Charlie, I always worry that when you go around that blind corner, a dump truck is going to hit you head on. Please be careful! I want to see more of your great videos!
💖Beautiful Car inside and out!! I'm very impressed with the interior, very high quality lots of room, my only thing is the horsepower is just tooo low for me... But never the less a nice sedan! Charlie, very detailed review... Man u getting better and better.. I think I only watch u and one other guy ... But man u are #1
Yes, Chris. this is hybrid model, so number wise it is not impressive. But if you do drive it, it doesn't feel weak both from the city driving and also on the highway, because 38kW motor just gives you instant push right off the bat. Thank you Chris for your kind words. I am working on it!!!! ^^
Hi Charlie, it seems that the Optima has really become more upscale. What reasons would you go for the Cadenza rather than the Optima hybrid? They both use a lot of high gloss plastic in the center area, leather, and high fuel efficiency. Is it just the space? Is the Cadenza a lot quieter than the Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima hybrid?
Well, Kia Cadenza is larger, quitter and with bigger trunk space. And i think design is tailored for more older people with Cadenza. So, but yeah Kia Optima is really nice car, too. Thanks Kevin.
Hey Charlie. Thanks for the review. Any idea if the refreshed Cadenza and Cadenza hybrid will make it to Canada/US? I just noticed Kia Canada's website doesn't show the Cadenza anymore. If I was shopping for a G80 the Cadenza hybrid seems like it could be a good alternative if Genesis doesn't offer any hybrid models.
I love the changes they made to the K7! But compared to the new Grandeur, it's not so nice. Usually, I like the Kia model rather than the Hyundai model. But not in this case. Thanks for the review Charlie!
Yes, i think Hyundai made more radical design changes, while Kia stayed with more conservative approach. But i guess it is matter of choice. thank you John.
Nice look. I was expecting a place for spare tires because the current optima hybrid used that space for battery. The toyota camry and honda accord and also the new sonata hybrid followed that design. Seems if kia used a smaller battery on this cadenza they will get worse efficiency and decided not to have a clear wheel well?
Yes, you are right. This hybrid system is carried over, that is probably why. But the new Sonata has battery under the rear seats. Not sure about the battery size. I am sure engineer thought about both efficiency and cost. Thank you Ming for tuning in. And please do support us by subscribing. thank you.

Hi Riste. Yes, this new Kia Cadenza looks nice at very competitive pricing. Thank you for tuning in. And please do support us by subscribing. And Happy New Year!
I like how Kia/Hyundai make their hybrids more powerful than standard variants or at least, as powerful. Many hybrids cheap out on performance but Kia/Hyundai don't as I want something that is enjoyable, just more fuel economical though I am surprised it only makes 159hp as a 2.4L when other 2.0L Nu Engine can make the same amount. It looks very foggy like lots of smoke has blown over from China. Still not as bad pollution as Australia at the moment though, we have severe problem at the moment :)
glad you like this Cadenza with hybrid system. Yes it was very bad day when we were recording. So, it made me think about environment once again. Thank you Jay.
The Cadenza hybrid should be using 18" wheels and tires, so should the Optima. Other manufacturers are doing that now. My 2017 Optima hybrid is running on 225/50 17" tires and it is also has lowering springs installed. Rides and handles much better now. The Cadenza would do better with larger wheels and tires.
Well. Yes. 18inch is offered. But our tester had 17inchs. I guess they wanted to give us Cadenza hybrid that return most efficiency. Thank you. Waynerm
Well for this new Cadenza headroom is pretty okay. I just test drove new Optima or K5 and that guy really tight on the 2nd row seats. Thank you for tuning in. And please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
I like the car, just not a fan of the grille, maybe a blackout grille would be nice, and make the grille smaller because they are going a bit overboard like bmw lol.
안녕하세요 , I like your channel. Thanks for the good work. It would be better if you share both metric and imperial system values. Ok, i understand 0-60mph is 0-100kmh but i don't know what 6 foot 2 inches is equal to metric system. If you like to be an international channel for all over the world, i suggest you to do so. Thank you.
Yes, 6.2inches means 187cm. Thank you for tuning in I will try to be more careful with units. Thank you Sabri for tuning in. And please do support us by subscribing. thank you.
hahahah. Yes, i don't think Uber is going to accept me. >.< Glad you like new Cadenza. Thank you Jack. And please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.
Yes. It’s got lots of high glossy materials near the center facial and around the gear selector. But it is less scratch than i thought it would be. Thank you Michael.

When do you go out for these test drives? I never see another car on the road.

Kia has refined the Cadenza sedan nicely. Cheers !
Yes. This new Cadenza hybrid not only looks good but also is very efficient. Thank you Marc.

So happy Kia modernized that Cadenza interior and finally got rid of that analog clock. It looks so much better.
Yes. This new cadenza has very nice interior. Thank you wayne.
That is unfortunate. That is one of my favorite things of the cadenza. It gave mine very classy feel.

Really cool car, but If you ask me, back seat headroom is pretty compromised ... You almost touching the ceiling...

Kia gotta stop with these glossy surfaces unless it's wood or metal. It's dirt and fingerprint magnet. BTW, Hyundai and Kia need more hybrid SUVs.
Yes. It’s got lots of high glossy materials near the center facial and around the gear selector. But it is less scratch than i thought it would be. Thank you Michael.
Knockoff BMW 7 series.

too much piano black finish!
Yes, but this press car, Cadenza had about 15,000km and the piano black finishes seem to hold up very nicely. Thank you
looks like a bmw 🤔
Wow, Kia getting confused with BMW. Glad you like the new Cadenza. Thank you.
That’s very slow!
Well, it's a hybrid model. This Cadenza is good for efficiency. thank you steve.
I get it, though many hybrids are faster than some of the gas versions of the same model.
That’s a great point! I didn’t watch long enough to hear the mpg’s.
Gossip Heart got me.;) You’re a genius and a jackass.😂
