2017 Kia Cadenza vs. 2017 Nissan Maxima
The large luxury sedan class is a Mt. Olympus of vehicle ownership for many drivers. However, circumstances often work against this dream of class and style becoming a reality for car shoppers. For example, it might be wiser to purchase a hatchback for college, a minivan for your family, or an SUV for versatility. But you're here now, which means you've been hard at work and you've scaled the peak to find out what true luxury and comfort is. In other words, you're looking at vehicles like the 2017 Kia Cadenza and the 2017 Nissan Maxima.
"Cadenza" means a virtuoso solo passage, which suits this 2017 Kia Cadenza well, as it sparkles with fashionable touches like its two available front grilles, and it positively leaps with its available 12-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system. On the other hand, "Maxima" is the plural form of maximum, which also suits the 2017 Nissan Maxima, which offers a maximum starting price at $33,645 at the competition. Friendly Kia offers a VIP Price that is thousands less than the competition at $28,445.

Find a Virtuoso of a Sedan with the Cadenza in Tampa, Clearwater and St. Petersburg FL
The 2017 Kia Cadenza is an all-new redesign that has been shown off at New York Fashion Week events and at the Active Lifestyle Vehicle awards show in Chandler, AZ. The latter location is where the 2017 Cadenza won Active Lifestyle Vehicle of the Year for the "Luxury On-Road" category. The 2017 Maxima did not win this honor, which shows the 2017 Cadenza to be in a class all by itself, thanks to features like an available wireless smartphone charger and its spacious 107.8 cubic feet of passenger room. That demolishes the 2017 Maxima's paltry 98.6 cubic feet for passengers, which is less than what many sedans offer.
