2019 Toyota Avalon vs. 2019 Kia Cadenza

Classified as large sedans, the 2019 Toyota Avalon and 2019 Kia Cadenza both are very classy to look at from the outside. This makes them truly an endearing choice for car buyers in Stamford. However, beyond how they look, there is a lot more to discover. This comparison will help you realize why the Avalon has been a popular choice when pitted against the Cadenza.

Design & Style

A large car that seats up to five people comfortably, there is plenty of room to move around inside the 2019 Toyota Avalon. This comfort translates to relaxation even during a long day of travel. Its interior boosts a lot of functionalities too, all mounted neatly on its dashboard. You can note too that it has been gifted with a well-planned interior that speaks much about the luxury that it can offer.

Perfected to offer a shiny, shimmery, splendid look on the outside, the 2019 Kia Cadenza looks promising, at least on its exterior. Inside it, you will find some hits and misses though. You may love it for the amount of legroom that it offers but you will surely hate it for lack of headroom, with the sunroof to blame for that. The trunk is also quite small for this car.

Technology & Safety

In terms of technology and safety, the 2019 Toyota Avalon topples the 2019 Kia Cadenza, once more. It has the fine-tuned Entune infotainment interface which works well with its 9-inch touchscreen, USB ports, satellite radio, and audio system. You can never fault it for its user-friendly system too that offers Apple CarPlay smartphone integration. When it comes to safety, a fusion of the basic aids, including rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, and rearview camera, with those found under the Toyota Safety Sense Plus Suite, makes this car even more interesting.

As for the 2019 Kia Cadenza, that 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system gives it a boost, along the lines of technology. The 360-degree parking camera, together with adaptive cruise control, add plus points to it too. However, this car lacks execution mainly because of the wonky menu on its infotainment system.

Performance

When it comes to engine performance, nothing beats the power given off by the six-cylinder, 3.5-liter engine of the 2019 Toyota Avalon. This allows the car to reach maximum horsepower of 301 with a torque pegged up to 267lb-ft. This exemplary show of power by the Avalon's engine makes the 2019 Kia Cadenza lag behind. It has a 3.3, V6 under the hood but can only reach up to a maximum of 290 horsepower and 253lb-ft of torque.

The Bottom Line

There is a lot of reasons to love the 2019 Avalon and choose it over the 2019 Cadenza. It offers a great mix of design and style with those of technology and safety features. Of course, it also has the power to take you to tough roads.
