The Kia Optima GT model lists at $43,290 plus on-roads - a $1200 price drop compared to the pre-facelift model.
Over the Si, the GT has a new 8.0-inch media screen with extended smartphone connectivity and in-built sat nav (with 10 years of maps included and SUNA live traffic updates), and it also gains redesigned LED headlights but they lose the smart auto high-beam assistance of the old model.
Other standard kit in the GT includes leather seats, electric driver’s seat adjustment with memory settings, smart key (keyless entry) and push button start, a sports body kit, a Harman Kardon audio system with 10 speakers and a subwoofer, wireless phone charging (Qi) but no WiFi hotspot, rear sunshades (but no tinted windows), different interior trim finishes, a heated steering wheel, and a colour driver-information screen.
But compared with the pre-facelift model, there are some missing items: the front passenger seat is now manually operated (previously electric), the cooling/ventilation of the front seats has been deleted, and the panoramic sunroof of the previous model is gone, too. And while it rides on 18-inch rims with a new design, the tyre-pressure-monitoring system has been removed.
Safety for the GT includes driver-fatigue monitoring and an active lane-keeping assistance system (in place of the old lane-departure-warning buzzer). It also has auto emergency braking (AEB), a reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors and adaptive cruise control.
The Optima GT is powered by a 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder engine with 180kW and 350Nm. It also has a six-speed auto gearbox, and is FWD. Fuel use is claimed at 8.5L/100km.
