I leased a 2014 Cadenza, first in this area, and it was the Premium model, also it had the Luxury and Technology option packages. I was told this car was Kia's attempt to give Lexus, Audi etc. competition. I was shown the white LED light in the headlight assembly and told that was the DRLs; however, that is not true. These are 'position lights'. I discovered on my own that the DRLs are bright LEDs, and I can see where they would go if I had them. They are not there. How can anyone produce a higher end car, loaded with options (like fog light, panoramic sun roof, moveable headlights to follow curves in the road, departure from lane detections, NAV system and much much more; yet they don't provide what has become almost a standard feature for safety, Daytime Running Lights!!! I have told the salesman (a friend) that had I known this I would NOT have leased the car. I get a discount on my insurance for DRLs. So they are costing me money plus I do not have the use of them, which increases my safety on the road. I am very displeased with Kia, to have made such a beautiful car and then not put a feature like DRLs on it is a crime.

Especially in 21st century, most cars have DRL lights. But it seems like KIA is not interested saving people on roads because that was only made to prevent accidents.
