In the Hyundai-Kia concern, many interesting new products were prepared in the near future. Despite the fact that most of the models running along our roads are extremely budgetary and economical models, the plant also produces a couple of very respectable models, which, not surprisingly, use enviable demand in the United States. Now, we hope these cars will win the local market with the new Kia Optim.
This year, 4 Optima model was presented at the New York Motor Show, which was noticeably “finished”. In part, thanks to the basis from the senior Sonata and, of course, the latest tendency in this segment. After all, there was no such thing that the S-class would become already and shorter.

No one is going to refuse chrome elements, but they are not observed here of excessive abundance. Unless, on some versions of the original cast discs 18 or 19 inches, the car will look slightly pretentious. The salon has become more “European” and now does not resemble the old Japanese cars, but rather one of the latest VAG or BMW models, was especially pleased that the central ducts fell lower and no longer framed the screen. Coup.
The easiest motor in the ruler is 1.6 liters for 180 forces with a 7 -step dioxide gearbox of its own production. There will be more familiar 2 liter and 2.4 liter options with the same, robotic transmission.
The approximate cost is not reported, but it is known that the equipment of the car is already in the basic version will not be very poor. Rear view camera, several airbags, active safety systems and other modern elements necessary for comfortable driving. More expensive modifications will receive a 360 -degree review system and a tracking system for road markings.
The car in our market will appear closer to autumn, first of all, the 4th Optim will receive auto -houses in the USA and, of course, Korea.
