CADENZA
NOW’S THE TIME TO
AIM EVEN HIGHER.
You set an exceptionally high standard for yourself. And you count on others to live up to
your lofty expectations. You apply the same rigorous criteria to the vehicle you drive. Your
unwavering pursuit of quality will find a worthy new ally in Cadenza. It’s nothing less than a
new form of luxury, building on Kia’s exemplary foundation of leading-edge design, innovative
technology and impeccable quality. Add to that the characteristics that define a truly elite
luxury driving experience. Then see for yourself how that vision is fulfilled – in the 2016 Kia
Cadenza. With its sleek, yet muscular design and cutting-edge technologies, Cadenza sets a
new, higher standard among premium sedans – a fact that was underscored by J.D. Power and
Associates when it named the 2014 Cadenza the “Highest Ranked Large Car in Initial Quality
in the U.S.” 9 Set your sights higher than ever. Introduce yourself to Cadenza.
APPRECIATE THE
FINE ART OF
PERFORMANCE.
Extraordinary performance consists of more than precision engineering and the very latest
in technology. It’s also a state of mind. One look at the Cadenza is sure to ignite a strong
power of suggestion. Its angular contours and assured stance suggest a sophisticated level
of performance; its advanced technologies deliver on the promise. At the heart is a 3.3 litre
Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) V6 engine that generates 293 horsepower and is mated with
a six-speed Sportmatic® transmission that allows you to choose between an automatic
mode or sportier, clutch-free manual shifting with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Complete the picture with such innovative driver assist systems as the available Advanced
Smart Cruise Control1 and Blind-Spot Detection1. Ready to raise your game? Drive the
game-changing form of premium performance. Cadenza.
THE FOCUS
IS ON YOU.
In Cadenza, the objective is to give you the tools you need to retain a singular focus on
driving. That’s facilitated by such standard features as a voice-command navigation3
system with Rear-Camera Display1 and a Back-Up Warning System.1 Once you’re on
the road, another dimension of the driving experience is provided by the premium
Infinity®4 by Harman surround-sound audio system that employs 12 speakers to
create a rich audio soundstage. And with this form of performance, you’re not just the
audience, you’re also the conductor.
1. REARVIEW CAMERA
DISPLAY1
The display helps
reveal objects behind
your vehicle that may
otherwise go unseen.
2. Back-up warning
system1
A sonar system is
concealed in the rear
bumper. When you back
up, an audible warning
is given if the system
detects objects behind
your vehicle.
3. SUPERVISION TFT LCD
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
A high-visibility vehicle
information screen and
LCD gauges offer easy,
at-a-glance reading in a
variety of ambient light
conditions. The cluster
is included on Cadenza
Premium and Tech models.
4. Hydrophobic glass
To help improve visibility
in rainy weather, front
side windows with
available hydrophobic
glass instantly repel
water.

Infinity®4 Audio system
A premium Infinity®4 by
Harman surround-sound
audio system delivers crystal
clear and balanced concerthall quality sound. The
system features 12 precisely
positioned speakers,
including a subwoofer,
centre channel speaker and
external amplifier.
LUXURY AT YOUR COMMAND.
It isn’t only a matter of what you can control with Cadenza’s
advanced multimedia interface, it’s how. You can use voice
commands with the sophisticated speech recognition
technology or the dynamic display and brilliant graphics of
the touch screen. Both offer you precise control of onboard
navigation and entertainment systems and functions. It’s
a driver’s seat and command post in one. That’s Cadenza’s
forward-thinking approach to luxury.
TOUCH-SCREEN TECHNOLOGY
A bright, 8-inch LCD touch
screen features smartphonelike controls that respond with
a touch of your finger.
MEDIA AND MUSIC INTEGRATION
The interface provides
hands-free connectivity for
your Bluetooth®6-enabled cell
phone and supports digital
music streaming from your
iPod®8 or USB-connected
music sources, in addition to
the system’s own internal
hard drive. Your music
selections are displayed as
extra-large album artwork
on the touch screen.
REARVIEW CAMERA DISPLAY1
When you shift into Reverse,
the multimedia interface
automatically displays a highresolution image from the
vehicle’s rearview camera.
PREMIUM AUDIO SYSTEM
INTEGRATION
The multimedia interface
is fully integrated with
Cadenza’s premium
12-speaker Infinity®4 by
Harman surround-sound
audio system.
ON-BOARD NAVIGATION3
Cadenza’s standard onboard
navigation system is also
fully integrated with the
multimedia interface. Call-up
a destination, find a point of
interest or type in an address
on the touch screen and
Cadenza will lead you there.
YOUR OWN
PERSONAL
SANCTUARY.
Spaciousness. Comfort. Plus a distinctly premium look
and feel. Cadenza offers all the keystones of a luxurious
personal sanctuary that is sure to satisfy even the most
demanding drivers – like you. Settle into the first-class
accommodations, with heated power-adjustable front
seats that strike an ideal balance of comfort and support.
Top-flight amenities enrich the experience with leather
seat trim, chrome accents and sophisticated wood-grain
style trim. Life is very good indeed inside Cadenza. Your
sanctuary from the everyday.

