The all-new 2016 Kia Optima maintains its athletic identity but rides on a chassis that is longer, wider and stiffer for improved ride and handling and a more spacious cabin.

Available with three engine choices, including a new 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, the 2016 Optima is more confident than ever on the road.

The all-new Optima's roomier, more luxurious cabin features an impressive level of craftsmanship that is standard across five trim levels - LX, LX Turbo, EX, SX Turbo and SXL.

Sweeping contemporary surfaces and modern architecture inspired the design of the all-new Optima, revealing a sophisticated and dynamic sedan that is instantly recognizable yet has more road presence than ever.

Optima's luxurious interior is obsessively crafted with an impressive attention to detail and features real stitching along the dash and doors, complimented by tasteful metallic accents, varying by trim level.

Kia's cutting-edge connectivity system, UVO2, comes standard with four additional eServices not previously available on Optima: Geo-fencing, Speed Alert, Curfew Alert and Driving Score. Additionally, Optima has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which allow drivers to access a suite of core functions from their smartphones.

Powerplants are the 2.4-liter GDI four-cylinder that produces 185 horsepower and 178 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2.0-liter turbo generates approximately 247 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with Sportmatic shifting.

All new for the 2016 model is a 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbo engine. Pushing out an estimated 178 horsepower and a stout 195 lb.-ft. of torque, the new engine mates to a seven-speed DCT, a first for the Kia brand. The transmission optimizes the engine's responsiveness for a sporty feel.
