It is available for the moment with a single 1.7 liter diesel engine with 141 horses, mated to a manual transmission or an automatic six relations seven (double clutch, manufactured by KIA). With a manual transmission unit I made a short tour combining road and national highway during the presentation, and I found a comfortable tourism, wide, especially in traseras- and management simple and nice places, but its engine is not especially powerful and quiet.
It measures 4.85 meters long, 1.46 m high and 1.86 m wide, so it is ligeramante longer, taller and wider than its predecessor. The wheelbase is also 1 centimeter longer (measured 2.81 meters). KIA says inside the new Optima is more spacious and, in fact, according to our measurements, all dimensions are superior, especially emphasizing the width of the rear seats, with five centimeters at the shoulder height (139 cm) and the distance to the legs, six centimeters (84 cm). Exceeds one centimeter distance leg is in the rear of a Skoda Superb (83 cm), and the Hyundai i40 eight centimeters (76 cm). More details are in the comparative table interior measurements .
The trunk has a volume of 510 liters, which is 5 more than the 2014 Optima, and allows very uniform distribution of the load. It is smaller than a Mondeo (525 l), a Volkswagen Passat (586 l) and Renault Talisman (608 l), but greater than a Insignia 4 door (500 l) and 508 (473 l ).
In the structure of the Optima 2016 is no greater amount of high strength steel in the Optima 2014, which increases the torsional rigidity of the vehicle and help reduce the vibrations that produce asphalt potholes. Furthermore, by using higher insulation, driving the Optima 2016 according KIA, more comfortable. There are more details in the technical information .
While driving, the Optima feels lighter than, say, an Opel Insignia. Low vibration from the diesel engine, whether the engine is cold or operating temperature, and stopped or running are perceived. The sound is fine filtering below 2500 rpm, and is noticeable but not annoying overhead. In fact, it is the only noise you hear when driving on the motorway at sustained speed, since neither the noises coming from the aerodynamic or rolling noticeable.
I've only driven with manual transmission. The shifter is handled smoothly, it is precisely in the inserts and tight courses. The Diesel of 141 horses engine gives the Optima a normal performance, right to move to a brisk pace unless it is heavily loaded, and the virtue of having a good reserve of power in the intermediate speed range, allowing gain speed gears circulate by highway although with a fairly steep slope. It is brighter in this regard that when overtaking, when the engine at high rpm is used, which prompts a smooth driving. He reminded the Hyundai i40 in this regard, but I think everything is functioning generally more refined.
The damping works correctly, provides good insulation because the passage is not sharp in any situation, and has a rather soft setting. The only caveat is that the tires of the Nexen brand, has seemed to give little grip in wet soil. According to Kia, with 16-inch wheels, the wheels are of manufacturer Kumho and Nexen, with 17 are Continental and Michelin are the 18. The steering is very crowded and although it is not inaccurate, it would be nice if it would bring more confidence to harden further increase speed.
The interior of the Optima is comfortable with all well-placed controls and correct amount there are less buttons on the center console in the Optima 2014, as seen in this image of the Optima 2016 and 2014 this model -. I was easy to adopt a comfortable driving position because the possibilities are wide control and steering wheel is always slightly inclined. The materials give an impression of normal quality with no elements of poor appearance and strong enough adjustments, although there are similarly priced alternatives like the Ford Mondeo or Mazda6 are best topped inside. Voids to empty pockets supplies are either hand and are great, especially the glove compartment, where in addition to the documentation, fit objects of a certain size.
The most remarkable quality of Optima is certainly has the space in the rear seats, where two adults up to 1.85 m tall can travel with legs slightly flexed and in an upright position without hitting head the roof, and three people of normal size travel with less distress to shoulder level than most competing models with the Optima, but in no case loose. Only the DS 5 , Mazda6 and the Skoda Superb have more width in that area, but the headroom to the roof is in all lower. In the front seats measures are higher than the average of its alternatives.
KIA offers three levels of equipment: "Concept," "Drive" and "Emotion". From the most basic level are standard alloy wheels, 16 inches, a navigation system with seven-inch screen, with indications on the implementation through a screen of 3.5 inch and cruise control . The second level adds, among other things, 17-inch wheels, the driver's seat with electric adjustment, the alert involuntary change lanes , the system of traffic sign recognition , xenon headlamps, pilots and ledes 4.3-inch screen in the instrumentation.
At level "Emotion", Kia adds 18-inch wheels, xenon headlamps complete with adaptive lighting , heating for all seats and ventilation in the front, sound equipment manufacturer Harman Kardon and a navigation system with eight-inch screen. All navigation systems are developed for mapping Here seven years of free updates and additional services (locating radars, traffic density and weather forecasting among other things) TomTom .
The impression I have is that the larger screen multimedia gives a sharper image on its surface and no opacities are generated because of the dirt, something that does happen in the least. Operating systems Auto Android and Apple carplay , which facilitate the connection and interaction with end Android smartphone and Apple respectively, are not yet available.
Other items of equipment available for the Optima 2016 are overhead view camera, active cruise control , detecting objects in the blind spot and emergency braking system. Seven body colors available.
In the coming months, Kia will launch a family version of this model will be based on the Sportspace, a prototype presented in February 2015 ( more information ), a variant with five-door body called GT , a level of equipment based in it for the four-door version called GT Line, and Optima plug-in hybrid (there was an Optima Hybrid stopped selling it in 2013). There will also be a version later supercharged petrol engine of 245 horses, and KIA claims to have ruled out a 2.0 liter naturally aspirated engine that gives 163 horses initially announced itself.
