2014 Kia Cadenza - Redline: Review 

here in UAE they had promotions on the 2014 model and they were selling the fully loaded for under 30k usd. Absolute steal at this price. Have been enjoying the ride for the last 3 years.

Parliament1mg I found one for 19000 with 29k is this a good deal? I'm only 16 and this will be my first car (I already drive my dad's genesis regularly)

I've had this car for several months now. I agree with you that i could not afford this car full sticker, but i bought mine for a very similar price. Luxury package with 23k milles for 20k flat. This car has excellent value. I think its the badge that steers people away but its their loss lol.

Hows your Cadenza holding up so far?

Are you ablet o turn off the lane departure warning? How annoying is it for you? Thats almost a deal breaker for me

Terrance Collins think all the 14/15 ones have fallen below 20 g's but a Limited or tech package one with low milage seems to be hard to in my area... Might as well go for the cooled seats if I'm even further away from 30 highway MPGS than just about all of the competition...

I just bought a lightly used 2010 cadenza for 10k because i needed a car in Korea. The car looks and drives like it's 1 year old. Absolute steal.

How is it looking now?

Christopher Adams or maybe they just want to save some money or couldn’t afford the car at the time? Or are just being smart with their money? You fucking idiot

Christopher Adams you called me a faggot and then delete the comment thinking I wouldn’t see it lmfao fucking Pussy. I’ll insult you some more you made a stupid comment so I called your dumbass out on it grow some balls fucking pansy

Cassidey Ousley I get excited when I see other Cadenzas 😂 I have the sxl and love it.

Cassidey Ousley I've never seen one but I'm getting one in a few months

How many miles does it have and is it reliable?

HAHAHAHA DUDE my aunt has this and one time we were at the store and some guy walked up to us and was like “ what type of car is that? And How do I get one 🤣🤣

Do your car have apple CarPlay?

lol no they don’t.. 🤣🤣

This car is such a steal when buying used. I literally bought mine for a very similar price. 23k Miles for 20k flat with Luxury package. This is the underdog of near luxury cars that nobody knows about.

So far how do you like the car do you think is better than Toyota or Honda

Hello here in 2024! How are you all liking your cadenzas now?

I need a newer car and I'm trying to convince my wife that it's a good deal. Sometimes I'm a little late to work so I hear comfortable at 155 and I'm sold

Do you still have it? I’m looking into one myself.

@@redsaint2022 i have one. Bought at 55k at 103k now. No big problems yet. Amazing car

Thank you Michael, we look forward to testing the new K900 when one become available. Glad you enjoyed the review :)

2theRedline Another amazing review sofyan! i really enjoy your videos! my mom bought a ford explorer sport and she loves it. i showed her the review of the one that you reviewed. she said your videos are great and very refine. thank you for all of your reviews! i watch all of them, and i love all of them!

+Redline Reviews which do u prefer the cadenza or the maxima

What about the keys?

Kiwi S. Same??

I have this car also. It is quite odd that this car doesn't sell all that much. This isn't the best car on the block, but its the best VALUE of its competition IMO. I do however experience the same phenomenon. It kinda feels cool to be driving the only car where you live and im in the same situation. Everyone always asks what kind of car it is.

Did you end up buying? Are you enjoying it still?

We choose test drive routes based on the vehicle we test, a full-size sedan isn't built to attack twisty roads like a sport sedan. It's designed to provide a comfortable ride for highway cruising. The new Cadenza isn't bad but it's not the type of vehicle you'd want to use on a windy canyon road ;)

Miles? I see one around 70k think that's too much tho

I just saw one online in Omaha for $12k . Talk about a LOT of car for the money! And this car has MUCH more character and personality than an Accord.

1970borntorun the accord is in a in the midsize class. The cadenza is a full-size car.

I found this out a few days ago when I thought my trunk was broken 😂

The Genesis R-Spec makes a strong case for itself. We may actually choose that model for it's V8 engine and rear-drive. However, we like the styling of the Cadenza more. That being said, the Cadenza is actually based on the front-drive Azera while the new K900 will be Kia's version of the Genesis/Equus.

Umed Wynn You can find the song title in the description :)

Genesis is a little quieter than this cadenza.

+Bo Vorachack the suspension is also soft.

+Fyah King the Genesis isn't really in this class of car. It really is a bit of a step up from the cadenza and not really fair to compare. But the road noise is improved when i changed the tires from the stock hankook ones. They aren't that well received in online reviews.

