With a seemingly endless list of equipment, outstanding performance and a sub-$60K entry price, it's easy to see why the 2015 Kia K900 is attracting an extraordinary level of attention. Unfortunately for those in the Midwest, Kia's new flagship is yet to arrive in the region. But Kia has something special already available for those wanting luxury and tremendous value, at around half the price of a fully-loaded 2015 K900.

The 2014 Kia Cadenza has drastically altered expectations for full-size sedan buyers and won a trunk-load of accolades in the process. Not only did the 2014 Cadenza beat all domestic and imported rivals in Motor Trend's full-size sedan comparison test, it won Road & Travel Magazine's 2014 International Car of the Year Award.


Commenting on the Cadenza's success, Road & Travel Magazine editor Courtney Caldwell stated that, "Overall, the car is beautiful and affordable, making upscale style and performance attainable by mid-America. We applaud Kia's rapid rise from underdog to unbelievable!"

Unbelievable is perhaps the best word to describe the number of premium features standard on the 2014 Kia Cadenza. Luxuries like adaptive headlights, heated rear-glass, heated front seats, leather seat trim, wood interior accents, dual temperature control, 12-speaker Infinity® Surround Sound Audio system, SiriusXM Radio, Uno eServices with voice-command Navigation, rear-camera display, back-up warning system and push-button start are just a small selection of highlights.

On the road, the 2014 Cadenza is drawing praise for delivering a quiet and smooth ride, comparable to large vehicles way beyond its price point. But don't let its size and friendly nature deceive you, the Cadenza offers exhilarating performance, with a 3.3 Liter V6 powering you to 293 horsepower. If the comfortable ride and impressive power weren't tantalizing enough, this full-sized sedan offers up to 28 highway mpg.

The styling of the 2015 K900 has won Kia many new fans that will also be drawn to the 2014 Cadenza, which offers a similar aggressive yet elegant aesthetic. Kia has not taken the conservative luxury approach here; the Cadenza makes a bold statement on the road, inspiring awe that's usually reserved for vehicles twice its price.

The 2014 Cadenza also offers owners the Peace of Mind that only a new Kia can provide. Backed by Kia's 10 year/100,000 mile warranty, the Cadenza has also been named a 2013 IIHS Top Safety Pick and just took out the J.D. Power award for being the, 'Highest Ranked Large Car in Initial Quality'.

Real luxury is here and it doesn't have to break the bank. The stunning 2014 Kia Cadenza starts from just $35,100. Admire one up-close, at Barnett Kia in White Bear Lake.
