Kia Cadenza (2013)


CAR GARAGE | Kia Cadenza (2013) | The 2013 Kia Cadenza holds no surprises in the chassis department. Suspension comprises coil springs, front struts, rear multilink arrangement and a That is claimed to be more compact than Amanti's hardware to the benefit of useable rear-seat room and trunk space. U.S. models will come with almost Certainly integrated ABS and an antiskid system with traction control, safety features Kia That has been rolling out as standard across its entire North American lineup. Like Amanti, the Cadenza should have standard front and rear side airbags and curtain side airbags. With its emphasis on contemporary style, plus Likely improvements in fuel economy, performance, and readability, the 2013 Kia Cadenza should be light-years better than the Amanti, the which we've described as being like "large American cars of the 1970s ..." Indeed, the Cadenza seems a calculated to do for Kia in the near-luxury sedan Genesis what the league has done for parent Hyundai in the premium-large-car class.


Inside, the 2013 Kia Cadenza BMW-ish sports a dashboard, with separate curved cowls over the gauge cluster and center stack. Kia touts an export-model "welcome system" that activates "puddle lamps" in the door mirrors and an interior "mood-lighting strip" that runs across the dash and onto the door panels to create a "warm ambiance." This sounds like the "light-pipe" Accents available on newer GM models like the Cadillac CTS sedan and premium-midsize sporty / performance Chevrolet Camaro. Unlike the Amanti with its "Korean-Buick" look, the 2013 Kia Cadenza has an almost European aesthetic - no surprise, as the styling was supervised by company design chief Peter Schreyer, recruited a few years ago from Volkswagen and Audi.


Body sides are marked by prominent wheel arches and a high-set crease line That flows up from the front doors and through the door handles before fading away in the rear flanks. There's also a premium-class touch LED running lamps in both front and rear. If not drop-dead gorgeous, the Cadenza is real eye candy compared to the Amanti. Engines for the 2013 Kia Cadenza should involve a V6 and possibly a base 4-cylinder. Some sources believe the latter will be the familiar 200-horsepower 2.4-liter that's standard for the Kia Optima midsize sedan's current.


Kia, like Hyundai, is known for technical innovation, so do not look for any gee-whiz features or much original content in the 2013 Kia Cadenza. Of course, competitors also do these things, but with arguably the Greater style, Hence the Koreans' new focus on more-expressive design, evident in the 2011 Hyundai Sonata and the Kia Cadenza now. We Mentioned That the Cadenza is not the large rear-drive Kia sedan that's been rumored in some quarters. Some scribes even attached a name to this model: K9, a logical extension of the K7/Cadenza name.


Kia claims the V6 Cadenza will do 0-60 mph in about 7.1 seconds and return 25 mpg overall. The large-car field is fairly small and getting smaller, as the aging Buick Lucerne and Mercury Grand Marquis we recently dropped. That leaves the just-redesigned Buick LaCrosse and Ford Taurus as Cadenza's strongest opponents. As noted, that large V6-powered front-drive sedan is expected to be redesigned on the Cadenza platform - spy photographers snapped prototypes test back in mid-2008 - but the US-market timing is unclear.

2012 Kia Soul - Review


It's a compact car that could arguably be called a wagon, but the 2012 Kia Soul's styling, attitude, and options lists position it as something far, far different--not to mention the music-loving hamsters who appears in its TV ads.

The compact "small box" hatchback is roomy, inexpensive, and relatively frugal on gasoline. Its funky sheetmetal is wrapped around a tall cabin that positions the driver high enough to feel like he or she is piloting a small-ish crossover. There's superb headroom, though front-seat occupants may find the wide console trims a bit too much room off their ability to sit with a wide stance.

In the rear, the tall doors make entry and exit much easier than for compact sedans, especially those with fashionably drooping rooflines. The rear bench seat will hold a pair of adults or three kids--and with the rear seat folded forward, there's a substantial 53 cubic feet of cargo space. The load floor is low, and the only drawback to the Soul style is the thick rear roof pillars, which drastically limit rear-quarter vision.

The based engine is a 1.6-liter four whose power has risen to 135 horsepower this year. It's not a particularly speedy set of wheels, but with either the six-speed manual gearbox that comes standard or the optional automatic transmission, it's rated at 27 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, giving a combined 30 mpg. If you fit the optional Eco package, consisting of one of the first start-stop systems sold in the U.S. (only offered with the automatic), those numbers rise incrementally, to 29 mpg city, 36 mpg highway--or 32 mpg combined.

The more powerful engine is a 164-hp 2.0-liter four, which can be fitted either with the six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. Either variant is rated at 26 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, for a combined 29-mpg rating. Add the start-stop system, and ratings rise to 27 city, 35 highway, for a combined 30 mpg. The larger engine gives the Soul a bit more pep in urban-combat driving, and a slightly more relaxed feel for highway cruising.

The 2012 Kia Soul has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and it comes with six airbags standard, along with the usual array of electronic safety systems, including stability control and antilock brakes. Laudably on a car this inexpensive, a rear-view camera is now an option. The NHTSA, however, gives the 2012 Soul four stars out of five overall, with four-star ratings for frontal crash and rollover results, but five stars in side-crash testing.

Befitting its young and digital target audience, a USB port is standard on the Kia Soul. So are power windows, locks, and mirrors, and satellite radio. Optional fittings include HD radio, a navigation system, and Kia's voice-activated control system, known as UVO, which lets drivers run certain features of the navigation, audio, and mobile phone systems via voice recognition and steering-wheel controls.

Against the other boxy hatchbacks--including the aging Scion xB, the Nissan Cube, and others--the Kia Soul stands out as the most practical and versatile of the bunch. We think its optional Eco start-stop system sets it apart as well.
