The Kia Optima is a midsize sedan from South Korea that was introduced to the Australian market in 2001.
The Optima shares its platform, and many of its components, with its sister car: the Hyundai Sonata.
Targeted at other midsized sedans such as the Hyundai Sonata, Toyota Camry, Mazda6, Ford Mondeo, Skoda Octavia, and Holden Commodore, the Optima features a big boot and a comfortable ride.
A six-speed torque converted automatic is the only transmission for both the naturally-aspirated and turbocharged petrol engines.
Variants range from the base $23,000 Optima Si to the top-of-the-range $41,580 Optima GT NAV (black Leather) Sunroof.
