For a vehicle to be considered for the top rating, it must earn a collection of ratings ranging from “acceptable” to “superior” and “advanced” among many categories. Some of the crash tests include side impact, roof strength, and head restraints. Other safety tests that are administered include crash prevention and headlight rating.

The Cadenza has also been in the news for its newest television commercial, starring red-headed bombshell Christina Hendricks. In the commercial, Hendricks exits a lavish building with multiple drivers waiting anxiously next to various luxury vehicles (Audi, Lexus, and BMW). Ultimately, the star walks past all of them and decides to drive herself, in the 2017 Kia Cadenza, leaving all of the drivers puzzled.
