2014 Kia Cadenza - Redline: Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Its striking good looks, luxurious cabin, and potent V6 make the all-new 2014 Cadenza "impossible to ignore" in the full-size sedan class. If you're shopping for a large sedan with classy style and a high level of feature content, this vehicle should be at the top of your list. Only buyers looking for available all-wheel drive or a more fuel-efficient 4-cylinder option will find its rivals more to their liking.

I got this 2014 fully loaded 30k miles for about 21k. It is absolute steal. I am not sure I will buy this at full sticker price at 45k but at used, it is absolute steal.
here in UAE they had promotions on the 2014 model and they were selling the fully loaded for under 30k usd. Absolute steal at this price. Have been enjoying the ride for the last 3 years.
Parliament1mg I found one for 19000 with 29k is this a good deal? I'm only 16 and this will be my first car (I already drive my dad's genesis regularly)
I've had this car for several months now. I agree with you that i could not afford this car full sticker, but i bought mine for a very similar price. Luxury package with 23k milles for 20k flat. This car has excellent value. I think its the badge that steers people away but its their loss lol.
Hows your Cadenza holding up so far?
Are you ablet o turn off the lane departure warning? How annoying is it for you? Thats almost a deal breaker for me
Can't wait until this Depreciates it's actually really nice looking
Terrance Collins think all the 14/15 ones have fallen below 20 g's but a Limited or tech package one with low milage seems to be hard to in my area...
Might as well go for the cooled seats if I'm even further away from 30 highway MPGS than just about all of the competition...
I just bought a lightly used 2010 cadenza for 10k because i needed a car in Korea. The car looks and drives like it's 1 year old. Absolute steal.
How is it looking now?
Christopher Adams or maybe they just want to save some money or couldn’t afford the car at the time? Or are just being smart with their money? You fucking idiot
Christopher Adams you called me a faggot and then delete the comment thinking I wouldn’t see it lmfao fucking Pussy. I’ll insult you some more you made a stupid comment so I called your dumbass out on it grow some balls fucking pansy
Got this bad boy on the cheap. Many people in these comments are badge snobs that only care about prestige of this or that German brand. This car isn't the best car on the block, but it is the best car in BANG FOR BUCK. Bought this car for 20k flat with 23k miles with luxury package (Basically everything except the driver assistance stuff).
Its kinda cool to drive a car thats luxurious but not really well known about. I'm probably the only person in town with a Cadenza. I get excited to see one on the road because their also probably the only one they know driving one.
Cassidey Ousley I get excited when I see other Cadenzas 😂 I have the sxl and love it.
Cassidey Ousley I've never seen one but I'm getting one in a few months
How many miles does it have and is it reliable?
I’m legit watching this video because I’m about to buy a 14 model & know absolutely nothing about kias, but from the comments down below sounds like I made a good choice
what you do is buy this car used like i did. I bought a 2014 cadenza with 17k miles on it for 23k fully loaded! excellent used car value!
This car is such a steal when buying used. I literally bought mine for a very similar price. 23k Miles for 20k flat with Luxury package. This is the underdog of near luxury cars that nobody knows about.
So far how do you like the car do you think is better than Toyota or Honda
Hello here in 2024! How are you all liking your cadenzas now?
I bought a 2015 Cadenza 4 months ago. Great car and it gets all the stares!! When u ride thru traffic people look like with is that 😂
HAHAHAHA DUDE my aunt has this and one time we were at the store and some guy walked up to us and was like “ what type of car is that? And How do I get one 🤣🤣
Do your car have apple CarPlay?
lol no they don’t.. 🤣🤣
Friend of mine has a 2007 Kia Amanti, yes I know its more or less "knock off" Mercedes. But over all she loves the car, its very quite on the road, drives really well and she's getting pretty good gas mileage considering the size of the car.
I've ridden in it and I have to say, even in the back seat it was one of the best cars I've ever ridden in.
i bought this exact same car but in pearl white and i have to admit for the money you can't beat it it really is a nice car
I'm thinking of buy an used 14' Kia Cadenza.
It’s worth it!
Love this car! Very quiet and drives very well even up to 155 mph in Wyoming and Montana. 50K on the odometer and not a single problem. Replaced tires and brakes for high performance.
I need a newer car and I'm trying to convince my wife that it's a good deal. Sometimes I'm a little late to work so I hear comfortable at 155 and I'm sold
Do you still have it? I’m looking into one myself.
@@redsaint2022 i have one. Bought at 55k at 103k now. No big problems yet. Amazing car
not gonna lie out of all the kia's this one looks pretty dope.

These 2theRedline reviews are addictive.
I have to admit you give some of the best reviews on the tube.
