2012 Kia Cadenza

The Cadenza near-luxury full-size sedan is part of the Korean manufacturer's revamped range, and among the first Kia models to feature the new corporate design theme.

Features, standard or otherwise, include a CD/MP3 stereo with six JBL speakers and iPod/USB support, 6-disc CD changer, cloth or leather upholstery, power front seats, intelligent keyless entry with starter button, HID headlights, fake wood grain, fog lamps, power windows, electric mirrors, immobilizer, 16-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic a/c, panoramic glass roof, electric rear curtains, auto-dimming mirror, rain-sensing wipers, cruise control, navigation, ventilated front seats, rear camera and interior lighting. Safety features include stability control, eight airbags, active headrests and ABS for the four-wheel-disc brakes.
