STORY

Cadenza is the export name of the Kia K7, a front-drive full-size sedan that replaced the Opirus, sold as the Amanti in North America. The K7 debuted in Korea in 2009. In January 2013 Kia announced that North America would get the Cadenza from the 2014 model year as a counterpart to the Hyundai Azera, with a direct-injection 3.3-litre V6 as the main engine there. The second generation went into production in fall 2016 and reached North America as a 2017 model. North American sales ended after the 2020 model year.
