5 reasons to buy the 2015 Kia Cadenza
1. Elegant interior
Look out for two exclusive color-themed packages, which give you the chance to show off your style. Offering Nappa leather upholstery in either white or gray, complemented by wood-grain accents, these packages add an extra touch of sophistication and style to an already luxurious interior. If you want to take this sedan's elegance to the next level, this is the way to go.
2. V6 power
The heart of the Cadenza is its powerful 3.3L V6 engine, delivering 293 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a six-speed automatic transmission that includes a Sportmatic® manual shift mode and paddle shifters, the Cadenza offers responsive and dynamic driving, suitable for both city and highway travel. Whether you're commuting to work or heading into town to see friends, you've got a fun drive ahead.
3. Standard and available drive aids
The Premium trim level comes generously equipped with a host of technological features, including a standard navigation system, Kia’s Uvo voice command system, and Bluetooth® hands-free calling. These technologies enhance the driving experience, ensuring connectivity and convenience are at your fingertips. You’ll also get nice additional features in the Limited trim including a surround-view camera and a USB port in the armrest.
4. Passenger seat dimensions
For comfort on daily drives and space to stretch out on long-distance journeys, the 2015 Cadenza offers great passenger comfort. Upfront passengers get spacious and supportive bucket seats with 40.0 inches of headroom and 45.5 inches of legroom. The rear row is inviting too, thanks to front seatback pockets for your crew’s essentials and 36.8 inches of legroom.
5. Serene ride
The Cadenza's design prioritizes a driving experience that's as serene as possible, featuring noise-reduction technologies that minimize external noise and vibration. The sedan's triple-seal doors, hydraulic transmission mount, and finely-tuned damper work in harmony to create a peaceful and quiet cabin. This transforms every drive into a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of life.