Kudos to Sofyan for bringing to the tube a straight forward, knowledgeable and complete review of these vehicles. I love the way he describes everything without trying to be funny or adding some other nonsense. Thank you! Exactly the way I would do if I had the time.
Kia Cadenza is a true gem and this badge should no longer be in question for quality. This is how you build credibility into your brand by giving people a solid product for an affordable price.
Features and options huge plus- top notch finish and a beautiful design. Definitely a vehicle that will establish a new base a of customers and hopefully convert some others.
I found the 19" tyres were very noisy on the highway. The steering was too disconnected and there's a dead zone on centre. The body stays fairly flat through corners but the suspension struggles on rough, Canadian roads. It almost bottomed out once on a sudden dip in the road. I loved the blind spot monitoring on the highway, it worked very well. The engine doesn't seem to have much pull down low even though the torque number is fairly good. The 2015 has movable trajectory markings on the backup camera and the passengers seat is also cooled.
I like this car. So much to offer for the price and especially when compared to the competition.
Bought my 2014 new and just turned over 100k last week. Aside from an early-on injector mis-fire (which was replaced under warranty) I haven't had a single problem with it. I do get a lot of complements. Love the interior and can drive for hours without leg and back issues. After 3 Hyundai's and 2 Kia's, I can honestly say I haven't paid for car repairs since 2002. Just pissed that Covid caused Kia to cancel the new Cadenza being sent to the US, it was a beautiful car. I'll probably be looking seriously at the new Stinger or Genesis G7 or G8 next year.
This car is a head turner. The only complaint I have is the gas mileage, which is average at best. Mine is fully loaded and has dark chrome 19 inch wheels. Beautiful vehicle. 2 things I would disagree w Sofyan about; This car is sportier than it seems. Relatively low body roll and easy acceleration . And with the 19 inch wheels you feel the road more than I expected. Th Cadenza feels relatively athletic, like the latest generation Maxima but with more space.
Im about to buy one for a very similar price and mileage. I cant find anything not to like about this car.
I love this car so much! My most beloved car from all time.
I got this same exact car fully loaded for around $14000
Miles? I see one around 70k think that's too much tho
I just saw one online in Omaha for $12k . Talk about a LOT of car for the money! And this car has MUCH more character and personality than an Accord.
1970borntorun the accord is in a in the midsize class. The cadenza is a full-size car.
This car is beyond sexy in person, The headlights look amazing at night too.
Nice car but I hope the quality will stand with time unlike my 2011 Forte that the seats are fading to white . And steeeing wheel fading also and my car parked in shaded place .
To all the haters. Wait till you get the keys.
What about the keys?
Kiwi S. Same??
I have a 2015 model premium with heating and cooling driver and front passenger seat
But besides that I love this car best car I’ve ever had smart cruise control is great blind spot monitoring is kinda spotty when rainy weather lane departures can be turned off so if you hate the noise on narrow roads I leave my lane departure on but in 2022 it still an amazing car
Kia dealer told me premium is pretty much is the technology pkg for the 2014-16 models
yay, the handicam is back!
Nothing really identical to the Impala, but it seems really similar to it. Especially along the sides. Also find it weird how the front design seems to make the car appear very narrow.
This is one of the few vehicles I've seen where only the drivers seat is cooled. The other being the 7th gen Nissan Maxima.
Nice car, but it needs an awd option
I wish he would do an Infiniti M56/Q70 review and test drive.
This car looks fantastic, but I can't get it simply because it has no foldable seats. For winter sports, or moving purposes, fold-down back seats are a must.
Holy crap I remember watching your first videos back with the xoxo channel. Man have you guys come a long way great job guys
I didn’t even know there was a on or off switch in the glove compartment 😂😂
I found this out a few days ago when I thought my trunk was broken 😂
Very luxurious and nice looking car. I never really liked Kia before but after watching this review it changed my mind. I would really love to purchase this car next year when I get my drivers license.
هلا صديق
nice thorough review of exterior, interior and drivetrain. good test drive feedback too.
Best 2014 Cadenza review on YT
Looking into 2015 with 39k miles. Anyone know how how reliability is? This market is terrible but I think this is the best value. 17.8k price.
Take it you won’t regret it
@@nathanminaj9030 I ended up leaving it since it had rust underneath. Got a clean 2018 sonata limited. with 19k miles. Loaded car for 20,800. I'm in New York so for the market I think I got a good deal. Under kbb value.
I think Cadenzas don't sell at all and won't sell at all...
This is going to be a good car to get 1 or 2 years used. Save 10 000$
its going for 25k almost brand new in the market atm
A few for 11k now under 100k miles
0-60 in 6.2 secs? Holy crap from a 3.3 N/A on a big sedan? SUch wow!
Thats not a KIA.... you cant fool us!!!! Ok, Im seriously impressed.
