how come everyone is following the design cues of the european makes. Why cant europeans follow the asian makes? but really nice looking car from kia.

The Cadenza is powered by a 3.5-litre V6 engine boasting 290hp and 338 Nm of torque. The power is passed to the front wheels via a six speed automatic transmission. Performance has been enhanced over the predecessor with an all-new and more compact suspension system and a lower kerb weight of 1575kg. The car will now propel from 0-100 km/h in 7.2 seconds before hitting a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph). Two more gasoline engines will also be available, including an entry level unit with 165hp.

hmm. IMO interior not very impressive though. Simply put, it lacks design flair for a flagship car.

You know, I have been looking closely at the superb recently. In comparison, the 3.6 litre superb produces about 30 less hp, but more torque (350Nm), and a 6 speed DSG, but boast a century sprint of 6.2 s & top speed of 250km/h, furthermore it's almost 1.7ton in kerb weight. It's not turbocharged (only the 1.8l is). What accounts for this gap in performance? I think the clue is the 350Nm is from 2500-5000 rpm, almost turbo-like performance.

 

Anyway good effort from kia. If it comes in, hopefully it won't be another stripped down version. This is never gonna be a best seller here anyway, and stripping it down will lower its appeal even more.

WOW! Nice car, great design + 3.5L V6!!

 

Wonderful... but it'll flop in sg due to road tax

[Ferraricalifornia]

the K7 also has 2.4L 175bhp, the engine you'll see on the upcoming Sorento R...

our camry is actually comparable to the lexus es350, that why borneo decided to take the lexus es off the product line
