The Optima is a car with exceptional
performance from three different engines
that are matched to six or seven-speed
transmissions to give you smooth and
precise handling. In addition, the fourwheel
independent suspension assures
a smooth and quiet ride, as the exterior
aerodynamics reduce wind and noise
while directing air flow.
The Optima looks and feels
full size, even though it is
referred to as a midsize sedan.
Safety has driven the Kia engineers
to include a variety of features that
range from construction with front and
rear crumple zones to advanced airbag
systems and seat belts. All of this comes
with Kia’s industry-leading 10-year,
100,000-mile warranty program, which is
a testament to their outstanding quality
and reliability. Kelly Blue Books was right.
