The Cadenza features advanced active safety systems

designed to help give you peace of mind every time you

drive.† Each one is engineered to help you maintain con-

trol, even in harsh road conditions and in some emergency

situations. These safety systems are designed to function

automatically, leaving you free to focus on safe driving.

No system, no matter how advanced, can compensate for all driver error and/or driving conditions. Always drive responsibly. CADENZA PREMIUM MODEL SHOWN. Some features may vary.

The Cadenza is equipped with passive safety

systems designed to help minimize injury when

certain traffic accidents are unavoidable. An

advanced airbag system helps protect driver

and passengers with dual front, front and rear

seat-mounted side, and full-length side-cur-

tain airbags. Cadenza wraps all of this — and

you — in a protective, high-strength, tensile

steel-reinforced body that absorbs impact

energy to help protect you in case of a collision.

SPECIFICATIONS

Starting with the 2015 model year, Natural Resources Canada in conjunction with the

automotive manufacturers, have introduced a new testing procedure that will result in higher

fuel consumption ratings that are more representative of everyday driving. Kia Canada is one

of the first automotive manufacturers to implement the new testing practice and would like to

ensure you fully understand the difference. The new procedure incorporates 3 additional test

cycles that account for air conditioner usage, cold temperature operation, and higher speeds

with more rapid acceleration and braking.
