2016 Kia Optima

Kia has taken the necessary steps to make the new Optima an even more rewarding driving machine. Featuring a roomier interior and a new engine choice, the 2016 Kia Optima has what it takes to become the best family sedan on the market. Although the Optima was always noted for its sporty styling, the new model is now more refined than ever before. Featuring a long list of safety equipment, the 2016 Kia Optima is also expected to be one of the most secure vehicles on the road.

From a performance perspective, the biggest news is the arrival of a smaller turbocharged engine. Producing a total of 178 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque, the engine delivers a high degree of fun without sacrificing any fuel efficiency. This engine will be paired with a new dual-clutch transmission, which should help to further enhance the sedan’s performance. Like last year, the Optima will also be available with a naturally-aspirated engine that pumps out 185 horsepower. However, the sizzling 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine is still the best choice for performance freaks. It can push out a heart-racing 247 ponies.

According to Motor Trend, the 2016 Kia Optima is just a tad bit longer and wider than the outgoing version. The extra width will definitely help to enhance the sedan’s stability on the road. If you love a whisper-quiet ride, the sedan’s well-insulated cabin should keep road noise to minimum. Meanwhile, the use of beefier wheel bearings will also elevate the Optima’s comfort.

The Kia Optima’s sporty appearance is bolstered by a new “tiger-nosed” grille and a set of eye-catching headlights. While the 2016 Optima does not look drastically different than its predecessor, subtle enhancements have been made throughout the exterior. The styling improvements enable the Optima to stand toe-to-toe with sedans that are much more expensive. As stated by JD Power, prospective buyers will also be able to choose from three new paint colors.

On the inside, the new Optima is clearly a step above the competition. By making a few changes to the interior, the Kia design team was able to increase trunk space and the amount of rear-seat legroom. Families will love the sedan’s overall versatility.

An incredible amount of technology is offered for the 2016 Kia Optima. The exclusive UVO eServices package is now available with even more features, including Speed Alert and Curfew Alert. Designed with Clari-Fit technology, the optional Infinity audio system delivers superb sound quality. Advanced safety features such as the Around View Camera system give you an extra touch of awareness on the road.

The 2016 Kia Optima should hit dealerships in the latter part of the year. While the official pricing has yet to be announced, the sedan will likely be an outstanding value.
