Some of the technology included in this vehicle are the new Head Up Display that shows important information on the windshield of the vehicle for the driver. There is also an improves Surround View Monitor, Smart Trunk, and the Kia UVO system that features Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a 12-speaker Harman/Kardon system with ClariFi music.

“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, Kia Motors America. “Everything you see and touch in the Cadenza’s cabin has been improved, but it’s underneath where the Cadenza truly shines with a stiffer and lighter chassis, eight-speed transmission and vastly improved driving dynamics.”
