Hey, Harrisburg drivers, are you ready for summer yet? We're willing to bet you simply can't wait for sunshine and trips to the beach, but we're going to give you just one more reason to get excited. It's called the Kia Cadenza, and it's on its way to dealerships in the middle of this year.

It's just as sleek-looking as the impressively redesigned Optima, but it's a bit more luxurious than what you're used to seeing from the Korean automaker.

Powered by a 3.5-liter, V6 engine, the Cadenza is poised to be powerful and fuel-efficient when mated to a six-speed shiftable automatic transmission. It will, of course, come standard with stability and traction control, as well as Electronic brake force distribution.

Given that it's only March, we don't have a much more information about the Cadenza just yet. But the reviewers over at Edmunds.com are saying that "Just on styling alone, the 2013 Kia Cadenza is a vast improvement upon the Amanti it replaces. Add in more power and improvements throughout, and this new flagship may begin to challenge more established and distinguished sedans."¹

Kia says of their new sedan, "Take up-to-the-minute technology and blend it with luxury and style. What emerges is the Kia Cadenza - a car that at once seduces and reassures with its innovative attention to detail, distinctive lines and dynamic presence."2

In other words: expect more of the same impressive styling and performance that you've come to expect from Kia.

Be sure to stay tuned with Turner Kia, 4201 Chambers Hill Rd Harrisburg, PA 17111 to learn more about the Cadenza and any other new Kia models rolling into Kia showrooms this summer.
