The all-new second-generation Kia Cadenza has a lower starting price than its predecessor.

The full-size premium sedan will start from $32,890 including destination, compared to the 2016 Cadenza’s starting price of $33,840. It will be available in three trim levels – Premium, Technology and Limited – with the Technology model adding a suite of advanced driver assistance and convenience features for $7,000 additional. At the top of the range is the 2017 Kia Cadenza Limited with a starting price of $45,290.

Standard features on the Limited trim is a Surround View Monitor, Cadenza-first Head-Up Display (HUD), soft Nappa leather trim seating, Smart Power Trunk, heated outboard rear seats and unique 19-inch alloy wheels finished in Dark Satin.

Shoppers can also opt for a $3,000 Luxury Package that is available only on the Premium trim, which adds power folding outside mirrors, a Harman Kardon 12-speaker surround sound premium audio system, HomeLink rearview mirror with integrated compass, Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Rear Parking Assist System. There is also a $1,000 Panoramic sunroof option with power-operating shade that includes LED interior lighting, also offered only on the Premium model.

“The new Cadenza adds an extra dose of excitement to the large-car segment with its striking, aggressively handsome looks and premium refinements,” said Orth Hedrick, vice president of product planning, KMA. “But it’s the bottom line where the Cadenza truly shines, offering more luxury, technology and features at a surprisingly affordable starting point, regardless of which trim level is most appealing to our customers.”
