Awarded as AJAC’s Best New Family Vehicle under $30,000 the all-new Kia Optima takes everything about a mid-size sedan and flips it on its head. It starts with Optima’s breathtaking design, recognized with a string of prestigious awards from the world’s leading design forums1 It continues with an exceptional 2.4-litre gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine – one of two Optima engine choices – that delivers class-leading horsepower. Even Optima’s safety goes beyond the conventional: It’s one of the few vehicles anywhere to have earned an IIHS "Top Safety Pick" and a NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety rating for 2011.
