Kia has released a new sedan model called the K8, which replaces the Cadenza (also known as the K7 in global markets).
The K8 features Kia's new logo and design language.
We don't expect to see this car come to the U.S., as Kia dropped the Cadenza from its lineup on our shores recently.
Kia just killed off its Cadenza large sedan in the U.S., which means we aren't likely to get its replacement, called the K8 (the Cadenza was called the K7 globally). And that's a shame, because the K8 features an elegant design and looks like it could be a worthy competitor to sedans like the Lexus ES.
The K8 is slightly longer than the car it replaces. It continues with a front-wheel-drive, transverse-engine layout but now offers all-wheel drive as an option with the top engine choice, a 3.5-liter V-6 with 296 hp. Less powerful 2.5-liter and turbo 1.6-liter inline-four engines are also offered. An eight-speed automatic is standard with the 3.5L and 2.5L engines.
