Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The KIA OPTIMA (2012-15) 4DR SALOON 1.7 CRDI ECODYNAMICS DPF SS 134 EU5 1 6SPD is a spacious, four-door family saloon, offering a roomier alternative to mainstream hatchbacks and a more traditional choice than an SUV. In the UK, it sits in the practical, value-focused large saloon class, competing with models such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat.
With its economical 1.7-litre diesel engine and stop-start features, this Optima is well suited to regular commuting, motorway journeys and family duties, with a comfortable cabin and generous boot for passengers and luggage. It may appeal to drivers wanting long-distance efficiency and useful space without paying for a premium badge; its six-speed manual gives direct control, while the saloon shape keeps it composed and understated.
