    Kia Cadenza

    EPA MPG: 23 mpg

    RECALL ALERT:
    There is 1 recall on this vehicle. Learn More.

    Road Test

    The large, second-generation Cadenza proves again to be a pleasant, upscale sedan that favors accommodations and power but dynamic prowess is not its strong suit. It is very roomy, with a smooth powertrain, decent fuel economy, and easy to use controls. While it doesn't delight in terms of ride and handling, Kia's competitively-priced large sedan does plenty of things right.
