The luxury sedan which goes by the name of K7 in Korea, the Kia Cadenza (also called the VG Sedan) has hit the web with its first images and a limited set of details. This sporty and sleek luxury sedan takes inspiration from the KND-5 Concept with external features like an LED headlight surrounds, a bold grille and an upscale design.

However, a lot more work has been done on the interior of the Kia Cadenza where the floating dash is glorified with some avant-garde high-tech adaptations that include a heating steering wheel, automatic defogging of the windshield and ventilated front seats. The engine choices will probably include a 175 hp 2.4-liter Theta four-cylinder and a 273 hp 3.5-liter Lambda V6. These engines will power both the FWD and AWD options. This design upgrade as per the company officials is reflective of the continuing evolution in Kia’s striking design language where the lights and lines are blended.

What we’d like to know right now is the price this jewel will run for.

This time there are no spy shots for the Kia VG Sedan, instead, a set of renderings revealing many facets of this saloon have surfaced. Slated to compete with the likes of the Volkswagen Passat, this sedan will replace the current product model Avanti. The renderings reveal Kia’s signature H-shape front grille with LED lights. Ironically, this is what the images reveal for it is more of a teaser. Other things known about the car is the engine option- a 3.5-litre V6 Lambda and the car will be based on the next-gen Hyundai Azera platform. It will pip the Amanti in the luxury quotient with a roomier interior and better material usage. FWD will be s definite option and it is being speculated that a Haldex AWD system will also be offered.