Nice wheel chirp at the end. :)
A lot of people just don't that this car even exists and that would be enough for me to buy one. I would love to spread the word that Kia has a full-size near luxury sedan that looks pretty good and I'm the only guy in town that drives one lol
I have this car also. It is quite odd that this car doesn't sell all that much. This isn't the best car on the block, but its the best VALUE of its competition IMO. I do however experience the same phenomenon. It kinda feels cool to be driving the only car where you live and im in the same situation. Everyone always asks what kind of car it is.
Curious, does Kia state why they have no fold down rear seat, yet the Hyundai Azera does?
2014 genesis review please
Very impressive & informative review Sofyan. I definitely like everything that the newly introduced Cadenza has to offer as it definitely makes the car a good competitor against the similar offerings that are out there :)
- Michael Land
Thank you Michael, we look forward to testing the new K900 when one become available. Glad you enjoyed the review :)
2theRedline Another amazing review sofyan! i really enjoy your videos! my mom bought a ford explorer sport and she loves it. i showed her the review of the one that you reviewed. she said your videos are great and very refine. thank you for all of your reviews! i watch all of them, and i love all of them!
+Redline Reviews which do u prefer the cadenza or the maxima
Nice review. I personally hated Kia before, but now I realize there really is no reason too. They are a company worthy of my respect. Wonderful car from a up and coming company that has my vote of confidence.
you said Infinity wasn't your favorite brand, what are your favorite brands on mid priced vehicles?
I'd like to see you take the cars you review on winding roads and then give us your feedback on handling.
We choose test drive routes based on the vehicle we test, a full-size sedan isn't built to attack twisty roads like a sport sedan. It's designed to provide a comfortable ride for highway cruising. The new Cadenza isn't bad but it's not the type of vehicle you'd want to use on a windy canyon road ;)
what do you think guys i think silver is suit the car than the blue
Could you do a review on a 2014 Santa Fe limited with tech package? Love your reviews by the way.
I really don't like Hyundai and Kia but u have to like this one.
Weird, the Amanti had auto up/down all four windows... Back in 2004!
Love your reviews Soyfan. Wish this had been done on your normal route though... a freeway is kind of blah. As for the car, why would anybody choose this over a Genesis R Spec?
The Genesis R-Spec makes a strong case for itself. We may actually choose that model for it's V8 engine and rear-drive. However, we like the styling of the Cadenza more. That being said, the Cadenza is actually based on the front-drive Azera while the new K900 will be Kia's version of the Genesis/Equus.
I couldn't concentrate on the video because of background, I live in that area and it looks so familiar!
does the premium have standard led lights?
Not a big fan of the Kia but props to them they're playing hard these days. Looks great.
always great reviews !!!
Really great reviewer, can you review the Infiniti M56 S please?
nice review as always, looks good man! what's the beginning music from Sofyan?
opening tune. Whats the name? Thanks in advance
Out of the 4 comparative cars, which one has the softest ride, Kia,Toyota, Buick, or Acura ?
Sjrick acura
Kia does
That's a nice looking KIA! What car do you have Sofyan? Btw gongraz 40 k subscribers.
What car do you rev up for the start credits? It sounds so familiar, but I can't put my finger on it......
You should have a pretty good guess from the look of your username ;)
+Redline Reviews That's like telling a blind man to pick a certain color out of a 32 count crayon box. Could you be a little more specific?
A very stylish looking all around good car. The rims are awesome as well.
Nice wheel chirp ;)
What's the name of the song in the beginning of this video? Thank you
Umed Wynn You can find the song title in the description :)
You mentioned you're not crazy about Infiniti sound systems . I'm curious what brands you like?
We prefer Bang and Olufsen, Bose, or Mark Levinson... we've got an editor who is tough to please for audio systems. To the average consumer, Infinity would sound just fine, but to those who are pure audiophiles, it may sound a bit lackluster.
+Redline Reviews There are no audiophiles in automobiles nor ones that purchase Bose junk.
What about Nakamichi lol
big like before i see the review :D
I am about to buy one, guess what...the same car without adaptive cruise control, lane departure and blind spot cost 29700$ in dubai at the moment. While I would love to have those functions, 12,000$ discount for not having those seems like a good deal.
Value is the biggest selling point on this car.
Good review, thanks
in case i missed it how is the road noise and wind noise? My 2012 Optima SX is pretty bad... and the suspension is pretty stiff... How is the cadenza compared to the 2015 Genesis 3.8 compared in cabin noise?
Genesis is a little quieter than this cadenza.
+Bo Vorachack the suspension is also soft.
+Fyah King the Genesis isn't really in this class of car. It really is a bit of a step up from the cadenza and not really fair to compare. But the road noise is improved when i changed the tires from the stock hankook ones. They aren't that well received in online reviews.
they should remove all the KIA badges like Hyundai did with the equus so people will more likely be duped into a purchase.
