In music, the term cadenza refers to a notated or improvised musical passage played or sung by at least one soloist, often in freestyle and, if you’re lucky, with exceptional technical skill. The 2020 Kia Cadenza car, while unable to play an instrument, handles so nicely, you’ll feel like a maestro behind the wheel.

Like a virtuosic soloist, the 2020 Kia Cadenza model is also one that you shouldn’t ignore. Updated and restyled for the 2020 model, the Cadenza you value for its large sedan size and luxurious interior is even better than before. The 2020 Cadenza model has an enhanced upscale exterior style with a new hood, bumpers, and grille. With 19-inch wheels, these upgrades give the 2020 model a sleeker exterior that makes it stand out from its rivals. 

A new and improved dashboard design gives this full-size sedan a fresh appearance and powerful technology. The 2020 model comes with a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen navigation and infotainment display and three additional USB ports. The audio and climate system controls are now available in a more ergonomic design, and you’ll have a remote start option and a wireless smartphone charging pad.

Kia’s Drive Wise suite of driver-assistance features is now standard with the 2020 model. One of the best options in this model is adaptive cruise control. This system uses the Cadenza’s camera and radar modules to adjust the set cruising speed if it detects another vehicle too close to yours. Safety options like these will make you more comfortable on the road and get you and your family to your destination in one piece.

A newly refined, velvety-smooth V-6 engine provides a boost of power to compliment the Cadenza’s serene driving dynamics, letting you enjoy your drive no matter where it takes you. Retaining the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship from previous models, the 2020 Kia Cadenza is an even better deal than you’ve come to expect from Kia.

There’s no denying it. The Kia Optima is a good-looking car. The sleek lines give it a stylish appearance that promises an enjoyable ride. But this car is about more than just looks. It’s also packed with plenty of safety features.

Blind Spot Detection

Several cameras and sensors placed around the car detect potential threats in the driver’s blind spots and alert the driver. The car constantly monitors its surroundings for potential hazards – mainly, other cars. When driving on multilane highways, this feature can be especially useful. During lane changes, the car will alert the driver of another vehicle in its blind spot.

Lane Keep Assist

Cars continue to get smarter. Today’s standard features were yesterday’s upgrade, or in some cases not even available. Take, for instance, lane-keeping technology. This technology relies on external sensors to determine the lane a car is in. If the car senses that it’s veering out of that lane and a turn signal is not being used, the car will notify the driver. The car can even correct steering to remain in the lane, if necessary.

Collision Avoidance

Forward collision avoidance is a standard feature on the Optima. This bit of automotive technology watches the road ahead to monitor for potentially hazardous situations. If it senses an imminent collision, and the driver fails to respond, the car will apply its brakes in an attempt to prevent the collision.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

Parking lots are a common spot for collisions to occur. In an effort to address this pain point, Kia has installed a radar system in the rear of the car. The bumper-mounted sensors watch for vehicles approaching from the left or right, and alert the driver to warn of oncoming traffic.

Connected App

Using the UVO Intelligence system, you can control your Optima from your smartphone. The app allows you to remotely start the car and also set the heat and air conditioning levels. This will be especially useful on those days when it’s either really cold or very hot, since you can now get into a comfortably preheated or precooled car.

The app also provides monthly vehicle health reports and maintenance alerts, so you can keep your car in top shape.

The Kia Optima has been called handsome in the past, and some car reviewers have even dared refer to the car as sexy. This is not a common adjective for a family sedan. Inside, words like beautiful are used to describe its dash layout.

Looking at the Optima, it’s obvious that careful consideration went into the design of both the interior and exterior.

On the front, narrow headlights are outlined by a stripe of LED lighting. The combination, along with the narrow grille, gives the car a sporty appearance that hints at a fun, sporty ride. The hood is given shape to add character and styling, without seeming overdone.

At the back, taillights run the full length of the rear, and the slanted rear window evokes the fastback styling of sports cars from days gone by. A chrome strip along the top of the doors wraps around and under the rear window, accentuating the sportiness of the rear profile.

Inside, the car is just as impressive. The dashboard is a rich, deep black, with tasteful design touches. The instrument cluster is detailed but not overdone, and the wide 10.3-inch touchscreen panel provides access to the car’s control systems. Aside from a volume knob, the entire sound system is controlled by the touchscreen or buttons on the steering wheel.

The heating and cooling systems are also controlled entirely from the touch screen.

The lack of physical controls gives the dash area a clean and somewhat minimalist look. For those who prefer the tactile sensation of buttons and knobs, this screen-only approach may take some getting used to.

To keep your phone alive during the drive, the Optima includes a wireless charging pad. The center console is thoughtfully laid out, with several spots for storage of small items, like your phone.

For bigger items, the trunk is roomy, with enough room for full-size suitcases. Back inside, the sedan is roomy enough that adults in the rear seat will find it a comfortable ride. Although the car seats five, three adults in the back seat is a cozy fit.

Up front, there’s plenty of adjustability for the driver seat, and a leather seating option, along with heated seats, will provide for a comfortable driving experience.

For those snowy, icy winter roads, all-wheel drive allows for added peace of mind and driver control.

If a bit more power is required, a GT version offers a turbocharged motor capable of 290 horsepower.
