The European-Inspired 2017 Kia Cadenza

2016 Kia Cadenza

The 2017 Kia Cadenza will be hitting the market soon with a clean new design and distinctly European feel. Although it’s only been available in the United States since 2013, the Cadenza has been sold overseas since 2010, and it is already enjoying sleek upgrades to its body and interior. Kia is emphasizing modern touches and elegance in the 2017 version, so new Kia Cadenza drivers can expect a high-end experience.

Clean Lines, Pure Style

The new Kia Cadenza model features a sleeker, sportier body style than its predecessors. Kia has made the kind of edits that simplify, but make things more elegant and beautiful. The trademark “tiger-nose” grille, long nose, and proportionally sculpted top come together to deliver an aspirational, head-turning look to the exterior. A grid pattern of LED fog lights is speculated for the front bumper, and Kia has yet to announce if these features will come standard.

Contemporary Interior Touches

Expectations for the new dashboard layout will be the same as the current model but with a more refined look. Look for the fresh, uncluttered design that people have always responded to, combined with more metal and soft-touches than in previous versions. The interior will be packed with the latest technology features for information, entertainment, and connectivity. Additionally, a host of groundbreaking safety intervention and alert capabilities will be available.

Updated Powertrain is Expected

Drivetrain spec announcements have not yet been made, but speculation assumes the Cadenza’s current Front-Wheel Drive platform will be updated for the 2017 model. The 3.3L V6 engine and other components will most likely carry over, and we might see a smaller engine option become available.

The 2017 Kia Cadenza is Anticipated This Fall

Kia has confirmed that the 2017 Kia Cadenza will go on sale worldwide this year. As for the United States, the Cadenza is debuting at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show this month, and it should arrive for sale this fall.
