DEL MAR, Calif., May 13, 2013– Since its debut at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the all-new Cadenza sedan has garnered praise for its premium feel and long list of amenities.  Now, it’s time for Kia’s newest flagship to demonstrate its driving prowess on the scenic and varied roads around San Diego as Kia Motors America (KMA) introduces the Cadenza to the leading automotive and lifestyle media.  As the most powerful and technologically-advanced vehicle Kia has ever introduced in North America, the Cadenza expands Kia’s long list of award-winning vehicles while moving the brand up-market with an impressive selection of premium standard and available equipment, including Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC), Blind Spot Detection (BSD)² and Lane-Departure Warning System (LDWS).  The Cadenza is offered in one trim level, known as Premium, with a starting MSRP of $35,100, plus $800 destination and handling³.

“The Cadenza’s dynamic driving characteristics and advanced technology set our premium sedan apart from the competition,” said Michael Sprague, executive vice president of marketing & communications, KMA.  “Combining our most powerful engine with a well-engineered chassis, a direct and communicative steering system and a capable multi-link rear suspension, the Cadenza promises to appeal to shoppers who want both comfort and performance from a premium-level sedan.”

The Cadenza offers an upscale European-influenced design aesthetic and plenty of muscle with Kia’s most powerful V6.  The cabin features soft touch points, tasteful chrome details and premium wood accents.  All of these elements fused with an abundant roster of technology demonstrate the Cadenza’s ability to bring value to new levels of sophistication in the emerging market between mainstream and luxury.
In addition, Kia offers a complimentary scheduled maintenance program for the all-new 2014 Cadenza.  The program covers the first five factory scheduled service appointments and is applicable for 36 months or 37,500 miles⁴, whichever comes first.  The program highlights yet another way Kia promises to further differentiate the Cadenza from its competition.