I never noticed that lol GOOD point!
we'll you still know you're going to a hyundai/kia dealer so idk if its trickery but true the other badges are very deceiving.
but those who don't know that much about cars will think you're Mr. Fancy pants!
The new genesis still has the hyundai badge in the back. Who cares about the badges anymore? you are not gonna get ahead in life by driving a more expensive car, this isnt the 90's anymore Hyundais and Kias are well built and very reliable. besides i think Hyundai and Kia produce this cars for a different target of people........the kind of people that want a good value car without sacrificing the luxury and comfort
what's the deal with the badges? Kia is already a luxury brand anyway, without removing their badges.
Where are the cupholders for driver!? I'd hate to say no because of that but Damn! Gotta have my water.
trina crawford I have one it has 2 cup holders in the front.
Amazing car
40,000 subscribers amazing
Hi SOFYAN, I've been watching your vlog for a while now and I really like your program, btw are Indonesian .. your name is familiar name in Indonesia especially Padang names...
They really looked hard at VAG when building this one. The exterior has a VW understatement to it, down to the A8 esque spoke wheels. The white/black INTERIOR color scheme is out of a CC/Jetta. The problem with these Korean cars is that they still haven't found their own soul, I had this car as a rental and while it's a refined car, it doesn't have the planted refined feel you get in any Audi or VW. Also the white seats were already getting dirty, at 6K miles...there's no free lunch, you want the real deal, buy a used CPO A6 - better in every way
Well this makes sense, because Kia hired a former AUDI designer to design their cars.
"you want the real deal, buy a used CPO A6 - better in every way" = You want the real deal, pay more money. Like telling a guy he should have bought the Ferrari over the Toyota.
They have found their Soul ! I have one a 2014 Soul+ it now has 50,000 miles on it and it's the most trouble free car I have owned. KIA has come a long way . They have reason to be proud of their growth.
Want the name of the song!
please do a 2014 camaro
That k900 is dope tho
im going to buy tomorrow!!
Did you end up buying? Are you enjoying it still?
Gold video
I'm confused. 1/2 the time the reviewer speaks to "luxury cars" but then compares it to a Ford Taurus?? I didn't know the Taurus was a luxury vehicle. It's like part of the time it's being compared to Merecedes/BMW/Audi, and the other 1/2 it's compared to Buick and Ford. Which is it? Sharp car and the reviewer seems to like it fairly well.
***** I understand that may be the intent, but Lexus is Toyota, Audi is VW, Lincoln is Ford... and so on. So it is possibly an "inbetweener"? Not quite a BMW, Lincoln, Audi, but above a Buick? And how does one compare? I like this car!
Thankyou
Great car I have the exact same car
The song matches the whole car
Does it really cost that much more to have both driver and front passenger seats ventilated? Come on Kia. Oh, and Great Review Sofyan!
Kia fixed that in the later model Cadenza's. Glad you enjoyed the review :)
They're both ventilated in the 2014 model, for the SXL trim

How can I get in contact with you?
Hi Brandon,
Feel free to send us a message via the contact form on our website, 2theRedline.com
Looks like a knock m45 like the sports m45
The intro EDM music is a little annoying, and immature. /Drive has some good contemporary tracks.
Well done sir
Please review the Infinity Q50 sport. I'm dying to hear your feedback about the steering.
i like this style better
2theRedline could you try to do a 2014 camaro 2ss
lovely front
verry nice
Just drove one yesterday. I thought the driving experience was horrible. The steering had no feel. I have never driven a car with steering as bad as this car. The interior and the exterior are very nice but the driving experience needs to be worked on
Also, the suspension was too hard for a full size sedan. The suspension was way too loud. The engine was smooth and powerful.
+Alex Pascutiu That's because Kia equips this car with Hankook Optimo H426 tires. These are terrible. Nothing but bad reviews on Tire Rack's website. Replacing them with a set of Pirelli Cinturato P7 all season plus or Michelin Premier A/S would alleviate all of those problems.
+TheTallMan35 yes the tires did make a huge huge difference. I literally just put on the same tires you recommended and its grips alot better. Though the steering feel is pretty numb, its probably due to the all electric power steering.
That interior is going to show it's age very quickly. The plastic chrome and silver lining which circles everything plus all of those curved/circular buttons will be outdated quickly. That look is already starting to be a bit outdated, and that steering wheel needs a refresh. It's very pre 2010.
ther is new 2017 cadenza now
sounds really loud on the highway.
It's actually a VERY quiet ride.
And this is not even the flagship, the flagship is the k9 (k900) in USA. This is the k7 in the korean market.
