Kia Cadenza
The Kia Cadenza delivers affordable luxury. European styling, quality materials and a comprehensive list of equipment make it a worthy contender in its segment. It’s not part of the sporty German sedan segment, but rather the same group as the Acura, Buick or Lexus sedans. Available with a 293-hp V6 and six-speed automatic, this front-wheel driver offers a lot of strong selling points. A touch more torque would make passing manoeuvres nicer, however.
