The south Korean carbuilder basking in the world wide success of its Optima sedan is now aiming even higher with the soon to be released Kia Cadenza.

With a 50 mm longer wheelbase the Cadenza also extends beyond the Optima by 132 mm.

This full-size luxury sedan comfortably seats five passengers in a spacious and sumptuously appointed interior brimming with American style extravagance.

The powertrain uses a 3.3l direct injected V6 producing 293 horsepower coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission.
