Overview

The 2015 Kia Cadenza sedan makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan. With 2 trims on offer, the Kia Cadenza has a base MSRP of $34,900, with prices going all the way up to an MSRP of $43,800, competing directly with the Chrysler 300, the Chevrolet Malibu, and the Toyota Camry. Only a 3.3L V6 gas engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 295 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 6.7 seconds, the Kia Cadenza maintains a combined fuel economy of 22 MPG. Kia offers the Kia Cadenza in 6 stunning colors, with the satin metal being a particular favorite of ours. 

Buying Advice
