2015 Kia Cadenza consumer reviews

I've had more problems with this car than any other car I've owned. 2015 Cadenza problems, 2010 Nissan Altima hardly any problems. Nice style but the quality sucks.

Love the handling and comfort on the road. Mpg was true to the advertising. The windshield recall was done, with a comped rental. There does seem to be a lag on factory to dealer info relative to the fix on the HECE correction

A nice car, but it has its flaws. Sticker was 38k, bought it brand new in 2016 for 22,000. It was a Steal. Right off the back, dealer needed to update the software because the door locks didn’t work when shifting to drive/ park. Panoramic sunroof rattles like no other. 10+ visits to the dealer for this issue, eventually reached a settlement with Kia. No resolution. Engine has been extremely reliable until about 70k miles. Had to replace the evap canister 500 repair. Currently my ac is not working due to leaking lines. Line replacement is 300 a pc, probably looking at a 1000 repair. 5 years later with the vehicle, it still looks sharp. It’s quick on its feet, it sounds good, and it’s extremely comfortable. A great car for the right person. I am considering trading the car in because I am afraid of what the maintenance future holds on this vehicle. Transferred title from my wife’s name to mine, and it voided every warranty the car had. 5 years later, 78,000 miles the cars worth 12 grand. Not very upset because I paid 22 for it. But I could not imagine paying sticker. I would recommend it to someone who is not as particular as me.

Test drove and really enjoyed the 290 HP engine. The vehicle has every option you would want. Plenty of room for big frame guys. I would have bought it but the wife wanted an SUV. So we bought a Toyota RAV4 Limited instead.

It has been a really great car so far really didn’t have a problem at all with it as of roughy now really good car

I believe this to be the best car that I have owned. Luv, luv, luv my 2015 Kia Cadenza Premium. Everything in this car is simple to operate. Had a 06 Benz E350 & setting the clock was a BIG deal! The driving is great, the ride is great. Kia really knows how to design a car & make simplicity center stage. I have been converted!! Gave a 4 star for reliability because I haven’t owned it long enough to evaluate that.

Most reliable car. It has every you need.Back up camera ,plus naviagation, heated seats and stirring wheel. It is a joy to drive. I would recommend this car to anyone.

The Kia Cadenza is one of the best vehicles we have ever owned, we love it! We owned a Kia Cadenza once before, leased it, when the lease was over we bought a stinger! Love the stinger, but wife wanted another Cadenza! Now we have a Stinger and a Cadenza, happy vehicle owners!

Not sure what to say about our 2015 Cadenza, we bought it new for 10k under sticker and while it has rarely left us stranded its not built for reliability. Overall the power-train is proven and we can report seems solid. Frequent issues are minor but add up over time. Paint, trim, & navigation head unit have been our issues. The car drives well, and well powered for a vehicle in its class but lacks some features expected in this class such as turbo. Value is interesting, these cars new are heavily incentivized due to poor north American sales. We paid 26k for a car stickered at 36k, but three years and 40k miles later its value is around 13.5k. For those who want a deal on a full size car, and resale isn't a concern then the Cadenza might be a good buy. If not, then there are much less risky options on the market.

In general the car isn't too bad. I bought CPO and thought that meant something like it used to. It proved me wrong a few times over. Purchased a bit over a year ago, the first week, taken back for AC repair and power seat. Recently for belt tensioner that made a ton of noise. Needs tires already as the new ones that were put on before purchase started to warp and cup about a month into the car.
