Luxury cars still draw the attention of many drivers that are looking for something stylish and unique. The Kia Cadenza has been a leading choice for drivers for many years thanks to its iconic style and luxury features. With so many new features and details added to the 2018 Cadenza, it can be hard to sift through all of the information. Here is a buyer’s guide to the new 2018 Kia Cadenza.
Power
Like many other luxury cars, the 2018 Kia Cadenza brings a new level of performance to the market. Its 3.3L V6 engine produces up to 290 hp, which makes it powerful enough to give you that excitement that you are looking for. Kia also uses the Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) system to get the best possible performance out of the engine. The result is not only better performance, but better fuel-efficiency as well.
Performance
Aside from a higher powered engine, the Cadenza comes with Kia’s new 8-speed Sportmatic transmission. It is designed for a sports-tuned vehicle and gives you better acceleration and speed management. However, it is also better at conserving power, which means that your Cadenza will still be fuel efficient.
The Cadenza also has a tuned suspension. Each wheel has its own suspension system making them completely independent. This makes handling smoother as well as helps reduce noise in the cabin. The result is a much smoother and quieter ride than any of the previous versions.
Trim Options
There are three trim options available for the 2018 Kia Cadenza. The Premium package comes with a wide range of standard features, including the UVO system. Many of these features are of the quality you expect in a luxury vehicle.
The next step up is the Technology package, which adds several technology features that make driving more enjoyable. These include all LED lights, the Advanced Smart Cruise Control, and an Electronic Parking Brake system. The highest package is the Limited, and it comes with Nappa Leather and heated seats. A set of 19” dark satin alloy wheels make it stand out from the other packages.
UVO
One of the unique features in the 2018 Kia Cadenza is the UVO system. UVO reduces the need for distracting controls by implementing a voice activation system. Many of the controls in the Cadenza can be voice activated through UVO, making it possible for you to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. It is just one of many ways that the Cadenza can help make your driving much safer.
Kia’s changes to the current Cadenza made it a better option if you are looking for a luxury vehicle. It has some of the industry’s best technologies and materials including Nappa leather, making it a good choice for luxury on the road. The best way to know if this car is right for you is to stop by Kia of Vacaville. Stop by today and take one for a test drive.