separate ventilation outlet.

enjoy a cooler and more
comfortable drive thanks to an
available power rear-window
sunshade.
4. Power seat-cushion
extension
An available power-adjustable
driver’s seat-cushion extension
is a welcome luxury, providing
extra support and allowing
drivers to select their own
custom comfort settings. An
available memory system
remembers two drivers’
preferences, recalling stored
positions for the driver’s seat,
outside mirrors and poweradjustable steering column.
Cadenza sets a very high standard of luxury. The question is, what level appeals to
your individual tastes. Heated power-adjustable front seats with leather trim are
standard. If you desire a step up to even more luxurious appointments, you can opt
for the available premium Nappa leather seat trim, air-cooled front seats, a poweradjustable driver’s seat-cushion extension and a power rear-window sunshade. It’s
a cut above the cut above.
A PROACTIVE
APPROACH
TO SAFETY.
Vehicle Stability
management (VSM)
VSM is a safety feature that adds
steering direction control capability. It
intervenes when appropriate to help
the driver regain control of the vehicle.
Electronic stability
control (ESC)
ESC monitors your vehicle’s response
during emergency manoeuvres. It can
intervene by controlling the engine
and brakes to help keep your Cadenza
on course.
Cadenza is equipped with a series of advanced active safety systems that work
together to help give you a proactive layer of defence. Think of it as defensive
engineering – Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control System (TCS),
Brake Assist System (BAS) and Vehicle Stability Management system (VSM)
help you maintain control even in difficult conditions and in many
emergency braking scenarios. Cadenza responds to potentially
hazardous situations even before you do. Comforting thought –
don’t you think?
Traction control
system (TCS)
When TCS senses wheel spin during
acceleration, it uses engine power and
brake force to adjust power to the
wheels with the most traction.
Electronic brake-force
distributioN (EBD)
To help maintain more consistent braking
as vehicle loads and weight distribution
change, EBD adjusts the front-to-rear
balance of brake pressure.
Hill-start assist
control (HAC)
To help keep you from rolling backward
when starting up a steep hill, HAC
automatically holds the brake pressure
for two seconds after you take your
foot off the brake pedal. That gives
you plenty of time to move your foot
†No system, no matter how advanced, can compensate for all driver error and/or driving conditions.
to
the accelerator pedal.
Always drive responsibly. CADENZA PREMIUM MODEL SHOWN. Some features may vary.
Brake assist
system (BAS)
If BAS detects emergency braking,
based on how quickly you step on the
brake pedal, it instantly applies full
braking force, which helps shorten
your overall stopping distance.
eight advanced airbags5
Dual front airbags, full-length
side curtain airbags and front
and rear seat-mounted side
airbags are managed by an
advanced sensor system that
can even respond in certain
rollover situations.
Airbag & Seatbelt sensors
This advanced system
monitors the severity of
certain impacts, the presence
of a front passenger and
seat-belt use, and then
controls airbag inflation
accordingly.
front seaT-belt
pretensioners
Pretensioners are designed
to tighten the front seat
belts in the event of certain
collisions. This helps reduce
the likelihood of injuries.
high-strength, tensile
steel-reinforced body
Cadenza’s body structure is
reinforced with the extensive
use of high-strength tensile
steel. This material is lighter
and stronger than traditional
steel, helping protect
passengers while reducing
overall weight.
Front & Rear crumple zones
Front and rear crumple zones
are specially engineered to
help absorb and dissipate
impact energy, helping to
preserve the structural
integrity of the entire
passenger compartment
in certain collisions.
PROTECTION. FOR
SITUATIONS THAT
CAN’T BE AVOIDED.
Despite all of Cadenza’s comprehensive active safety technology, in certain
situations, a collision may prove unavoidable. That’s when a series of passive
safety systems are activated to help protect the driver and passengers
alike. An advanced airbag system5 includes dual front, front and rear seatmounted side, and full-length side-curtain airbags. In addition, the protective,
high-strength, tensile steel-reinforced body helps absorb impact energy in a
controlled manner. You can count on it. For added peace of mind.
Rear child-safety
door locks
Rear child-safety door locks
help prevent the doors from
being opened accidentally,
which is important when
small children are on board.
When doors are in the locked
position, they can only be
opened from the outside.

Starting with the 2015 model year, Natural Resources Canada in conjunction with the automotive manufacturers, have introduced a new testing procedure that will result in higher fuel consumption
ratings that are more representative of everyday driving. Kia Canada is one of the first automotive manufacturers to implement the new testing practice and would like to ensure you fully understand the
difference. The new procedure incorporates 3 additional test cycles that account for air conditioner usage, cold temperature operation, and higher speeds with more rapid acceleration and braking.
