The mid-size SUV segment is an ever-popular one, thanks to all the cool things these vehicles can do. Not only can they typically go off-road in AWD versions and tow a couple thousand pounds or more, they also can fit a large group and provide horsepower that makes lane changes and acceleration a snap. You also get cargo room to fit large objects or stow enough bags for a family trip or a move to a new house, for starters.

The large luxury sedan class is a Mt. Olympus of vehicle ownership for many drivers. However, circumstances often work against this dream of class and style becoming a reality for car buyers. For example, it may be wiser to buy a hatchback for college, a minivan for family-hauling, or an SUV for versatility. But you're here now, searching for a luxurious sedan; that means you've scaled the peak to find out what true refinement and comfort is. In other words, you're looking at vehicles like the Kia Cadenza and the Nissan Maxima. Contact us to learn more about these innovative models in person!

"Cadenza" means a virtuoso solo passage, which suits this new Kia Cadenza well, as it takes center stage with elegant touches like its two available front grilles, and it delivers audio bliss with its available 12-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system. On the other hand, "Maxima" is the plural form of maximum, which also suits the Nissan Maxima, since it comes with a maximum starting price.
The 2018 Kia Cadenza boasts a stylish design, the first of its second generation that will dazzle on the road to any adventure. The 2018 Toyota Avalon adds new tech to the latest version of this large sedan, but it's the 2018 Cadenza which is the star of this epic sedan showdown, with so many new amenities we'll only be able to cover but a few before we run out of room.

The Kia Cadenza has a new, re-tuned powertrain that enhances fuel economy. It also gets a first-ever 8-speed, FWD-based transmission in a Kia model. These extra gears aren't just for show: They provide a smoother, higher-performance driving experience. The Avalon is lagging behind with its 6-speed transmission, and it also falls short with its higher MSRP. Why wait? Schedule a test drive of the new Cadenza at our Kia dealership in Augusta, GA.
