Kia Motors USA unveiled the next generation Optima at the 2010 New York Auto Show. The 2011 Optima not only promises stunning new looks but outstanding fuel economy and performance as well.
“The all-new Optima is a new strand in Kia’s growing design DNA with a blend of simple and fluid lines and elegant but uncomplicated shapes that draw the attention of the eye in much the same fashion as a perfectly-tailored fine Italian suit,” said Peter Schreyer, chief design officer, Kia Motors Corporation. “From the distinctive sweeping chrome accent that stretches through the C pillars to the sleek greenhouse and flared wheel arches, every inch of the Optima projects a distinguished and refined style and extreme attention to detail.”
Buyers will be able to choose from a 200 horsepower 2.4L, a turbocharged 2.0L delivering 274 horsepower and 34mpg, and a hybrid system. Set to hit the market in 2011, the Optima Hybrid will mark the brand’s first gas-electric model.
