Safe driving in Calgary is part driver and part car. You, as the driver, need to be alert and focused. Meanwhile, your car needs to be constructed to protect you in an accident, and utilize technology to prevent them from happening. The 2017 Kia Cadenza fits the bill, having earned the highest Top Safety Pick Plus rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

The IIHS determines their Top Safety Pick Plus selections by putting vehicles through five crashworthiness tests, including small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraints; plus evaluations on front crash prevention and headlights. In order to earn the Top Safety Pick Plus moniker, a vehicle has to earn "good" ratings in all five crash tests, "advanced" or "superior" ratings in front crash prevention, and a "good" rating for headlights.

The new Cadenza met all of those high standards, thanks to its high-tensile strength steel construction, and multiple airbags placed throughout the vehicle's interior. Safety technology like Blind Spot Detection and Autonomous Emergency Braking work to stop an accident before it even happens.

Put your focus on roadway safety by exploring the new Kia selection available at South Trail Kia, and take the 2017 Kia Cadenza for a test drive!
