We finally having pricing and other information for the 2017 Kia Cadenza. The second generation of the premium full-size sedan is actually cheaper, which is great news since it also gains features.

There are three trims for 2017: Premium, Technology and Limited. The Premium has more standard equipment than the outgoing base trim. More driver assistance systems are bundled into the Technology, like autonomous emergency braking and pedestrian detection. LED lights are also included. With the Limited, you get a head-up display (HUD) and surround view monitor, plus Nappa leather upholstery, heated rear seats, a powered trunk lid and distinct 19-inch alloy wheels.

Kia says there will be a few optional packages. They bundle together different premium features like a Harmon Kardon surround sound system with 12 speakers or a panoramic sunroof.

Beginning MSRP for the Premium is $31,990 and $38,990 for the Technology. Popping for the Limited will set you back $44,390. Kia is of course pushing the new Cadenza as a real deal and huge value compared to alternatives from Europe and Japan. Most people considering a Lexus or Mercedes-Benz won’t give Kia even a first look, but this kind of a message is great for the real target market.
