The new Kia Optima is packed with goodies to satisfy the
needs of most drivers and has finally made its entrance into the South African
market. Although more models might be on offer in the future, one model stands
tall, the Optima sports sedan.
The Kia Optima will no doubt be turning heads on South
African roads with its uniquely sporty cross coupe look. The Kia Optima is
powered by a 2.4 litre engine producing 132kW and accelerating to 100 km/h in
9.5 seconds with a top speed of 210 km/h. Transmission comes in the form of a
six-speed manual/automatic sequential gearbox. Fuel consumption for the Kia Optima sits at
8.7 litres / 100 km with a CO2 emission of 207g / km.
The interior is superbly comfortable taking on the look and
feel of a cockpit and is packed with features that are largely considered as ‘extras’
by other car manufacturers. An eight-speaker sound system will keep you
entertained while you explore the 12.5 cm color info screen in the center of
the dash. Standard features include auto de-fogging, rear camera, power windows
and mirrors, rear ventilation, auto cruise, stop-start button, automatic
door-locking, auto headlight leveling, auto wipers, rear parking radar,
anti-lock brakes, stability control, airbags, child seat anchors and the list
goes on forever with the Kia Optima.
At R305 995, the Kia Optima is an excellent option
considering all the included features. The
only optional extra is the panoramic glass roof which will result in a price
tag of just R315 995.
The Kia Optima may just be the best valued family sedan in
South Africa and it looks hot too. What do you think of the new Kia Optima?
