2019 Kia Cadenza consumer reviews

First, anybody who automatically passes on considering a Kia (or its sister company Hyundai) when shopping for a new or "newer" used car is making a mistake. Both of these manufacturers create some of the best cars available in a number of different categories. They have become what Toyota and its sister Lexus were 30 years ago, only better. Those brands never offered a 10/100 drivetrain or a 5/60 bumper to bumper warranty with the 5/60 being fully transferrable to a second owner. Bottom line, we own a 2019 Kia Cadenza (fully competitive with a Lexus ES350) with 9,000 miles and the remainder warranty lasting 4 years and 51,000 miles and a drive away price after a minimal trade and much negotiation of $21,600. The CarFax was clean down to the service history. The supply of these is dwindling and/or going up in price because people have read the reviews and articles and choosing these instead of a Toyota Avalon, Chevy Impala, Buick LaCrosse or even an older Lexus ES.

I’ve owned a Benz, Navigator, and a Caddy. However, at my age I’m looking for style and savings. This has everything I need and wanted in a luxury car.

The Cadenza meets all my needs in a car! Rides great, handle great! Seats 4 comfortably. Plenty of trunk space. Looks fantastic "👍". Love everything about the Kia Cadenza. Will recommend it to everyone!

After 27 months of driving a 2017 Cadenza, I gladly got rid of it in November, 2019. Yes, it is very attractive and heavily laden with many luxury car features. Yes, it was reliable. BUT: it is a very tricky car to drive in winter with the tires used on the top line version. Pano sunroof needed constant adjustment to avoid rattles. Dealer network is weak. Like other Korean makes, it has lousy resale value. After a few weeks, it became uncomfortable for me, particularly on longer trips. Could not wait to say goodbye to it. You might not have the same experience I did, but, buh-bye Kia and to sedans in general.

I love it! Like I said looks like the big BMW at a more reasonable price. It extremely spacious in side with plenty of leg room. Rides like being on a cloud.

First time KIA owner. Meets all of my needs. Very comfortable, dependable and well made. Has all of the conveniences of a luxury car at a lower competitive price. 8-speed automatic does quite well with gas mileage. A shame that this KIA model was never marketed properly; it would be a best seller.

I got my Cadenza after months of looking for a new car. I test drive a lot of cars and decided to get the limited edition of the Cadenza. My car drives great and has comfort built in. A smooth ride with plenty of power. The most impressive aspect of my car is the amount of people that stop me and ask me if it is a Kia. When they look inside and see the features they leave impressed.