You should have a pretty good guess from the look of your username ;)

+Redline Reviews That's like telling a blind man to pick a certain color out of a 32 count crayon box. Could you be a little more specific?

Take it you won’t regret it

@@nathanminaj9030 I ended up leaving it since it had rust underneath. Got a clean 2018 sonata limited. with 19k miles. Loaded car for 20,800. I'm in New York so for the market I think I got a good deal. Under kbb value.

Value is the biggest selling point on this car.

its going for 25k almost brand new in the market atm

A few for 11k now under 100k miles

Sjrick acura

Kia does

We prefer Bang and Olufsen, Bose, or Mark Levinson... we've got an editor who is tough to please for audio systems. To the average consumer, Infinity would sound just fine, but to those who are pure audiophiles, it may sound a bit lackluster.

+Redline Reviews There are no audiophiles in automobiles nor ones that purchase Bose junk.

What about Nakamichi lol

Kia fixed that in the later model Cadenza's. Glad you enjoyed the review :)

They're both ventilated in the 2014 model, for the SXL trim

Well this makes sense, because Kia hired a former AUDI designer to design their cars.

"you want the real deal, buy a used CPO A6 - better in every way" = You want the real deal, pay more money. Like telling a guy he should have bought the Ferrari over the Toyota.

They have found their Soul ! I have one a 2014 Soul+ it now has 50,000 miles on it and it's the most trouble free car I have owned. KIA has come a long way . They have reason to be proud of their growth.

trina crawford I have one it has 2 cup holders in the front.

***** Goes to show how gullible and stupid customers like yourself are. That 10 year warranty is a powertrain warranty. Tell me this how many cases do you hear of engines and transmissions failing on modern day cars? That 10 year warranty is a gimmick because any manufacturer can tack that onto a car they have in their lineup. As for the bumper to bumper warranty it's still a 5 year warranty and I think the rust/perforation warranty is like 8 years which all cars offer. Also, the Kia might be new but it won't feel as solid, ride as nice, be as quiet or feel like even a CPO E350. Not saying the Kia is bad but it seems to me that Kia owners seem to think they're the next Rolls Royce with the way they behave which is unacceptable. It's like Apple fanboys even though the iPhone is excellent.

***** I have no problem with Kias but I'd buy a $20k Kia not a $45k one. My friend owns a Kia Forte and it's a good compact car. I just don't understand why they're trying to fit a square into a circle.

***** Somewhat. It just won't drive like it's worth $45k and I still don't know the longevity of the car. One thing I'm reading with a lot of Hyundai/Kia products is that the wear items are wearing out long before they do on other cars which makes me question the quality of these cars. Engines and transmissions last but I wonder about wear items like tires, brakes, wheel bearings, struts, bearings and bushings. How long will this car feel like the day it drove off the lot? Time will tell.

Djonkie Bonk Powertrain includes more than just engine and transmission. besides, this car looks really freaking good. I'd rather people see me drive this car than a typical Mercedes. Actually if i drive a MB nobody will even bother to look at the car since every dick & harry has a MB, even my aunt and cousin have one, and those cars spend more time in the repair shop than on the road. My cousin already traded hers in for a Toyota Highlander and she almost bought the new Hyundai Santa Fe.

jorge romani If anyone wants to be seen in their car no matter what the brand then they have image issues. I didn't buy my Benz to be looked at or praised. I bought it because of the solid feel, comfortable ride, quiet cabin, refined powertrain and overall I haven't had any issues with it and my Benz was built in an era when MB wasn't making their best cars (98-06). I could care less what others think since I'm the one inside the car and I'm the one who paid for it.

ther is new 2017 cadenza now

You mean Audi? A lot of European and South Korean mid-size, executive and full-size sedans have such taillights.

Also, the suspension was too hard for a full size sedan. The suspension was way too loud. The engine was smooth and powerful.

+Alex Pascutiu That's because Kia equips this car with Hankook Optimo H426 tires. These are terrible. Nothing but bad reviews on Tire Rack's website. Replacing them with a set of Pirelli Cinturato P7 all season plus or Michelin Premier A/S would alleviate all of those problems.

+TheTallMan35 yes the tires did make a huge huge difference. I literally just put on the same tires you recommended and its grips alot better. Though the steering feel is pretty numb, its probably due to the all electric power steering.
