This Cadenza could be had running on LPG gas, a fuel option Kia never offered on the US-market car.
Few shoppers cross-shop a big Korean sedan for crash safety, but this Cadenza earned a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS, one of the hardest awards in the business to get.
The Cadenza replaced the unloved Opirus/Amanti, then Kia sold it alongside four other Korean luxury sedans in the US before axing it for the 2021 K8.
