Kia Cadenza
What it says about you
Opinion
A quiet, plush saloon almost nobody knew Kia made. You know, and you got it cheap.
Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.
7 model years on record, 216 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 2. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.
The years to look at closely: 2014 (control). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.
Every year
- 2020 1 recall 0 complaints
- 2019 1 recall 5 complaints
- 2018 1 recall 7 complaints
- 2017 2 recalls 32 complaints
- 2016 2 recalls 14 complaints
- 2015 2 recalls 48 complaints
- 2014 control 110 complaints
Source: NHTSA complaints, recalls and investigations, retrieved . A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints — compared against itself rather than against other cars, so popularity and age do not decide the answer.
