Kia Cadenza vs. Honda Accord

 

One of the biggest differences between the Kia Cadenza and the Honda Accord is the cost. They both offer great styling and sporty handling, as well as sufficient powe. Another good selling point for both cars is their comfortable interiors that feature many new, high-tech features. Jack Daniel's Kia of Fair Lawn, NJ offers great incentives on both cars.

  

Powertrains

With a little more than 100 horsepower over the Honda Accord, it is easy to understand how much more "peppy" the Kia Cadenza is than its Japanese competitor. Its 3.3-liter, 293-horsepower V6 engine gives it lots of get-up-and-go.

With fuel prices as high as they are, however, the benefit of the Honda Accord having a smaller engine and a 6-speed manual transmission (unless you go with the Honda's optional 3.5-liter, 6-cylinder and automatic transmission), might outweigh its lack of horsepower for some fickle buyers. 

Interiors

  

The Accord's amenities would hardly be considered lacking. It dons an attractive and neat interior. The cockpit design offers much similarity to a high-end luxury car with plenty of head and legroom for your backseat passengers. You can also opt for the power adjustable, heated leather seats, which only adds to the high-end sedan feel. Dual-zone automatic climate control will keep occupants nice and comfortable.

  

Kia Cadenza Premium

 

The Kia Cadenza premium has an extensive list of luxury features and amenities, making it very comfortable. The Cadenza's interior resembles that of a high-end luxury sedan. With a well-earned, slightly higher-than-average starting price, the Cadenza offers a wealth of standard features, including dual-zone climate control, keyless ignition and entry, rear parking sensors along with a rearview camera, and a navigation system coupled with a bumping 12-speaker sound system.

 

Kia Cadenza Limited

The Cadenza Limited, on the other hand, boasts a wide range of additional features like heated power adjustable front seats; a panoramic sunroof; blind spot and lane departure systems; heated rear seats; adaptive cruise control; a heated, power adjustable steering wheel; and active Xenon headlights.

 

Body Styles

Both of these vehicles have sleek, modern, aerodynamic body styles. But while the Honda Accord makes more of an attempt at being sporty (without wavering on comfort), the Cadenza leans more in the direction of a high-end luxury sedan. This doesn't take away from its sporty handling, which rivals that of the Honda Accord. Adding to the Kia Cadenza's sportiness and sleek, luxurious design, its 19-inch polished wheels and wide, low profile tires really stand out. This combination of wheels and tires also contribute to the Cadenza's sporty stance and handling.

 

Regardless of which vehicle you decide to purchase, you should be impressed with both cars' variations on the latest in high-tech controls on their user-friendly touchscreens.
