The model has got a new, more stylish design, improved technical characteristics and a number of premium options.
According to Dmitry Novikov, one of the leading Ukrainian automotive designers, the new exterior solutions of the novelty will be used on other models of the Korean brand. Like its predecessor, the car retained a stylish coupe-like silhouette, which did not affect the spaciousness of the cabin, where, as the manufacturer himself notes, added a few centimeters for the legs of both front and rear passengers.
The most significant changes were made to the interior. From now on, the car is equipped with a multi-touch display deployed to the driver and premium acoustics from Harman-Kardon. The optional equipment includes a 360 ° camera, navigation system, automatic braking system, parking function and others. At first, the Kia Optima will be sold on the Ukrainian market exclusively with a 1.7-liter turbodiesel and an advanced robotic gearbox, which provide excellent efficiency. - only 5.1 l / 100 km. A little later, a more powerful 2.4-liter gasoline engine, aggregated by a 6-level automatic transmission, will have to appear.
The Koreans emphasize that they significantly increased the rigidity of the body, which was achieved by increasing the share of high-strength steel by almost 2.5 times. As a result, the car received "5 stars" in the EuroNCAP tests.
In Ukraine, the model will be offered in three trim levels, the cost of which starts at UAH 747 thousand.
