2017 Kia Cadenza - Review and Road Test - Full-size sedans haven't been the go-to family car for a couple generations now, but there's still a place in the market for these big 4-doors, and the second-generation Kia Cedenza is proof....

Standard features will include leather seats, Bluetooth, a navigation system, Kia UVO, alloy wheels, and other luxury car features. This will be one of four Korean luxury sedans sold in the United States, the other three cars being the Hyundai Genesis, Kia K900 and Hyundai Equus, which are currently on sale in the United States, and are manufactured by Hyundai and Kia.

The car features Nappa leather seats in black, beige, or white, the latter available when also outfitted with luxury, technology, and white interior packages.
