg combined (19 mpg city/28 mpg highway).
Stopping Distance
We're admittedly nitpicking to a degree here when it comes the Cadenza's ability to successfully brake. However, considering its place as a leading competitor in its class, the Cadenza was able to come to a complete stop from 60 mph in 122 feet -- an average distance for the segment.

2014 Kia Cadenza
Love how this car rides and handles, interior quality is top-notch. Love the navigation system, and panorama roof, glad I choose this over the Volvo S60. The only thing I wish was the rear seats folded down, not a big deal but it would be nice, for extra cargo space.

2014 Kia Cadenza
It is a beautiful, comfortable and reliable vehicle. It has lots of optional options which I am in the process of learning. It amazes me what it can do.

2014 Kia Cadenza
I love my 2014 Cadenza, however, when the opportunity arose for me to ride as a passenger, I didn't like the fact that my seat would not go up and down heightwise. It went back, forward and tilt, however to have my seat to rise up, would have been great. Did not know this when I made the purchase.

The major thing missing in my vehicle is a totally adjustable passenger front seat.
