All-new, All-inclusive Optima
Under the direction of Kia's Chief Design Officer Peter Schreyer, the Kia design teams have created the third-generation Optima, boasting highly competitive performance as well as an all-inclusive luxurious package.
"With the all-new Optima, our global design team has created a vehicle with distinctive dimensions and proportions that stands apart from everything else in its segment. Using an all-new platform and bodyshell, the Optima moves our mid-size sedan product up to the next level of Kia's design revolution," comments Ray Levin, CEO, Kia Motors South Africa.
Kia's product concept behind the creation of new Optima focused on four key areas. Stand-out Styling - a unique exterior with a driver-oriented interior, Excellent Performance - a competitive and more efficient engine with a six-speed transmission, Superior Packaging - new, longer wheelbase platform and Advanced Features - high-tech features to boost Optima's status and Kia's brand identity.
The Optima is available now, with the 2.4 litre Theta II petrol engine with a six-speed automatic transmission, from Kia Umhlanga on 031 570 4700. Visit their showroom and expose yourself to the future of motoring, at 1 - 3 Meridian Drive, Umhlanga Ridge.
